Healesville Race 7

Straight Racing....Great Racing

Prize Money: $1,530

GET A GRIP (8) was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 2.5 lengths sixth (19.65) over 350m at this track. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings five times from seven starts. Should bounce back. ASTON PLUS (1) jumps from the inside draw. Last start finished 4th over 390m at Ballarat beaten 5.5 lengths (22.77) behind Raven Force in a Grade 5 on September 19. Looks suited here and can measure up. BE A CHARACTER (2) has been out of the placings at his last couple but on the winners' heels when placing three back (25.22) in a Grade 5 at Sale. This looks easier and expected to improve sharply. JAZZ HANDS (7) hit the frame here last start so don't underestimate.

In the money last time at Bendigo (24.64) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4.5 lengths second. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Showed good improvement when third behind Blame Esmeralda at this track last start over 350m (19.82). Good beginner who shouldn't be far away in the run.

Comments

Was out of placings last time (19.65) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing sixth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed five times. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Expected Early Speed:Front Runner
