Healesville Race 7

Gorski Engineering

Stake: $3,510

ARCHIE MCIVOR (2) had a tricky draw last time and although midfield in fifth wasn't far away finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner (19.59). Has a good record here at this journey. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from five starts. Has ability and looks hard to stop. AUSSIE MOSS (3) was below best at his last couple, the latest finishing sixth at Horsham, but was among the placings at Ballarat three back. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. POP'S BOY (1) finished third last time (22.50) at Ballarat after winning at his previous two outings. Bold showing expected. STRIKE IT MIKE (5) has definite claims at his first try at this circuit.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 350m. Last start finished 3rd on April 1 over 390m at Ballarat behind Mighty Miss beaten 6 lengths (22.50) in a Restricted WIN H. Had won two on end prior to that last start placing. Can atone.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.59) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.5 lengths fifth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Leading chance.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished last over 410m at Horsham beaten 6 lengths (23.56) behind Hatari in a Grade 5 on April 9. Last couple have been below par. Deserves another chance.

Looks close to another win after his success on March 22 at Sale over 435m. Last start was fourth over 400m in 23.21, behind Snitch Adams. No wins from this draw but has placed four times. In the mix.

Did a good job two starts back at Ballarat to win by 2.75 lengths in 22.19, beating Truth Teller. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 on April 10 over 460m at Warragul behind Paw Kattia beaten 6 lengths (26.68). Prepared to overlook.

Missed the frame latest (17.26) when fourth over 300m at this track in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from six starts. Makes appeal on best.
