Healesville Race 3

Sportsbet Final

Prize Money: $3,360

MCKERCHER (1) made light work of a wide draw last time with a scorching early sectional and clocking 19.14 in a 2 length win at this track over 350m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Expected to measure up again. HE'S FREAKY (8) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive before that in his lightning 22.34 win at Warragul over 400m. Should be in this for a long way. DRAGON TRAIN (7) is a consistent dog overall, in the frame at four of nine starts including two wins but missed the frame latest when fourth (19.51) over 350m at this track. Will go close here with a clear run. TASTE (2) was impressive in a brilliant 19.24 win last start. Each way chance.

Impressive performance to score by a half a length in a Mix 6/7 H last start at this track, recording a dominant 19.24 over the 350m journey. Has the ability and looks a key chance.

Racing well without winning, filling the minors at his last three starts, the latest when third (19.36) at this track. Tricky draw to overcome. Has ability and should run well.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 5 lengths in 16.90, beating Take A Jaguar. Last start finished 4th over 350m at this track beaten 4.5 lengths (19.53) behind Taste in a Mix 6/7 H on March 22. Happy to risk in this.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Mix 6/7 H on March 22 over 350m at this track behind Mckercher beaten 5.5 lengths (19.51). Placed two back at Shepparton. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.
