Healesville Race 9

Db Construction

Prize Money: $2,925

FLYING MAVERICK (1) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 16.63 beating He's Talking. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Can measure up again. RIPPED PAIGE (3) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by a neck at Shepparton in a handy 25.67 beating Romani Road. Deserves serious consideration again. DARING BANDIT (6) has a strong record this trip with six wins and two placings from 15 starts. Was out of placings last time (19.51) at this track in a Free For All, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths. Can feature in the finish. MORNING (2) deserves plenty of thought over this distance.

Eye-catching performance to score by a 0.8 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording a brilliant 16.63 over the 300m journey. Can measure up again if runs up to that effort.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (29.64) at big odds over 515m at Sandown. Draws an inside box and is in the mix.

Solid performance after tracking the speed to win by a neck at Shepparton over 450m (25.67) beating Romani Road in Grade 5 on July 27. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won easily by 3.5 lengths at Sale (24.27) beating Party Started in a Grade 5 on July 19. Prepared to risk on this occasion.

Has failed to fire at the last couple but she goes well over this track and distance with six wins from 12 starts. Has an exceptional 19.2 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Won her last couple, most recently at this track on July 26 over 350m in 19.35. Not suited by the wide draw; Likely to struggle this time.
