Healesville Race 7

Montrose Iga Liquor

Stake: $3,218

HAIL THE CHIEF (8) boasts a strong record this journey with seven wins and two minors from 14 tries. Comes off a (16.56) win last time, scoring by 4 lengths in a Grade 5 over 300m at this track. Can feature with the right run. BRING YOUR BEST (1) is a talented type and proved too strong last time to win by a neck at Warragul in a handy 22.60 beating Aston Massimo. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. HE'S A ROCK (3) is last start winner who looks one of the chances.

Strong performance tracking the speed and going on to score by a neck in a Grade 5 last start at Warragul, clocking an outstanding 22.60 for the 400m trip. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time.

Comments

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by half a length at Warragul over 400m (22.78) beating Shank's Pony in Grade 5 on December 10. Comes through a good form race. Looks a definite chance.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when second (30.50) over 525m at The Meadows. Boxed awkwardly but is worth plenty of thought.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd on December 8 over 300m at this track behind Blessed Rain beaten 2.5 lengths (16.65) in a Mix 6/7 FIN. Likely to find this too tough.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording five placings in a row, before finishing seventh (19.63) at this track last start. Drawn out wide and needs to find best form to feature.

Eye-catching performance to score by 4 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording an excellent 16.56 over the 300m journey. Hard to top on that run.
