Healesville Race 6

Gorski Engineering (300+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

GUMTREE HILL (6) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only 1.3 lengths from King Litterbug in third (19.61) at this track. Was a winner at his only start from this draw. Can go on with it. KING CHERRY (8) rocketed out of the inside draw with a strong early sectional and gave a sight but had to settle for a placing, finishing second (19.58) at this track over 350m. Didn't win last time but still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Expecting another good run. BARKING BLUE (7) has a strong record this track and trip with three wins and three placings from nine starts. Missed the frame latest (29.57) when fourth over 510m at Sale in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Suited here and expected to run well. ZIPPI MUSTANG (3) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

Nearing another win after his success on January 14 at Bendigo over 425m. Last start was second over 350m in 19.98, behind Soda Turkey. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.

Could only manage eighth last time but the start prior hit the frame at double figure odds when third (19.39) over 350m at this track. Aided by a low draw and is among the better hopes.

Backs up after winning by a head at Warrnambool (25.72) beating Lektra Sting in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on February 24 six days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and she needs to find another gear.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 1.3 lengths third over 350m at this track, clocking 19.61. Had won two on end prior to that last start placing. Can atone.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a one length second over 350m this track in 19.58. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.
