Healesville Race 8

Straight Racing....Great Racing

Prize Money: $3,360

SPOT FOX (4) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by 1.75 lengths (19.09) at this track. Ideally placed to score again. SONIC DIESEL (8) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive before that in his sharp 16.71 win at this track over 300m. Expecting another bold showing. GOT FLAIR (1) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (22.92) in a Grade 4/5 at Warragul latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Key player on best and worth another try. HEAD HUNTER (3) warrants respect following a recent placing in a fast run.

Was out of placings last time (22.92) at Warragul in a Grade 4/5, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths. Placed at all three starts from this draw. Looks well placed and should feature.

Resumes from a break and did win only other start when fresh which was on debut, scoring over 525m at The Meadows. Has ability and worth including.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 1.75 lengths second at this track but did record a brilliant 19.22 for the 350m trip. Bold showing expected but prefer each way again.

Eye-catching performance to score by a nose in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording an enormous 16.60 over the 300m journey. Expected to feature if runs up to that effort.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was a strong winner scoring by half a length in a Grade 5 at this track and clocking a slick 16.71 over the 300m trip. Can measure up on top win two back.
