Healesville Race 3

Montrose Iga Liquor (2-3 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,530

REDBACK EXPRESS (6) drew an outside box and was game in defeat when only 0.8 lengths from the winner Little Whip in third(17.20) at this track. Overdue and is among the main hopes. GREYSYND MERLIN (3) settled down midfield and held his position to the line when finishing 4th (17.21) at this track. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. CRUISING AMY (1) produced a modest effort most recently when seventh at Ballarat over 390m behind Boston Legal (23.39) in a T3 RSTW. Was in the money the start prior. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. One of the better chances. SPOKEN (2) cannot be left out over a shorter distance.

Has been racing well and overdue. Latest effort finished 3rd on September 26 over 300m at this track behind Little Whip beaten 0.8 lengths (17.20) in a Grade 5. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Starting from wide draw and hasn't shown anything recently, all starting at big odds. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Comments

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (23.13) at big odds over 400m at Warragul. Has a wide draw to navigate but can measure up.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
