Healesville Race 4 - Sportsbet Feed Veterans (275+Rank)
SAILPLANE (1) has some solid form under his belt and proved too classy last time to win by 0.8 lengths at this track in a handy 16.97 beating HAPPY BUDDHA. Has hit winning form and can go on with it. HAPPY BUDDHA (7) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish a neck away in second (16.97) behind Sailaway Gin at this track. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and five minor placings to his credit. Overdue and gets his chance. THICK AS THIEVES (8) turned in a fair run last time from the squeeze finishing fifth by 3.5 lengths (16.87). Form here at this distance is sound. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. ONE KNEE NONI (2) is in form and must include among the chances.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (16.97) over 300m at this track. Racing well and deserves a win.
