Healesville Race 12

The Shed At Healesville Greys

Prize Money: $2,925

ASTON ROCHELLE (1) is drawn well on the inside. Last start finished 7th over 300m at this track beaten 5 lengths (17.18) behind Be Gritty in a Grade 5 on July 17. Looks a leading chance and expected to go close. FRENZY (3) was out of placings last time (31.83) at The Meadows in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 23 lengths. Has already won two times from this draw. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts. SUN IN CUBA (7) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 1.5 lengths (19.66) at this track. The form from her last run stacks up well. A forward showing wouldn't surprise. MAJOR ILLUSION (2) is worth including.

Missed the frame last start when sixth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Needs to find best and prepared to watch this time.

Nearing another win after her success on April 19 at this track over 350m. Last start was fourth over 350m in 19.66, behind Harvington. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Got back last start and could only manage third but before that won by a neck at Warragul (26.34) beating Mighty Heighty in a Grade 5 on July 9. Should be around the mark.
