Healesville Race 6

Sportsbet Healesville Cup Ht4

Prize Money: $7,325

SERIAL STICKER (7) hit the frame latest (18.98) when second at Q Straight in a OPEN. Has four wins already from this draw. Looks the one to beat with even luck. FERNANDO PHIL (1) is worth forgiving last start after finishing seventh (26.92) from Box 6 at Geelong over 460m. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Likely to play a prominent role. FLYING DOORMAT (4) has a strong record this trip with six wins and five placings from 13 starts. Missed the frame latest (29.91) when fourth over 515m at Sandown in a Grade 5 FIN. Can hit the frame with the right run. KNEE DEEP (8) comes off a (16.63) win last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths in a Free For All over 300m at this track. Has four wins already from this draw.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (26.92) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 14 length seventh. Is yet to miss the placings from this box, including two wins. Looks suited and should go close.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th on August 16 over 515m at Sandown behind Highly Abrasive beaten 4 lengths (29.91) in a Grade 5 FIN. Placed two back at Geelong. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.
