Healesville Race 12

Jason Mckeown Photography

Stake: $1,652

DAKODA SUNSET (8) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, (17.01) at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. WHY NOT EMILY (4) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (17.10) at this track behind Sidewinder in a Grade 5. Winning chance. GARY KNEW IT (7) was safely held last time out, finishing eighth at Ballarat over 390m behind Collinda Pearl (23.26) in a Grade 5. Solid formlines coming through his last run. Likely to be about the mark. SPIRIT OF PANAMA (1) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Comments

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 2.75 lengths fifth (17.16) over 300m at this track. Major threat on best form.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (17.18) at big odds over 300m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate but capable of a better result.

Latest effort finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on May 6 over 300m at this track behind Black Friday beaten 0.8 lengths (17.01). In the money last time and looks well placed to go one better.
