Healesville Race 5

Gorski Engineering

Stake: $3,159

SPECIAL SIAN (8) missed the frame latest but had been racing well prior to that including a Grade 5 H win two back (22.85) at Warragul. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. PAW VARNER (4) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (23.54) in a Mix 3/4 at Horsham latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Well placed here and should do much better. Something for the Multiples: BOROUGH COOK (5) MISS MELEE (9)

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 19.65 over 350m at this track. Looks a strong winning hope.

Last start finished fourth on May 2 over 410m at Horsham behind Eco Bale, beaten 7 lengths (23.54) in a Mix 3/4. Needs to find a bit more to test these.

Has hit the frame the last couple. Finished third at this track latest but prior to that recorded an outstanding 16.63 over 300m finishing second at this track. Worth including on run two back.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 600m at The Meadows. Better off looking to others.

Safely held last time over 400m at Warragul but was a 0.9 lengths winner two back over 400m at Warragul. This looks too tough.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 2.75 lengths sixth (19.76) over 350m at this track. Is a danger.
