Healesville Race 7

Montrose IGA Liquor

Prize Money: $2,925

MISS MAXIMUS (5) recorded her 3rd career win last time at Bendigo, scoring by 1.3 lengths (23.97). Can continue on her winning ways. RAGING STORM (7) hit the frame last time at this track but the start prior rocketed around 300m at this track in 16.65. Must include on winning run two back. PRISTINE (3) has shown good improvement at her last two starts, the latest scoring at this track over 300m. Expecting another bold showing. MAJOR ILLUSION (1) is worth consideration after filling a hole from the same draw last start.

Improved sharply when third behind Winking Willie at this track last start over 350m (19.54). Has to be respected.

Solid performance to win by 2 lengths at this track over 300m (16.86) beating Lektra Aela in Grade 5 on August 28. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.
