Healesville Race 5

Jvdm Green Light On Podcast

Stake: $1,652

IRISH BREW (8) is racing well without winning, recording four minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (19.79) over 350m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. HARD PRESS (7) hit the ground running from the squeeze draw with a fast early split last time, but run over late and missed the frame when a 2.25 lengths fifth (19.62) over 350m at this track. Has the ability to give this a shake. MISS MELEE (3) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (19.54) in a Grade 5 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Key player on best and worth another try. MOBILE LAD (1) was in the money again last time and not beaten far when third (19.56) at this track in a Grade 5.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won by 0.8 lengths at this track (19.75) beating Destini Paladin in a Grade 5 on April 2. Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on her best form.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (19.76) at big odds over 350m at this track. Draws an inside box and is in the mix.

In the money last time at Shepparton (22.57) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5.5 lengths second. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Good effort to win last start by 2 lengths over 300m at this track in a handy (17.00), beating Waltzing Embers. Will find this a bit tougher, in form but prefer to watch this time.

Missed the frame latest (19.62) when fifth over 350m at this track in a Grade 5. Has three successes and four minors from 11 starts from box 7. Looks a leading chance.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors four starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (19.79) at this track over 350m. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
