Healesville Race 8 - Healesville Football Netball Club

ESPECIAL KAI (2) has some solid form under his belt and proved too strong last time to win by a neck at this track in a handy 19.20 beating Catch Some Rays. Has a strong record out of this box with four wins and five minor placings from 10 starts. Hard to go past. SMART AS YOU (8) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at this track, scoring by 5 lengths (18.80). This tougher but looks a leading chance again. COMMANCHE JACK (7) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (19.91) last time out at Grafton. Form here at the trip excellent including three wins. Leading player again. ASTON LYON (1) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Sandown over 515m. Last start finished 5th over 520m at Q Parklands beaten 10 lengths (30.52) behind Flyaway Jack in a Grade 5 on July 4. Last run is a strong form reference. Worth following up.
