Healesville Race 5

Jason Mckeown Photography

Prize Money: $1,530

DIM SIM NODDY (1) found trouble in the run at this course and distance last time and failed to finish. Tough to beat on best and worth another try. ROLLING EXPRESS (7) produced a moderate run last time when fifth at Geelong over 400m behind Pretty Panama (23.81) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Expected to give a good account. BIT OF ROMANCE (2) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at Traralgon over 425m behind Jumbuk Funi (25.67) in a Grade 5. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Great chance to atone. FOLLOW THE SUN (3) was out of the money at this circuit last start but can turn the form around.

Last start finished last in a Grade 5 on August 14 over 425m at Traralgon behind Jumbuk Funi beaten 17 lengths (25.67). Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Returns from a three months spell after being tipped out on the back of a eighth (20.32) over 350m at this track. Yet to win but has placed from two first-up runs. Others rate better this time.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished 6th on August 14 over 350m at this track behind Walter Walrus beaten 5.5 lengths (19.88) in a Grade 5. Hard to tip with any confidence.
