Healesville Race 5 - JASON McKEOWN PHOTOGRAPHY

HOT SPOT (3) was a winner (19.44) at this track two back but out of the placings last time when 6th at Shepparton. Has a strong record here at this journey including three wins. Looks the one to beat on her best form. TROPIC MAN (7) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten a long neck, (19.68) at this track. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Expected to be in the finish again. KING PLUM (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing seventh (26.13) in a Grade 5 at Ballarat. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Should be about the money. WILD VENUS (6) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a long neck second (19.68) over 350m at this track. Although unsuccessful last time still ran one of the quickest times on the card. Stick with him.

Good effort to win last start by a neck over 300m at this track in a handy (17.28), beating Zippi Mustang. Will find this a bit tougher, this will test.
