Healesville Race 9 - Eastern Caravan Hire

BRAVADO (7) missed the frame last time when fifth (17.06) at this track in a Special conditions Veteran race but not beaten far the start prior. Better than last run and makes appeal this time. BIG PLAYER (5) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (19.75) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Expected to do much better this time. LET'S PLAY BALL (2) broke a string of placings finishing in the money two on end before a last start fifth (17.10) at this track. Bold showing expected. MY BOY SONNY (1) is always a threat when he races at this track and distance.

Could only manage eighth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (23.21) over 400m at Geelong. Nicely drawn on the inside and is worth plenty of thought.

At the last outing finished last in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on July 15 over 350m at this track behind Walter Walrus beaten 5.5 lengths (20.04). Forgive the latest run. Has solid claims on her best form.
