Healesville Race 8

Gorski Engineering

Prize Money: $3,360

LADY GUNAI (1) finished second last start over 350m at this track but was game in defeat in a respectable 19.23. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time. CATCH SOME RAYS (6) goes very well here starting 48 times for 19 wins and 10 minors. Missed the frame latest (19.26) when fourth over 350m at this track in a Free For All. Suited here and expected to run well. ESPECIAL KAI (3) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by a neck at this track in a handy 19.22 beating LADY GUNAI. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. One of the key runners again. DARING BANDIT (4) must be respected at her pet distance.

Good effort to win last start by 3.5 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy (19.30), beating Sophie Banjo. Winner last time and looks well placed again. Worth following up.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 350m in 19.45. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 350m at this track at Free For All level. Not keen this time.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 0.8 lengths fourth (19.26) over 350m at this track. Thereabouts of late and rates highly this line-up. Expected to be in the finish.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by a neck in 16.98, beating Rolling Express. Last start finished 4th over 350m at this track beaten 3.5 lengths (19.75) behind Idyllic James in a Grade 4/5 on June 28. Would be better placed in something easier.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy (19.63), beating Bula. Solid chance with even luck.
