Healesville Race 8

Sportsbet Same Race Multi

Stake: $3,629

AUGUSTUS FINCH (2) is a sprinter who excels over the short dashes. Was a strong winner last time (16.55) over 300m at this track in a Free For All. Strike rate this distance strong having won 16 of 28 tries. Winner at his latest appearance in the quickest time on the card. The hardest to beat again. VERSNELLEN (7) boasts a strong record this journey with five wins and four minors from 11 tries. Missed the frame latest (30.10) when fourth over 515m at Sandown in a Free For All. With even luck and a clean start should be around the money. ZOOM BOOM (1) finished a 3 length third last start over 300m at this track in a slick 16.77. Harder here but expected to measure up. FLY HIGH BET (4) hit the frame latest (26.42) when third at Hobart in a Special conditions race. Has already won two times from this draw.

Impressive performance to score by a 0.7 lengths in a Free For All last start at this track, recording a brilliant 16.55 over the 300m journey. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.

Was fourth in a Grade 4/5 two back then given a four months spell after falling last time at Ballarat. Rates a winning chance on best and worth including fresh.

Back from a spell of ten months. Won two starts back when well in the market at Hobart over 461m. Last start finished 3rd over 461m at Hobart beaten 3.5 lengths (26.42) behind Two Girls in a Special conditions race on October 10. Coming out of a very strong form race. Can feature with the right run.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy (19.47), beating Barkly Street. Will find this a bit tougher, good win recently but others preferred.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.87) in a Grade 5, finishing a 14 length sixth. Has three placings from six starts from the draw. Will need the right run.
