Watchdog provides all the details & statistics, as well as comments and tips from the Watchdog experts you need to make the most of your form analysis. However, the old printable form guides are still available from the FastTrack website and can be downloaded for each track, including:
- the Snapshot provides just that - a snapshot of each race for
a Race meet, with recommended bets and form comments for the dogs selected by the form analysts to be the top 4 dogs with the most chance in the race.
- the Whisper provides basic form information about each of the dogs
in the race, as well as expert comments about each runner in the race.
- the Runaway Train provides basic form information
for each of the runners in the race. It also provides a speed map of the 1st split speed for each of the dogs.
- the Brainstormer includes a cover page providing detailed
track statistics. It also shows more detailed form information for each of the dogs in the race, a speed map of 1st split speeds, and some basic infomation about teh overall career
statistics and box records.
- the most detailed of the downloadable guides, the
Brain Stormer also includes a cover page with track statistics. It shows detailed form information for each runner, including it's last 8 races, overall career statistics and box
history, and a speed map.All information displayed in these form guides (and so much more) is available in the app… for every Race… at every Victorian track.
