Healesville Race 9

Sportsbet Blackbook

Prize Money: $3,360

DARING BANDIT (5) is a capable type and proved too strong last time to win by 1.75 lengths at this track in a handy 16.67 beating Aston Rochelle. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Can make it back-to-back wins. LITTLE MASTER (7) has mixed form recently, finishing sixth (19.57) in a Grade 4/5 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Can improve sharply here. THORKILDSEN (8) last start finished 4th over 460m at Warragul beaten 8 lengths (26.60) behind Elite Intention in a Grade 4/5 on June 9. Can hit the frame with the right run. AMRON MICK (2) should bounce back after an unplaced effort here recently.

Didn't make the placings last time at Shepparton (22.69) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length sixth. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Will need the right run.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warragul (23.31) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 8 length seventh. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Will need some luck to feature.

Was out of placings last time (19.57) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Has two successes and two minors from seven starts from box 7. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
