Healesville Race 11

Rsn Grey Areas Wednesday And Friday

Stake: $3,629

POSH PAWS (3) looks close to another win after finishing third from Box 8 last time (19.19) at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Sure to be about the mark. SKETCHY DEMOS (1) boasts a strong record this journey with seven wins and six minors from 16 tries. In the money last time at Shepparton (22.26) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4 length third. Looks one of the chances. TALK IS CHEAP (8) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this track and trip which boasts six wins. Was out of the placings last time (26.29) at Warragul in a Grade 5 H, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Makes strong appeal on best. SUN IN CUBA (2) is in form and must include among the chances.
