Healesville Racecourse

SPIRIT MAKER strong in winning last start at Balnarring, major contender. WAR OF WISDOM resumes from a spell of 44 weeks. Comes to hand quickly and won at Healesville when last first-up, place claims. GONE AHEAD has placed in two attempts this campaign but disappointed when placing as favourite last start at Healesville and should race on the speed, needs the breaks. THREE PENNY OPERA resumes after a spell of 39 weeks and has had success trialling, place hope.

WINDY WHEELS on a seven day back-up and finished fourth last start at Yea, well placed. PORTUGUESE PARROT only just missed last start, finishing a neck back from the winner at Balnarring and likely to race on the speed, the real danger in the race. MY NAME IS MONTY first start and untrialled, each-way claims. FIRST VENTURE ran 11 lengths back from the winner last start at Seymour and likely to race off the speed, not without each-way claims.

MARCO SPADA strong finishing effort to win last start at Mansfield when fresh and rates highly with Grant Seccombe aboard, perfectly placed. STARLIGHT GLOW back from 26 week spell and rates well on a softer track, in with a chance. SHAHIN strong finishing effort to win last start at Balnarring and Sophie Clayfield a bonus, could threaten. PINDARI POINT short back-up of seven days and won once this prep at Alexandra three runs back, not the worst.
