Healesville Race 4 - Jvdm Green Light On Podcast

NEED YOU NOW (7) clocked a new course and distance PB last time, finishing a 6 length third behind For The Plot in 19.58. In form and can measure up again. BLAME ESMERALDA (1) was sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 6 length third (19.64) over 350m at this track. The form out of her last race has been franked. Can feature again. KARACHI (4) is better than last start when seventh (20.08) in a Grade 5 at this track over 350m. Comes through a solid form race last start. One of the main contenders. KING LITTERBUG (5) surprised many when in the placings last start - deserves some thought.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish third (19.64) at this track over 350m. The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.
