Healesville Race 8

The Shed At Healesville Greys

Prize Money: $1,530

GRETA'S GOLD (6) was below best last time when fourth at this track but prior to that among the placings in quick time (19.51) at this track. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. DARNUM BEAR (4) was a strong winner (19.51) from box 3 last time, scoring by 4 lengths at this track. Has the squeeze box to overcome and will need the breaks early. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Makes plenty of appeal if runs up to latest. YEAH YOU (2) broke from the inside draw and filled a minor placing last start, beaten only a neck (19.57) behind Opalina at this track. Ready to find winning form. DELIGHTFUL RAIN (1) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Was out of the placings last time at Warragul but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Aided by the inside draw but will need to find best.

Hit the frame latest (19.57) when second at this track in a Grade 5. Has two wins and three placings from nine starts from the draw. Looks well placed and should feature.

Did a good job two starts back at Sandown to win by 1.5 lengths in 30.03, beating Surf's Up. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on October 14 over 525m at The Meadows behind Power Play beaten 1.1 lengths (30.89). Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 4 length win at this track over 350m in 19.51. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last over 350m at this track beaten 2.25 lengths (19.51) behind Take His Cash in a Grade 5 on October 16. Placed two back at this track. Has a strong 19.33 PB at this course and distance. Hard to beat.
