Healesville Race 2

Db Construction

Prize Money: $2,925

NIGHTMARE GAVIN (8) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from four tries. Comes off a (16.90) win last time, scoring by a neck in a T3 RSTW over 300m at this track. Appeals as a leading chance in this. HOW MUCH LONGER (5) placed two back then broke his maiden status by 0.8 lengths (17.03) at this track over 300m. Can measure up again. ZENYATTA (2) is better than last start when fourth (22.63) in a Mix 6/7 at Shepparton over 390m. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. DIRTY APOLLO (1) can return to form after missing the top-three at this circuit last time out.

Won two starts back over 390m at Shepparton. Last start he finished last in a Mix 6/7 H on August 23 over 350m at this track behind Gunai Rambo beaten 4.5 lengths (19.53). Draw likely to suit. Major threat on best form.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 300m at this track. That followed a win two back in 17.00 beating Two Star Mikado over 300m at this track. Happy enough to avoid.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 0.8 lengths over 300m at this track in a handy 17.03, beating Zane's Train. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around this track over 300m in 16.90, claiming a T3 RSTW by a neck. Looks the one to beat again.
