Healesville Race 4

Healesville Bowling Club

Prize Money: $3,360

LADY GUNAI (8) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 5 lengths away in fifth (19.22). Was in the money the start prior. Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from four starts. Should bounce back. KNEE DEEP (5) goes very well this course and distance starting 40 times for 14 wins and 15 minors. In the money last time at this track (16.72) in a Free For All, finishing a one length third. Can hit the frame with the right run. NEGATIVE NIBBS (3) was an impressive last start winner, scoring an excellent 16.63 win and a new Best time this course and distance. Harder here but expected to feature again. BE GRITTY (1) is always a threat when she races at this track and distance.

Comments

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3.5 lengths fifth (19.63) over 350m at this track. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior recorded a fast 16.71 over 300m finishing second at this track. Bold showing expected but prefer each way again.

Has hit the frame the last couple. Finished third at this track latest but prior to that recorded a convincing 16.53 over 300m when edged out, at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fifth (16.83) at this track over 300m. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Comments

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 5th in a Free For All on June 7 over 350m at this track behind Catch Some Rays beaten 5 lengths (19.22). Placed two back at this track. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on her best form.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
