Healesville Race 6

Pitstop Mower Repairs

Stake: $3,218

SKETCHY DEMOS (4) tends to take a while to wind up, missing the placings two back but running on to last time finishing third (22.14) in a Grade 4/5 at Ballarat. Deserves serious consideration. FLAMING FOX (3) stuck on well last time to finish 0.6 lengths back in second (19.12) at this track in a Grade 5 over 350m. Form from his last run is proving strong. Bold showing expected. RUXTON FLAME (1) is having his first look at this circuit. Comes here after a last start 4th and beaten 13 lengths (30.89) at The Meadows. Leading chance. FIBULARIS (8) was strongly fancied last time but finished second (16.83), beaten 1.2 lengths. Overdue and is among the main hopes.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.89) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 13 length fourth. Has two successes and four minors from eight starts from box 1. Has ability and should feature.

Rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (19.34) at this track over 350m. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 0.6 lengths second but did record an outstanding 19.12 over the 350m journey. Looms as the one to beat this time.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 2.25 lengths third over 390m at Ballarat, clocking 22.14. Speedy conveyance who looks hard to beat.

Has hit the frame at his last four runs, the latest finishing second in 16.83 at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. One of the better hopes.

Comments

Well backed by punters and didn't complete the course last start. Reasonable effort the start before when third over 350m at this track. Not suited by wide draw and better off looking to others.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
