Healesville Race 5 - Gorski Engineering (300+Rank)
SANDY CHEEK (5) goes very well at the course and distance with three wins and a placing from five starts. Scored by 1.3 lengths last time (16.78) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 over 300m at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. IRISH BREW (1) showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when in the minors, beaten 3 lengths over 300m this track in 17.03. Must be included in calculations. LITTLE WHIP (2) turned in a plain performance last time when fifth at Ballarat over 390m behind Connor's Flyer (22.82) in a Grade 5. Has ability and can measure up. NEED YOU NOW (3) deserves plenty of thought over this distance.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3 length third (17.03) over 300m at this track. Forward showing expected.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (25.05) over 435m at Sale. Tough draw to overcome and needs to bounce back.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a sixth over 300m at this track. Prepared to overlook.
