Healesville Race 5

Montrose Iga Liquor (300+Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

SIMPLY FRIENDS (5) has been out of the placings at his last couple but on the winners' heels when placing three back (19.58) in a Grade 7 at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. HIGHWAY TO HELL (1) has been out of the placings the last couple but was a Bottom Up - Maiden winner (17.17) three back at this track. Can find the frame this time. ASTON MACQUARIE (6) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing fourth (23.47) at Geelong last time. Cannot be left out. AVENTIS (8) is worth consideration.

Was out of placings last time when sixth (22.76) at Shepparton in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win. Will jump from box 7 for the first time. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
