Healesville Race 4

Montrose IGA Liquor

Prize Money: $3,360

DEADLY FORCE (3) got the job done again after running them ragged to make it two on the bounce at Shepparton over 450m (25.28). Winner at her latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. Expected to be right there at the finish again. SWEET LOVE (2) has a strong overall record having 15 wins and 21 places from 54 starts but was out of the money last time when fifth (16.78) over 300m at this track. Super consistent and can feature with the right run. ANGRY MURRAY COD (7) stuck on well last time to finish a nose back in second (19.39) at this track in a Grade 5 over 350m. Expected to be in this for a long way. BERSERKER VIKING (4) is a last start all-the-way winner. Must be respected.

Was out of placings last time (16.78) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 1.2 lengths. Placed at all three starts from this draw. Looks a key chance on best form.

Has won her last two. Good effort to score just five days ago over 450m at Shepparton by one length in a Grade 5. Hard to go past again.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 0.9 lengths in 19.40, beating Guardian. Last start finished 5th over 350m at this track beaten 5 lengths (19.56) behind Daring Bandit in a Grade 4/5 on August 28. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished last in a Grade 5 on August 16 over 350m at this track behind Mookaite beaten 4.5 lengths (19.69). Not among the main chances this time.
