Healesville Race 8 - Pitstop Mower Repairs

HARD PRESS (1) was 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 half a length second (19.67) over 350m at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expected to feature in the finish again. SPECIAL SIAN (3) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only 0.8 lengths from Choji Akimichi in third (19.96) at this track. Leading player again. HOWE PIE (5) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (29.99) in a Grade 5 NP at Sandown. Solid record here winning six races. Worth following up. KING PLUM (2) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (19.69) at this track over 350m. Has been thereabouts of late and is among the chances.
