Healesville Race 10

Montrose Iga Liquor

Prize Money: $2,925

SMART TALK (7) was well supported last time but could only manage third (19.76), beaten 0.8 lengths. Racing well and deserves a win. SPECIAL SIAN (2) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 7 lengths into third (23.10) at Warragul in a Grade 5 over 400m. Racing well and deserves a win. AUSSIE SAVANNAH (1) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing 3 lengths behind Electra Opal in 19.46 and recording a new PB here. This tougher but expected to be in the finish. THAI BUTTERFLY (3) placed last time at this track and distance - worth some thought.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (19.46) over 350m at this track. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.

Latest effort finished 3rd on July 11 over 400m at Warragul behind Do Something beaten 7 lengths (23.10) in a Grade 5. More than capable and well placed to find her best form.

Charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (19.56) at this track over 350m. The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.

Backs up after winning by 1.3 lengths at Ballarat (22.42) beating Paw Olyslagers in a Grade 5 on July 14 six days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and he needs to find another gear.
