Healesville Race 3

Healesville Bowling Club

Prize Money: $1,530

OPALINA (3) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 3 lengths at this track in a handy 17.10 beating Miss Galore. Great chance to get the job done again. RAPIDFIRE LAYLA (1) had won two in a row before finishing third (22.66) last time at Ballarat. Winning chance. DIM SIM OLLIE (2) had a tricky draw last time and although midfield in fourth wasn't far away finishing 5 lengths from the winner (17.08). Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Expected to feature in the finish. HIGHLAND SAL (5) was in the money last start in fast time and should feature again.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (24.81) over 425m at Bendigo. Squeeze draw to overcome. Prefer others.
