Healesville Race 8

Sportsbet Fast Form (300+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

BIG PLAYER (3) was a (19.64) winner last time out at this track from Box 6. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Well placed and can measure up. MIDNIGHT IN SALE (2) finished third (19.72) two back at this track but out of the placings last time when 6th at Shepparton. Has a good record here at this journey. Should be in this for a long way. DISTORTED HUMOUR (1) finished second (25.21) two back at Sale but out of the placings last time when 8th at Shepparton. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. RAVEN FORCE (7) jumps at a shorter trip and still warrants respect.
