Healesville Race 2

Gap Veterans (200+Rank)

Prize Money: $2,925

FIDDLES (1) had been in great form but missed the frame latest when seventh (19.44) in a Free For All at this track. Shuffled back off the squeeze box last time and never in it. Looks the one to beat on his best form. WILL VANSON (5) turned in a solid run last start over 300m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 3 lengths (17.05). Has a good record here at this journey. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Has the ability to give this a shake. SONIC DIESEL (3) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 2.75 lengths at this track in a handy 19.44 beating Idron Bale. The form out of his last race has been franked. Likely to be in the finish. IDYLLIC JAMES (2) can fill a top-three spot.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.43) in a Grade 5 FIN, finishing a 15 length eighth. Goes very well off the draw boasting two wins and two places from five starts. Has ability and should be around the money.
