Healesville Race 6

Montrose Iga Liquor

Prize Money: $2,925

PAW SAKAKIBURA (4) missed the frame over 350m at Murray Bridge latest but ran a swift 19.13 when beaten 2.5 lengths. Smart run latest and looks a key chance again here. LIGHTNING JEWEL (7) hit the frame latest (19.43) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Has already won out of this draw. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. MEPUNGA SAGE (2) is new here but can play a major role.

Returns from a eight months break and only other fresh up run was on debut, when a 29.90 winner over 525m at The Meadows. Major threat on best form.

Good effort to win last start by one length over 300m at this track in a handy (16.93), beating Ruxton Shine. Sure to be about the mark.

Could manage only fourth last time but turned heads the start prior when he clocked an outstanding 19.19 over 350m when just missed, at this track. Expected to go close with a repeat.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when third (19.71) over 350m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Looks tested in this line-up.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warragul over 400m in 22.93. Followed that up with a minor placing over 400m at Geelong at Grade 5 five days ago. Hard to have without further improvement.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 0.8 lengths second over 350m this track in 19.43. Comes through a solid form race. Expected to feature.
