Healesville Race 8

Sportsbet Emerald Series Consolation

Prize Money: $7,325

PAW SAKAKIBURA (1) recorded a smart win over 300m at this track in a dazzling 16.44 last start. In winning form and can measure up again. KNEE DEEP (4) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 1.3 lengths at this track in a handy 16.38 beating RATTLIN' BONES. Can measure up again. RATTLIN' BONES (2) shapes well for this after finishing second last start over 300m at this track but in a scintillating 16.46 behind KNEE DEEP. Should be in this for a long way. WAXING (3) can sneak into the finish again.

Found the going tougher last start when second over 300m at this track. That followed a win two back in 16.41 beating Waxing over 300m at this track. Needs further improvement to feature.

Didn't make the placings last time at Ballarat (22.13) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fourth. Super consistent from the draw with a win and three places from four starts. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.
