Healesville Race 11

Db Construction

Prize Money: $2,925

HEATHCOTE RUPEE (1) hit the ground running from out wide with a fast early sectional but run over late and missed the frame when a 2.25 lengths fourth (23.81) over 410m at Horsham. Tough to beat if on-song. NEGATIVE NIBBS (5) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 2.75 lengths at this track in a handy 19.46 beating Destini Kadali. Expected to measure up again. BLAME KARISSA (6) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Has hit the frame the last two runs, the latest when second (24.45) at Bendigo. Winning chance. LITTLE THIEF (2) warrants respect with the drop in journey.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (23.81) at Horsham over 410m. Has an excellent 19.24 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Comments

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around this track over 350m in 19.46, claiming a Grade 5 by 2.5 lengths. Has never missed the frame in four starts from the draw. Solid prospects.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
