Healesville Race 12

Healesville Physio & Sports Medicine

Stake: $3,159

CHEMICAL EROSION (1) looks an each-way chance. PEACHES (8) won by 1.75 lengths last start when getting around Shepparton 390m in a brilliant 22.08. Has the ability and looks a key chance. CAPED CRUSADER (7) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and three minors from 12 tries. Recorded a 3 length win (16.73) in a Grade 5 last time at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. MISS CHARMED (6) has a strong record this trip with three wins and two placings from seven starts. Below best last time at this track (20.26) in a Restricted WIN, finishing a 10 length sixth. Can feature in the finish.

Goes well at this track and trip. Latest effort finished 6th on March 16 over 300m at this track behind Uncle Dave beaten 4 lengths (17.06) in a Grade 4/5. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 350m in 19.55. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when seventh over 300m at this track at Grade 5 level. Not keen this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (16.98) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4 length fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a fast early split, paving the way for a 1.75 lengths win at Shepparton over 390m in 22.08. In line for a hat-trick. Must include.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
