Healesville Race 6

Montrose Iga Liquor

Prize Money: $1,530

KING CHERRY (1) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 350m behind Cash Now (19.87) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Should bounce back. CANNY LASS (3) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 350m behind Waltzing Diablo (19.83) in a Grade 5. Form from her last run is proving strong. Expected to feature in the finish. ZIPPI MUSTANG (2) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including a Special conditions Veteran race win two back (19.76) at this track. Rates a winning chance on best. ANGRY FRANKY (5) is a last start winner who rates one of the chances again.

Missed the frame latest (19.96) when seventh over 350m at this track in a Grade 5. Has two successes and three minors from nine starts from box 2. Looks a leading chance.

Working her way into winning form after her success on September 3 at this track over 350m. Last start was fifth over 350m in 19.83, behind Waltzing Diablo. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional and went on to clock 19.52 in a one length win at this track over 350m. Winner at the latest run in one of the quickest times on the card. Can measure up again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 400m at Warragul. Likely to find this too tough.
