Healesville Race 8

The Shed At Healesville Greys

Stake: $1,652

FIRING CHIEF (1) finds it hard to break through. Finished second (19.60) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Solid record here at the distance winning four races. Leading chance again. MIDNIGHT IN SALE (5) boasts strong form at this distance having won three times from six starts. Recorded a 4 length win (19.54) in a Mix 6/7 last time at this track. Looks a key chance on best figures. IS HE HAPPY (2) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish 0.8 lengths away in second (19.68) behind Caped Crusader at this track. Bold showing expected. AUSSIE SAVANNAH (8) scored in impressive time last start. Must include.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th on May 30 over 350m at this track behind Blame Spencer beaten 4.5 lengths (20.14) in a Grade 5. Placed two back at this track. Has ability and looks a winning hope.
