Healesville Race 7

Healesville Football Netball Club

Prize Money: $3,360

FLAMING FOX (1) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at this track over 350m behind Catch Some Rays (19.82) in a Free For All. Has ability and looks hard to stop. GREYSYND MERLIN (5) was rewarded for his honesty after three minors on end with a deserved win last time, scoring at Shepparton over 390m (22.22). Leading player again. GO GO JEFF (3) has been a little hard to follow, missing the frame last time but was a Grade 5 winner three starts ago and has drawn 3 where he has two wins. Expected to do much better this time. PAT'S BOY (2) returns after a break and looks a top-three hope.

Was out of placings last time (19.82) at this track in a Free For All, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths. Goes very well off the draw boasting two wins and two places from five starts. Makes strong appeal.

Comments

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (24.62) at big odds over 425m at Bendigo. Has to overcome a wide draw but is worth plenty of thought.
