Healesville Race 8

Montrose Iga Liquor

Stake: $3,730

DR. REESE (2) boasts strong form at this distance having won two times from three starts. Comes off a (18.93) win last time, scoring by 6 lengths in a Grade 5 over 350m at this track. Looks the one to beat with even luck. SPOT FOX (8) boasts a strong record this journey here with 12 wins and 14 minors from 30 tries. In the money last time at this track (16.79) in a Special conditions race, finishing a 6 length third. Looks a key chance on best figures. CHAVERO (6) ran below his best last time finishing fifth (26.12) over 460m at Warragul in a Grade 4/5. Form at this distance is sound. Has ability and is one of the better chances. SAILAWAY GIN (1) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot in a fast run most recently.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a scorching early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 2.5 lengths third (19.13) over 350m at this track. Has a blistering 19.08 best time at this course and distance. Worth including.

Dominant winner to score by 6 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, recording a scintillating 18.93 for the 350m journey. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy (19.39), beating Super Tone. Will find this a bit tougher, this looks too tough.

Going well prior to missing the frame last start when well-fancied, finishing fifth in 26.12 over 460m at Warragul. Can measure up if he runs to his best.
