Healesville Race 9

Gorski Engineering

Prize Money: $1,530

OPALINA (1) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by a neck at this track in a handy 19.56 beating Yeah You. Looks the one to beat. DINOSAUR DEANO (2) ran good time (16.81) winning a Grade 5 three back at this track but missed the frame latest finishing sixth at this track. Rates a winning chance on best. IN THE CLOUDS (3) ran below best last time finishing sixth (17.23) over 300m at this track from Box 6. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Worth following up. MUM'S TONKA (8) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional, going on to clock 19.56 in a neck win at this track over 350m. Can win again.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.09) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths sixth. Goes very well from the draw boasting four victories and six places from 15 starts. Leading chance.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 300m at this track. This looks too tough.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 350m. Last start finished 5th on September 11 over 300m at this track behind Simply Petite beaten 2.75 lengths (17.11) in a Grade 5. The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.
