Healesville Race 7 - Montrose Iga Liquor
BLAME ESMERALDA (5) filled the minor money two on end before breaking through for a deserved win last time, scoring at this track over 350m (19.89). Looks to have an edge on most of these. CATHY'S DREAM (2) finds it hard to win but looks close to breaking through. Has hit the frame at his last three runs, the latest finishing third (19.82) at this track. Well placed and gets his chance. SODA TURKEY (1) had been racing in honest fashion recording two placings in a row before finishing seventh (20.07) at this track latest. Form here sound including four wins. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from five starts. Has ability and is one of the better chances. DIM SIM RIXI (7) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 2.75 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy 19.89, beating Cathy's Dream. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
