Healesville Race 7

Croydon Homing Pigeon Club (300+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

HAVANA MAGIC (1) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this track and trip which boasts two wins. Missed the frame latest (23.57) when fifth over 400m at Geelong in a Grade 5. Has the ability and should feature. CYCLONE WILL (7) missed the frame last time but prior to that was an effortless Grade 5 winner (19.53) at this track, scoring by 2.75 lengths. Rates a winning chance on best. WHY NOT JULES (2) turned in a plain effort last time when eighth at this track over 350m behind Easy Pie (19.99) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings nine times from 12 attempts. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. SODA DIESEL (8) generally performs well from this box.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 350m at this track. Likely to find this a bit tough.
