Healesville Race 4

Straight Racing....Great Racing

Prize Money: $2,925

MAJOR PHANTOM (1) missed the frame latest when seventh at this track (16.99) but scored five back at this track (16.81). Form here at the trip sound including 11 wins. Form from his last run is proving strong. Should be very hard to beat this time. TOMMY'S HITMAN (4) hit the ground running from out wide with a scorching early sectional but run over late and missed the frame when a 3.5 lengths fourth (19.47) over 350m at this track. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Has the ability to give this a shake. BRUTAL POWER (2) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 2 lengths (17.10) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning three races. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and four minor placings to his credit. Cannot be taken lightly. FIRE FEATHER (7) is a last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Was out of placings last time (17.10) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 2 lengths. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and four places from six starts. Makes strong appeal.

Showed blistering pace early and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fourth over 350m this track in 19.47. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.
