Healesville Race 8 - Spinners Souvlaki Bar And Grill
BLAME ESMERALDA (1) placed two runs ago then again in the money last time when second (19.50) at this track in a Bottom Up - Grade 5. Better than latest and can atone here. CATHY'S DREAM (2) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Bonded (19.75) in a Grade 5. Must be included in calculations. LEAP OF FAITH (7) showed strong pace early from the inside rail and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fourth over 350m this track in 19.78. Key player if finds best. OUR MATE BEAR (8) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.
