Healesville Race 2

Gap Veterans (300+Rank)

Prize Money: $2,925

CRUSH YOUR RUSH (8) ran good time (16.86) when placing two back at this track but missed the frame latest in a Grade 5 at Bendigo. Likely to improve sharply this time. CHOJI AKIMICHI (6) has been out of the placings at his last couple but on the winners' heels when placing three back (19.59) in a Grade 5 at this track. Rates a winning chance on best. DELATITE BEAST (4) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing seventh (22.83) at Shepparton in a Grade 5 H. Key player on best and worth another try. HOT SPOT (2) should be thereabouts after narrowly missing most recently.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 350m at this track. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 350m at this track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (22.30) at big odds over 390m at Shepparton. Tough draw to overcome but in the mix on his best form.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.69) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5 length seventh. Goes very well from the draw boasting three places from six starts. Makes strong appeal.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (24.50) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.5 lengths seventh. Has two successes and seven minors from 13 starts from box 8. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
