Healesville Race 5

Sportsbet Feed (1-3 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,530

LILY MARLEEN (5) has missed the placings at her last couple but was in the money three back when third (23.38) at Warragul in a Grade 5. This looks easier and expected to bounce back. JACKY SON (4) turned in a solid run last start over 350m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 2 lengths (20.00). Returns to favourable track. Won at his only start from this draw. Likely to be thereabouts. CAVED IN (1) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at Ballarat over 390m behind Ivory Quill (22.93) in a T3 Grade 7. Was in the money prior to that. Worth another chance. ASTON FRANCESCA (3) looks an each-way chance.
