Healesville Race 2

Sportsbet Ht2

Prize Money: $2,925

PLAY LAB (1) comes off an average run last start when fifth at Sale over 435m behind Daddy Cool (24.61) in a Free For All. Was in the money the start prior. Key runner on his best form. CORA MAC (6) lines up chasing three wins on end after scoring over 515m at Sandown in 29.76 last time, set up by a fast early sectional. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Can measure up again. ASTON LYON (2) has been out of the placings last two but prior to that produced a sharp 19.35 win over 350m at this track. Has the ability and can find winning form again. MCKERCHER (8) missed the frame latest (22.98) when sixth over 400m at Geelong in a Grade 5. Has already won out of this draw.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior clocked a fast 22.72 over 400m finishing third at Warragul. Looks the one to beat with a repeat of that effort.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but he has solid credentials over this track and distance. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording four placings in a row, before finishing fifth (26.33) at Warragul last start. Has a low draw but will need a little luck to feature.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 1.3 lengths in 19.23, beating Dusty Danae. Last start finished last on March 27 over 350m at this track behind Better Banjo beaten 6 lengths (19.90) in a Special conditions Veteran race. Is a danger.

Caught the eye with a fast early split last time and setting up a 1.5 lengths win at Sandown over 515m in 29.76, making it two wins on end. In top form and can make it three straight.
