Healesville Race 12 - Sportsbet Blackbook
ARCHIE MCIVOR (2) has performed well at his last couple of runs here, most recently when third beaten 4.5 lengths (19.68). Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from seven starts. Key chance in this line up. WILKIE TWYCROSS (6) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into second last time out (24.47) over 425m at Bendigo. Can find the frame this time. ROLLING EXPRESS (1) turned in a moderate performance last time when fifth at Geelong over 400m behind Paw Ballista (23.49) in a Grade 5. Placed at his previous run. Has the ability to give this a shake. DESPICABLE ANDY (7) warrants respect with the drop in trip.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 5th on September 18 over 400m at Geelong behind Paw Ballista beaten 14 lengths (23.49) in a Grade 5. More than capable and well placed to find his best form.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.82) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length fifth. Has two wins and four placings from 12 starts from the draw. Looks one of the chances.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 400m at Warragul. Others make more appeal.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (24.47) at Bendigo over 425m. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.
