Healesville Race 4 - Gap Veterans
BETTER BANJO (8) boasts a consistent overall record including 31 wins from 92 starts, but missed the frame latest when sixth (22.46) over 390m at Ballarat. Solid record here winning three races. Drawn wide but with a clean break will be tough to beat again. CANYA NITRATE (5) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (30.59) from Box 8 at Angle Park. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Leading player again. AUSSIE SUPREME (2) was out of the placings last time when seventh at this track (16.88) but scored five back at Warragul (22.70). Has a good record here at this journey. Goes well out of this box with a win and five minor placings. Can measure up this time. FIDDLES (6) was prominent throughout when successful last start. That form reads well.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split and ran away with a neck win at this track over 350m in 19.45. Holds top-three claims.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (16.88) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 3.5 lengths seventh. Has one success and five minors from 11 starts from box 2. Looks well placed and should feature.

Did a good job two starts back at Shepparton to win by a long neck in 22.11, beating How Awesome. Last start finished 5th on March 20 over 425m at Bendigo behind Zelda Braga beaten 5.5 lengths (24.43) in a Grade 5. This looks too tough.

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy (19.23), beating Dusty Danae. Must be a winning chance again.

Has been in the money the last two runs. Finished third at this track in 19.39 last time but the start prior recorded a convincing 19.18 over 350m when just missed, at this track. Bold showing expected but prefer each way again.

Missed the frame latest (22.46) when sixth over 390m at Ballarat in a Mix 3/4. Goes very well off the draw boasting five wins and six places from 12 starts. Key chance and should go close.
