Healesville Race 5 - Sportsbet Ht1
GUNAI RAMBO (3) is yet to miss the placings in an excellent record this trip which boasts two wins. Scored by last time (19.57) in a Mix 6/7 over 350m at this track. Looks suited and should go close. WILD ORANGE (4) hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 3.5 lengths fourth (19.58) over 350m at this track. The form out of last run is most impressive. Cannot be taken lightly. DIRTY APOLLO (7) is building a strong record, the latest hitting the ground running and leading throughout to score (22.30) at Shepparton in Maiden over 390m. Superior out of the boxes and will be in the firing line early. Sure to measure up. MANILA PANDA (8) has been in the placings at his last two runs, most recently when second (29.97) in a Restricted WIN over 515m at Sandown.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (19.58) at this track over 350m. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing fifth (30.26) at Sandown last start. Boxed out wide and looks safely held.

Solid performance to win by 0.7 lengths at Shepparton over 390m (22.30) beating Calabrese in Maiden on August 17. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Looks close to another win after his success on July 8 at The Meadows over 600m. Last start was second over 515m in 29.97, behind Floreat Pica. Better than the last couple of runs suggest. Expected to feature.
