Healesville Race 4

Db Construction Veterans (250+Rank)

Stake: $3,656

LITTLE MASTER (5) Finished on top last time at this venue. Key player. LETHAL AVENGER (6) Appeared lacklustre when 6th last start at Sale. Should improve from the last run but will be down in distance. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . CHOJI AKIMICHI (7) Tidy effort when 2nd last time here. Definite claims. PATH TO NIRVANA (1) Narrowly denied a win last start here and gets the perfect box. Shows very good finishing speed. Looks a great place bet.

Started at $6.50 and struggled when 6th last start at Sale. Should improve from the last run but dropping back to a shorter trip. Should progress and will be close.
