Healesville Race 8

Gorski Engineering (300+ Rank)

Stake: $1,836

BACK TALK (3) Competitive effort when 3rd last start at Shepparton and showing improvement in recent outings. Will be dropping in distance. Definite claims. CANYA IGNITE (7) Ran 4th last run at Shepparton. Should improve from the last run. Must respect in this event. MR. BLUEY LEE (4) Mediocre performance when 7th last time at Warragul. Goes close. SHOW BOAT JOHNNY (1) Just average when 7th last time around here but drawn well. Finishes off strongly. Should be very competitive and is a genuine threat.

At $7.00 ordinary performance when 7th last time here but can save some energy from the box. Can go through the gears. Can lift.
