Healesville Race 4

Prize Money: $1,530

BRAVADO (1) flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a neck second (16.88) over 300m at this track and making it two placings on end. Can find winning form. BOY (3) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only 2 lengths from Barking Blue in second (17.10) at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. NEW ARRANGEMENT (8) has hit the frame here at the last two runs, most recently finishing third beaten 4 lengths (17.22). Well-placed to take this out. STILTON SWIRL (2) is worth a look over a shorter trip this time.

Looks close to another win after his success on October 17 at this track over 300m. Last start was second over 300m in 16.88, behind Head Hunter. Capable of a strong show.

Comments

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (17.10) over 300m at this track. Overdue for a win and gets his chance this time.

Hit the frame latest (22.64) when third at Shepparton in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Can feature in the finish.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by half a length in 17.18, beating Snag. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on November 14 over 300m at this track behind Barking Blue beaten 3.5 lengths (17.19). Looking to others this time.

Last start finished seventh on November 17 over 390m at Ballarat behind Argyle Emma, beaten 8 lengths (23.21) in a Grade 5. Will find this a little easier. Leading chance on best form.

In the money last time at this track (17.22) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4 length third. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from nine starts. Expected to go close.
