Healesville Race 8

Eastern Caravan Hire

Prize Money: $1,530

VICE LIKE GRIP (2) claimed an on-pace win two back then gave a start but got home into the frame when third at Warragul (23.14). Top chance in this line up. DAINTREE DAZZLER (6) was a last-start winner from the rails at this track over 300m (17.05), scoring by 1.75 lengths. Hard to beat again here. GAME OF PHONES (1) had been racing well with a Grade 5 win three back then placed next time before missing the frame latest at Shepparton. Well placed here and can atone this time. BEAUTY BEAST (8) is worth including.

Missed the frame last start when fifth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Makes plenty of appeal on best and can easily atone here.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by a neck at this track (19.98) beating I'm Easy in a Grade 5 on June 26. Will not find this easy. Not keen.

Comments

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when second (19.74) over 350m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate but is worth plenty of thought.
