Healesville Race 2

Montrose IGA Liquor (1-2 Wins)

Prize Money: $1,530

ROYCE VAN WINKLE (8) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 350m (19.66). Should bounce back. CAN SHE YAP (3) was quickly into stride and burnt early from out wide where she gave a sight, finishing second (22.83) and beaten 1.75 lengths over 390m at Ballarat. Can measure up. MERRY MYRTLE (1) turned in a plain run last time when sixth at Traralgon over 350m behind Tommy The Frog (20.91) in a Mix 6/7. Was in the money prior to that. In the mix. NANDO BLAST (2) finished in the placings last start and deserves some thought.

Missed the frame latest (20.91) when sixth over 350m at Traralgon in a Mix 6/7. Has never missed the placings from three starts off this box. Key chance and should go close.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 22.83 over 390m at Ballarat. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 300m. Last start finished last on August 16 over 350m at this track behind Gunai Rambo beaten 1.3 lengths (19.66) in a Mix 6/7. Has been around the mark at his last couple and should make his presence felt.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
