Healesville Race 3 - Healesville Bowling Club
ASTON MERRICK (8) was below best at his last start when 6th at this track following a third place finish (22.57) at Ballarat two back. Should bounce back. SONG BY FERNANDO (6) is worth forgiving last start after finishing sixth (17.13) in a T3 RSTW at this track over 300m. Has the ability to give this a shake. EXTREME DASH (4) turned in a fair 5th placed finish last time at this track over 300m (17.23). Has ability and is one of the better chances. TAKE A PHOENIX (1) was out of the money here last time out but can bounce back.

Drawn the inside alley. At the last outing finished 5th in a T3 Grade 7 on February 27 over 300m at this track behind Vintage Velvet beaten 9 lengths (17.59). Major threat on best form.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 300m at this track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Modest effort last time out when fourth over 300m at this track. Others make more appeal.

Good effort last time when second (23.04) over 390m at Shepparton. Jumps from the outside. Looks to have the job ahead.
