Healesville Race 6

Vic Straight Track Championship Ht1

Prize Money: $3,360

MILE A MINUTE (1) has a strong record this track and trip with 21 wins and nine placings from 32 starts. Below best last time at Geelong (23.15) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 11 length fourth. Looks suited and should go close. ESPECIAL KAI (7) boasts a strong record this journey with 14 wins and 16 minors from 37 tries. Placed last time (19.28) at this track in a Free For All, finishing third and beaten 3 lengths. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. GALENTO (4) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by 0.8 lengths at Sandown in a handy 29.59 beating Giacomo. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Can make it two on the bounce. EVIL EYE (6) form at this distance reads well.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Grade 4/5 on July 31 over 400m at Geelong behind Weblec Joel beaten 11 lengths (23.15). Placed two back at this track. Looks a strong winning hope.

In fine form with wins at his last couple of outings when well in the market most recently at Geelong. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by half a length in 16.52, beating Crackerjack Les. Last start finished 5th over 350m at this track beaten 4.5 lengths (19.20) behind Smart As You in a Free For All on August 2. Has the ability to be in the finish.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 350m. Last start finished 3rd on July 26 over 350m at this track behind Smart As You beaten 3 lengths (19.28) in a Free For All. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
