Healesville Race 5

Outer East Football Netball Comp

Prize Money: $1,530

BE A SHADOW (1) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish third, beaten 1.1 lengths, (17.26) at this track. Must come into calculations. OPALINA (6) last start finished 3rd on October 2 over 300m at this track behind Mr. Chives beaten 3.5 lengths (17.29) in a Grade 5. With even luck and a clean start can sneak into the finish. HYLAND AZULA (2) turned in a solid run last start over 300m at this track finishing 4th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (17.11). Great chance to atone. THAI BUTTERFLY (8) has a solid strike rate from this box.

In the money last time at Warragul (23.40) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2 length third. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and two minors. Suited here and expected to run well.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (22.75) over 390m at Shepparton. Tough draw to overcome and will need the right run to feature.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (19.99) over 350m at this track. Can't recommend against this lot.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by half a length at Traralgon (20.47) beating Cawdor in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on September 17. Failed to threaten last start and looks tested again.

Comments

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 2.25 lengths win at this track over 350m in 19.88. Can measure up again with the right run.
