Healesville Race 8

Sportsbet Ht4

Prize Money: $2,925

COMMANCHE JACK (1) is a sprinter who thrives over these shorter races. Was a winner last time (24.45) over 425m at Bendigo in a Grade 5 and is even better suited coming back in trip. Strike rate this course and distance strong having won four of eight tries. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Can make it two on the bounce. FLAMING FOX (2) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 3.5 lengths win at this track in a handy 19.38. Draws to advantage and goes well over this trip. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. SLICK TOMMY (8) placed three back at Geelong then out of the placings last couple but moves to box 8 this time where he has performed well. Can turn it around this time. PAW WALDO (6) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by a neck at Bendigo over 425m (24.45) beating Paw Gertrude in Grade 5 on September 18. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 3.5 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy 19.38, beating Raging Elsa. Was in the money two on end before breaking through last start. Stick with him.

Racing well without winning, filling the minors at her last three starts, the latest when third (26.49) at Geelong. Has a low draw. Looking to others.

Missed the frame last time but the start prior recorded a respectable 22.23 over 390m finishing third at Shepparton. Harder here and one for the multiples.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 300m. Last start finished 7th on September 13 over 350m at this track behind Raging Storm beaten 7 lengths (19.67) in a Grade 5. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recently finished 5th on August 28 over 425m at Traralgon behind Jorogumo beaten 2 lengths (24.49) in a Grade 4/5. Racing well and has to be included.
