Healesville Race 3 - Montrose IGA Liquor Veterans
FIDDLES (3) is a last start placegetter in a Grade 5, jumping from this box and finishing half a length away in second over 350m at this track. Goes very well from this same draw winning six races. Key player on best form. HIJACK (7) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing sixth (17.20) at this track in a Grade 5. Key player on best and worth another try. WINKING WILLIE (4) started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fifth (19.28) at this track over 350m. Key runner who gets his chance to atone. LETHAL TRIX (1) must be included on latest effort.

Good effort last time when second (16.83) over 300m at this track. Drops down the inside box this time. Top-three aspirations.

Didn't make the placings last time at Shepparton (22.39) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 5.5 lengths fifth. Has four successes and six minors from 17 starts from box 2. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Was edged out last time at this track when beaten just half a length but did clock a good 19.33 over the 350m journey. Rates a top chance with a repeat here.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 4 length fifth (19.28) over 350m at this track. Should be right in the finish.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage seventh last time out over 300m at this track. Not doing enough to be considered.

Out of the placings last time but the run prior he recorded a convincing 16.66 over 300m when narrowly beaten, at this track. Looms as the one to beat this time.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, on best form is more than capable. Keep safe.
