Healesville Race 8

Gorski Engineering

Prize Money: $1,530

TROPIC MAN (2) has a strong record this track and trip with five wins and four placings from 15 starts. Placed last time (19.78) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 1.4 lengths. Looks suited and should go close. BLITZ (1) is drawn well on the inside. Last start finished 6th over 350m at this track beaten 5 lengths (19.66) behind Abundant Lumens in a Special conditions Veteran race on February 22. Can hit the frame with the right run. YEAH YOU (6) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 3.5 lengths at Sale in a handy 24.68 beating Miss Bella Babe. Sure to be thereabouts. SUAVE (5) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish as public elect.

Jumped well at this track two runs back then again settled forward and finished second at this track last start over 350m from this same draw. Capable of a strong show.

Solid performance to win by half a length at this track over 350m (19.95) beating Blue Tick Nelson in Bottom Up - Grade 5 on February 23. Needs to find a bit more to test these.
