Healesville Race 5

Pitstop Mower Repairs

Stake: $3,247

DR. ZEPHER (8) failed to feature last start at Sale, but prior to that won comfortably by 7 lengths at Sale (24.25) beating Bit Cool in a SE on February 23. Has a very good strike-rate from this draw, with two wins from four starts. Should bounce back. PATH TO NIRVANA (1) impressed last time when produced a handy 19.38 to finish third behind Dr. Reese in a new PB this course and distance. Expected to feature again. LETHAL TRIX (7) already a winner from this draw. Something for the Multiples: DR. ZEPHER (8) AUSSIE SAVANNAH (3)

Comments

Finished in the minors last time in a Grade 5 at this track when a 6 length third but did run a slick 19.38 over the 350m trip. Can measure up with a repeat of that effort.

Ran good time (16.84) winning a Grade 5 two back at this track but last start failed to finish and given a three-and-a-half months break. Rates a winning chance on best and worth including fresh.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Sale over 435m. Last start finished 5th on February 28 over 435m at Sale behind Dr. Yannick beaten 4.5 lengths (24.48) in a Free For All. Looks a strong winning hope.
