Healesville Race 8

Gorski Engineering

Prize Money: $3,360

MILE A MINUTE (4) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (18.95) at Q Straight. Form here is sound including 19 wins. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Sure to be about the mark. CATCH SOME RAYS (2) has a strong record this track and trip with 17 wins and nine placings from 41 starts. Was out of the placings last time (19.28) at Murray Bridge in a OPEN, finishing fourth and beaten 4 lengths. Looks suited here and can measure up. ESPECIAL KAI (7) goes very well here starting 13 times for six wins and four minors. Comes off a (16.60) win last time, scoring by half a length in a Mix 3/4 over 300m at this track. Can feature in the finish. RHYTHMIC ENERGY (1) was strongly fancied on the back of a win two starts ago but finished sixth last time (27.91) at Horsham. Goes very well from this draw with six wins and two minor placings from 10 starts.

Did a good job two starts back at Shepparton to win by 3.5 lengths in 21.88, beating Lightning Range. Last start finished 5th in a Grade 5 on May 4 over 450m at Shepparton behind Reckless beaten 4.5 lengths (26.05). Has claims on best form.

Impressive performance to score by a half a length in a Mix 3/4 last start at this track, clocking a brilliant 16.60 for the 300m trip. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.
