Healesville Race 3

National Greyhound Adoption Month

Prize Money: $1,530

ASTON HONCHO (2) doesn't win out of turn. Finished in the minors latest when second (17.09) at this track and may be close to breaking through. Solid record here winning two races. One of the leading chances. HEYFIELD HONEY (7) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when fifth at this track over 350m behind Peaky Avenger (19.93) in a T3 RSTW. Placed at her previous run. Should be about the mark. SHERRY CHERRY (5) won comfortably last time scoring by 5.5 lengths at Mt Gambier after jumping from box 4 (17.71). Will need some luck early after drawing a tricky box here. One of the leading chances again. LISBURN (1) deserves plenty of thought over this trip.

Drawn the inside. At the last outing finished 5th in a Grade 6 on April 19 over 410m at Horsham behind Paw Munich beaten 9 lengths (24.17). Major threat on best form.

Latest effort finished 2nd over 300m at this track beaten 0.8 lengths (17.09) behind Socks And Slides in a T3 Grade 6 on April 18. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Strong performance to win by 5.5 lengths at Mt Gambier over 305m (17.71) beating Flying Madeline in TG1-4W on April 17. Can make it two on the bounce.

Last start finished 5th in a T3 RSTW on April 4 over 350m at this track behind Peaky Avenger beaten 6 lengths (19.93). Recorded two placings in a row prior to the latest effort. Worth another chance.
