Healesville Race 11

Central Scaffolds

Prize Money: $2,925

MISS SOOKY (2) had won two in a row before finishing fourth (28.87) last time at Bendigo. Solid record here winning three races. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Worth another chance. STORM COMING (6) latest effort finished 4th on September 20 over 350m at this track behind Big Player beaten 6 lengths (19.59) in a Grade 5. Suited here and expected to run well. BEAUTY BEAST (4) wasn't far away at the finish when 4th and beaten only 5 lengths (19.71) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning seven races. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. BORROLOOLA BOY (8) can sneak into the finish while fresh.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.69) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths sixth. Box stats strong with two wins and two placings from four starts. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Comments

Won two starts back when well in the market at Warragul over 460m. Last start finished 4th in a Rank Limit - Grade 5 on September 12 over 500m at Bendigo behind Kris Bar Imogen beaten 6 lengths (28.87). Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Had been in consistent form with four minors on end before missing the frame last start when seventh (17.07) at this track. Drawn a inside box but looks safely held.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (16.98) over 300m at this track. Boxed awkwardly and will need a little luck to feature.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 390m at Ballarat. This looks too tough.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fifth over 300m this track in 17.00. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
