Healesville Race 7

Grv Vicbred Series Ht3

Stake: $3,159

SMART TALK (4) posted a swift 19.33 when placed over 350m at this track last start in a Grade 5. In the money latest and can measure up here. CHIP AND TAIL (7) turned in a plain run last time when fifth at this track over 350m behind Wario (19.59) in a Special conditions Veteran race. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Can figure in the finish. RAPIDFIRE MORRIS (5) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when seventh at Bendigo over 500m behind Paw Xantippe (28.69) in a Grade 4/5. Was in the money the start prior. Deserves plenty of respect. SODA HELEN (3) is another with top-three prospects.

Strong performance to score by a nose in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a hot 16.57 for the 300m trip. In form and worth thought again.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by half a length in 19.83, beating Black Friday. Last start finished 7th on May 23 over 350m at this track behind Bear Lee Bandit beaten 4 lengths (19.86) in a Grade 5. Capable of taking this out.

Did a good job two starts back at Warragul to win by a nose in 22.75, beating Celtic Bouy. Last start finished 5th in a Special conditions Veteran race on May 20 over 400m at Warragul behind Here Comes Artie beaten 14 lengths (23.30). Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 350m at this track clocking 19.33. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Latest effort finished 5th on May 25 over 350m at this track behind Wario beaten 6 lengths (19.59) in a Special conditions Veteran race. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Looks a major player.
