Healesville Race 3

Jason Mckeown Photography

Prize Money: $1,530

SWOOPING SWAN (4) won by a space two back then gave a start but got home into the frame when second at Sale (24.96) last time. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expected to feature in the finish again. CLARA STELLA (7) has missed the frame at her last two but did run well three back when third (24.67) in a Grade 5 at Bendigo. Can find the frame this time. INTERCEPT QUEEN (5) produced a moderate performance last time when seventh at Shepparton over 450m behind Paw Illabo (26.07) in a Grade 5. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Likely to be about the money. CONTRALTO (8) can sneak into the finish while fresh.

Was out of placings last time (20.09) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 5 lengths. Has two successes and two minors from eight starts from box 1. Looks a place chance at best.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (24.96) at Sale over 435m. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Was out of placings last time (26.07) at Shepparton in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Looks well placed and should feature.

Latest effort finished 7th in a Grade 5 on May 9 over 350m at this track behind Zinzan Charlie beaten 7 lengths (20.31). Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Returns from a nine weeks spell and hit the frame when last resuming, finishing second over 300m at this track. Well placed and among the chances here.
