Healesville Race 3

Gorski Engineering

Prize Money: $1,530

MAJOR ILLUSION (2) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the money last time though when third (25.94) at Ballarat. Can find winning form. BE COURAGEOUS (5) missed the frame and safely held latest finishing 6th at this track following on from a win (17.17) there the start prior. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Bold showing expected. PARIS MASH (1) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (17.42) at this track behind Be Lively in a T3 Grade 6. Expected to be in the finish again. LAVERS GINNY (6) can measure up with the right run.

Ran a better race when third behind Be Lively at this track last start over 300m (17.42). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Latest effort finished 3rd in a T3 Grade 6 on May 11 over 450m at Ballarat behind Blue Trombone beaten 8 lengths (25.94). Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Showing promise and was a winner three back. Last start missed the frame when a 15 length seventh (29.82) at Sale. Needs to find best and prepared to watch this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.45) in a T3 RSTW, finishing a 4 length sixth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Makes strong appeal.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 2 length second (17.33) over 300m at this track and making it two placings on end. Has claims if at her best.

Didn't make the placings last time at Geelong (23.84) in a T3 Grade 6, finishing a 12 length eighth. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks one of the chances.

Could only manage fourth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (17.20) over 300m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate and will need the right run to feature.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
