Healesville Race 7

Gorski Engineering

Prize Money: $3,360

SHIMA SEAL (3) was out of the placings last time when fifth at Warragul (26.32) but scored three back at Ballarat (25.20). The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can discover winning form. SUN IN CUBA (5) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 1.75 lengths (19.18) at this track. Harder here but expected to feature again. STILSON (2) should be thereabouts despite an unplaced run here most recently.

Hit the frame latest (30.03) when third at Sandown in a Grade 5. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Was out of the placings last time at this track but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching four minors in a row. Drawn a inside box but will need to find best.

Returns from a 11 months spell after being tipped out on the back of a minor placing (28.16) over 500m at Bendigo. Has had two fresh up runs and has recorded the one placing. Tough line-up and place prospects appear best.

Impressive performance to score by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at this track, clocking a brilliant 19.18 for the 350m trip. In form and looks tough to beat again.

Had been racing in honest fashion before missing the frame last time out, finishing seventh (19.55) at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate and needs to find best form to feature.
