Healesville Race 6

Croydon Homing Pigeon Club

Prize Money: $3,360

BULL DURHAM (8) shapes well for this on his convincing win a few runs back, getting around Warragul over 400m in 22.55 then hitting the frame in both runs since. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. BALLAN BRUMBY (2) was out of the placings last time when fifth at this track (19.34) but scored three back at this track (16.59). Solid record here at the distance winning seven races. Can measure up this time. BANJO ONE STRING (6) recorded a slick time in winning last time. Must include. Something for the Multiples: LEAP OF FAITH (7)

Was out of placings last time (22.54) at Shepparton in a Grade 4/5, finishing fifth and beaten 10 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minors. Looking to others.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a one length second at this track but did record a fast 16.72 over the 300m journey. Has the ability and looks a key chance again.
