Healesville Race 5 - Montrose IGA Liquor
AUSSIE SAVANNAH (1) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish 3.5 lengths back in second (23.04) at Geelong in a Grade 5 over 400m. Likely to feature again. BLAME ESMERALDA (2) had been racing well prior to her last start fifth at this track following a Grade 5 win three back with a third placing. Can turn it around this time. KING CHERRY (4) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Wild Sal (19.90) in a Grade 5. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Hard to beat again. LIKE DYNAMITE (7) will have admirers after surprising many with a placing last time out.

Latest effort finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on June 9 over 400m at Geelong behind Undershot Valma beaten 3.5 lengths (23.04). Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fifth (19.86) at this track over 350m. Fought on last time. Has the ability and right in the mix.

Was out of the placings last time at Ballarat but prior to that had been racing consistently, notching three minors in a row. Tough draw to overcome and looks tested this line up.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished last on May 22 over 300m at this track behind Wild Sal beaten 6 lengths (17.41) in a Grade 5. Has failed to show enough to come into contention.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, not doing enough to be considered.
