Healesville Race 9 - Sportsbet Ht1
HE'S FREAKY (3) got off the mark with his maiden victory last time at Warragul over 400m (22.34). Comes through a solid form race last start. Looks the one to beat. DRAGON TRAIN (1) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (22.48) in a Mix 6/7 at Shepparton. The form out of last run is most impressive. Expected to feature again. MCKERCHER (8) flew the lids from out wide with a slick early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fifth (19.58) over 350m at this track. Worth following up. RUNWAY BLUE (2) has strong claims after a close top-three finish last time out.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 3rd over 390m at Shepparton beaten 5.5 lengths (22.48) behind Rupee Star in a Mix 6/7 on February 13. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Jumped well at this track two runs back then again settled forward and finished second at Warragul last start over 400m from this same draw. Going well and can bounce back to winning form.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by 6 lengths (22.34) over 400m at Warragul. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Disappointed last time but just missed the placings two back over 350m at this track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Finished third at big odds last time (17.17) over 300m at this track. Squeeze draw to overcome. Prefer others.

Lines up from box 6 for the first time after finishing a 4.5 lengths fifth at this track (19.60) in a R/A FIN. Looks one of the chances.
