Healesville Race 9

Jason Mckeown Photography

Stake: $3,830

MILE A MINUTE (6) was strongly fancied latest and proved too good with a 2.25 lengths win at this track in a handy 18.86. Awkwardly drawn but goes well at this distance. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minor placings. One of the key runners again. NAMBROK NICK (1) is a sprinter who excels over the short dashes. Was too tough when scoring last time over 350m at this track in a Grade 5 (18.87). Has a strong record here at this journey including five wins. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Must be included in calculations. CHAVERO (2) is a well performed sprinter ideally suited at the shorter trips. Kept coming to finish fourth over 350m at this track (19.32) latest in a Free For All. Has a good record here at this journey including eight wins. Expected to give a good account. CATCH SOME RAYS (4) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Won again in another strong performance after running them ragged to make it two on the trot at this track over 350m (18.87). Key chance and should go close again.

Comments

Could manage only fourth last time but turned heads the start prior when he was an eye-catching winner after leading throughout, scoring by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 4/5 at Warragul and clocking a fast 25.93 over the 460m trip. Expected to push the clock again here.

Has been in the money at last three starts, the latest when third (19.43) at this track. Has a low draw. Will need plenty of luck.

Comments

Missed the frame last time but the start prior was a strong winner scoring by 1.2 lengths in a Free For All at this track and clocking a hot 19.16 for the 350m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Good effort to win last start by a nose over 350m at this track in a handy (19.65), beating Chester Campbell. Will find this a bit tougher, this looks too tough.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 0.8 lengths in 19.16, beating Winking Willie. Last start finished 4th over 350m at this track beaten 2.25 lengths (19.32) behind Catch Some Rays in a Free For All on October 12. Well performed from this box. In the mix.
