Healesville Race 3 - Montrose IGA Liquor (1-2 Wins)
MATILDA FLAME (2) doesn't win out of turn. Finished in the minors latest when second (22.52) at Ballarat and may be close to breaking through. Key chance in this line up. HIGHWAY TO HELL (8) turned in a fair run last time from an unfavourable draw finishing fifth by 0.8 lengths (17.19). Form here at the trip sound including two wins. Has ability and is one of the better chances. HIT THE BUTTON (3) was game in defeat off a low draw at the latest outing, finishing second and beaten a neck (17.19) behind Maisey Mary at this track. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Expected to feature again. PIES AND SAUCE (1) can fill a top-three spot.

Has finished sixth at this circuit at the last two appearances, most recently when beaten 3 lengths behind Be Courageous over 300m. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Good effort last time when third (17.49) over 300m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Top-three aspirations.

Hit the frame in a T3 RSTW two back then found trouble and failed to finish at Bendigo last time before a six months spell. Can measure up with the right run here fresh.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 300m at this track. Prepared to risk on this occasion.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 300m at this track. Needs to find a bit more to test these.
