Healesville Race 9

Gorski Engineering

Stake: $4,099

EVIL EYE (1) is a talented dog who is a winner of 19 races and filled a minor placing latest when third at this track (16.89). Form here at this distance is sound. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. CATCH SOME RAYS (2) boasts a strong record this course with 20 wins and 17 minors from 56 tries. Hit the frame latest (16.86) when third at this track in a Special conditions race. Suited here and expected to run well. PERIODICAL (5) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 1.75 lengths win at this track in a handy 16.54. Jumping from the pinch draw but goes well over this trip. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in his latest win. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. DARING BANDIT (8) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Comments

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when third (16.89) over 300m at this track. Has clocked a scorching 16.3 here at this trip. Leading player.

In the money last time at this track (16.86) in a Special conditions race, finishing a 6 length third. Goes very well off the draw boasting six wins and three places from 11 starts. Looks well placed and should feature.
