Healesville Race 3

Prize Money: $1,530

BE GRITTY (1) boasts a strong record this course with five wins and three minors from 14 tries. Missed the frame latest (17.06) when sixth over 300m at this track in a Grade 5. Makes strong appeal on best. WILD SAL (5) could manage only second at this track last time but impressed when clocking a strong 16.80 over 300m at this track the start prior. Has the ability and looks a key chance. LARA MOON (7) chased the lead early from the inside and boxed on well to finish second, beaten 3.5 lengths (22.54) at Ballarat in a Grade 5 over 390m. Expected to feature. SAILPLANE (2) returns here as an each-way chance.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (19.68) at this track over 350m. The form from the last run stacks up well. Worth including.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 350m at Traralgon in a handy (20.09), beating Zipping Nuttall. Will find this a bit tougher, not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

In the money last time at this track (19.51) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5, finishing a half a length second. Placed at all two starts from this draw. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
