Healesville Race 11

Rsn Grey Areas - Wednesday & Friday

Stake: $3,218

CATCH SOME RAYS (2) finished eighth last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 350m at this track, taking a Grade 5 in a dominant 19.19. Can measure up again if runs up to recent best times. SODA HELEN (5) hit the ground running from an outside draw with a fast early split, holding on for a minor placing when third and beaten 1.75 lengths at Warragul over 460m in 26.29. The form out of her last race has been franked. Expected to be in this for a long way. RAPIDFIRE SERENA (8) was an all the way winner two back but last start drifted back and wound up strongly to finish a 0.7 lengths third at Geelong (22.80). Expected to be in this for a long way. FLYING PIE (6) is a last-start placegetter worth considering.

Has finished sixth at the last two runs, both at Sandown, the latest when beaten 9 lengths behind Perfect Soul over 515m. Likely to struggle this time.

Missed the frame latest (19.55) when eighth over 350m at this track in a Special conditions H. Yet to miss the placings in five runs from this box, including three wins. Looks suited and should go close.

Did a good job two starts back at Warragul to win by 1.5 lengths in 22.94, beating Brenden. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 on November 24 over 300m at this track behind Taryn's Blue beaten 5.5 lengths (17.29). Looks tested in this company.

Good effort to win last start by 3.5 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy (19.39), beating Rapidfire Forest. Will find this a bit tougher, good win last start but looks tested in this difficult assignment.

Flew the lids with a quick early split but had to settle for the minor money when third (26.29) over 460m at Warragul. Has won four races from this box. Expected to feature.
