Healesville Race 5

Grv Vicbred Series Ht1

Stake: $3,159

DR. ERICA (1) produced a modest effort most recently when seventh at Sale over 435m behind Dr. Asher (24.86) in a Free For All. Form from her last run is proving strong. Worth another chance. SPOT FOX (5) goes very well this course and distance starting 32 times for 12 wins and 15 minors. Placed last time (19.32) at this track in a Special conditions Veteran race, finishing third and beaten 3 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances. KING CHERRY (4) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 8th at Warragul following on from a second place finish (19.85) at this track the start prior. One of the main contenders. RAGING STORM (3) cannot be overlooked following a recent top-three finish. Something for the Multiples: PERFECT ACE (8)

Was out of placings last time (24.86) at Sale in a Free For All, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Makes strong appeal.

Didn't make the placings last time at Sandown (30.41) in a Grade 5, finishing a 13 length sixth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and two places from five starts. Has ability and should be around the money.
