Healesville Race 8 - Central Scaffolds
MAJOR ILLUSION (1) jumps from the inside draw. Last start finished 6th on August 16 over 350m at this track behind Fiddles beaten 3.5 lengths (19.59) in a Grade 5. Looks suited and should go close. WINKING WILLIE (4) comes into this as a quickest on the card winner last time at this track, scoring by 1.4 lengths (19.52). Should be in this for a long way. WALTER WALRUS (7) goes very well here starting 21 times for eight wins and four minors. Below best last time at this track (19.96) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length sixth. Can feature with the right run. SUAVE (2) warrants respect following a recent placing over this course and distance.

Backs up after winning by a neck at this track (19.80) beating Wilkie Twycross in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 on August 26 four days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.
