Healesville Race 3

Vale Margaret Thorneycroft

Prize Money: $2,925

ELECTRA OPAL (8) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing second behind Crackerjack Les (16.84) in a Grade 5. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Top prospect. BULL DURHAM (2) turned in a plain effort last time when sixth at Warragul over 400m behind Dr. Will (23.24) in a Free For All. Scored at his previous run. The form out of his last race has been franked. Shapes as one to consider. ONE KNEE NONI (1) recorded a 4 length third in a Grade 5 last time 17.03 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Rates a leading chance. TARYN'S BLUE (5) is a course and distance winner who cannot be left out.

Last start finished 3rd over 300m at this track beaten 4 lengths (17.03) behind Taryn's Blue in a Grade 5 on May 15. Has been around the mark at her last couple and should make her presence felt.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warragul (23.24) in a Free For All, finishing a 10 length sixth. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Looks suited and should go close.

Impressive performance to post a big 3.5 lengths victory in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording a respectable 16.76 over the 300m journey. Expecting another bold showing.

Has finished fourth at his last couple of starts, most recently at this track over 350m. Look for improvement. Not out of it.
