Healesville Race 4

Croydon Homing Pigeon Club (300+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

LEONESSA (2) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at Shepparton over 390m (22.75). The form out of her last race has been franked. Can bounce back. CATHY'S DREAM (1) is racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (19.91) over 350m at this track. The form out of his last race has been franked. Winning chance. ATHENIAN GODDESS (6) turned in a plain effort last time when seventh at Warragul over 400m behind Bon Star (23.40) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. TAILS OF JONNY (7) missed the top-three despite solid backing last time but should feature.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (19.91) at this track over 350m. Deserves a win and gets his chance.

Latest effort finished 5th in a Grade 5 on May 29 over 390m at Shepparton behind Hartland Duke beaten 5 lengths (22.75). Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished last in a Grade 5 on June 17 over 400m at Warragul behind Bon Star beaten 8 lengths (23.40). Placed two back at Warragul. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

Was out of the placings at final run of last campaign, finishing sixth (17.57) at this track before going for a four-and-a-half months spell. Yet to win but has placed from two first-up runs. Looks a strong place chance.
