Healesville Race 8

Eastern Caravan Hire (300+ Rank)

Prize Money: $1,530

WINE LOVER (3) caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a neck win at this track over 350m in 19.66. Ran the fastest time on the program in his latest win. Great chance again. ZIPPI MUSTANG (4) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing second (17.22) at this track. Leading chance. ROTHWELL BONNIE (1) has missed the placings at her last couple but was in the money three back when second (22.78) at Geelong in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Can improve sharply here. MIGHTY MIKADO (2) was well fancied last time on the back of some sparkling form, which included a two-start winning streak, but could only manage sixth (20.61) at this track.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (17.15) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3 length sixth. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by one length in 19.31, beating Cumulate. Last start finished 6th in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on August 12 over 350m at this track behind Aussie Supreme beaten 12 lengths (20.61). Has ability and worth including.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around this track over 350m in 19.66, claiming a Bottom Up - Grade 5 by a neck. The one to beat again.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a head second over 300m this track in 17.22. In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.

Scored by a long neck last time (17.12) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 over 300m at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Has ability and should be around the money.

Was out of placings last time (19.80) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Has four wins and four placings from 11 starts from the draw. Will need some luck to feature.
