Healesville Race 5

Prize Money: $2,925

THORKILDSEN (3) resumed in a Grade 4/5 at Sale and finished fifth over 435m (24.94). Form at the trip sound including three wins. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Has ability and is a key runner. BE A SHADOW (8) was strongly supported last start when a short priced favourite and duly saluted winning by 4.5 lengths at Sale in a handy 24.61. Draws out wide but has the ability and in winning form. Recorded the quickest time on the card last start. Should be in this for a long way. PAW WALDO (4) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only 1.3 lengths from Daring Bandit in second (19.49) at this track. The form out of last race has been strong. Expected to feature. KARACHI (2) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - solid claims again.

Won two starts back at Warragul over 400m when well in the market then went for a spell of six-and-a-half weeks. Returned last start finished 5th on April 8 over 435m at Sale behind Dr. Erica beaten 5.5 lengths (24.94) in a Grade 4/5. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 410m at Horsham in a handy (23.66), beating Juneau Sangria. Will find this a bit tougher, hard to have this time.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Sale over 435m in 24.61 last start, beating Summer Hail. Consistent performer from this box. Top chance on best form.
