Healesville Race 1

Prize Money: $2,925

WILD VENUS (1) has some solid form under her belt and proved too strong last time to win by half a length at this track in a handy 19.75 beating King Plum. Can make it two on the bounce. DONEGAL EXPRESS (8) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by one length at this track in a handy 16.87 beating New Arrangement. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Should feature again. LAINEY JANE (2) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 4th (25.86) at Shepparton. The form out of her last race has been franked. One of the better hopes. REDGUM WARS (3) profiles nicely over this trip.

Good effort to score just four days ago over 350m at this track by half a length in a Grade 5. Can make it back to back wins.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (25.86) at Shepparton over 450m. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Goes well at this track and trip. Latest effort finished 7th over 350m at this track beaten 6 lengths (20.08) behind Sonic Diesel in a Grade 5 on September 5. Has ability and worth including.

Has finished sixth at his last couple of starts, most recently at Warragul over 460m. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by half a length in 17.06, beating Electra Opal. Last start finished 7th in a Free For All on August 31 over 300m at this track behind Knee Deep beaten 7 lengths (17.14). Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy (19.59), beating Sonia's Beauty. Will find this a bit tougher, prepared to risk on this occasion.
