Healesville Race 4 - Montrose IGA Liquor (1-2 Wins)
MCCREERY (5) flew the lids off the inside with a slick early split but ran over at the finish when a narrow fourth (19.69) over 350m at this track. Should bounce back. DANCING BLUE (1) turned in a moderate performance last time when seventh at Traralgon over 425m behind Cheer Down (25.10) in a Bottom Up - Restricted Win. Leading chance. SHE REACTS (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (39.00) in a Special conditions race at Ballarat. Should be about the mark. CHERRY PIE (7) is a last-start placegetter at big odds who will have admirers.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (19.69) at this track over 350m. Looks a strong winning hope.

Dropping back in distance from his last start when seventh over 450m at Ballarat. Has struggled in the past over this trip. Happy enough to avoid.
