Healesville Race 8

The Shed At Healesville Greys

Prize Money: $1,530

JAZZ HANDS (7) latest effort finished 6th in a Grade 5 on October 9 over 350m at this track behind Summer Hail beaten 4 lengths (19.86). Can find winning form. FLYING ADLER (1) jumped from a middle draw last time and could manage only fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths (26.09) at Shepparton. Strong form has emerged from his last run. One of the better chances. GOOF BALL (2) was never in contention last time at this track, but prior to that won by 1.1 lengths at Bendigo (24.71) beating Craig Keeping in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on July 22. Leading chance. FLEX FACTOR (8) can measure up with the right run.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 350m in 20.06. Followed that up with a minor placing over 300m at this track at Grade 5 a week ago. Likely to find this too tough.

Last start finished 6th on October 9 over 350m at this track behind Summer Hail beaten 4 lengths (19.86) in a Grade 5. Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
