Healesville Race 5 - Gap Veterans
WINKING WILLIE (3) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a 1.75 lengths second (19.10) behind Michigan at this track. Likely to feature again. NOCTILUCENT (7) is in hot form after clocking a speedy 22.26 victory two back then followed up with a 25.62 win at Shepparton over 450m last time. In form and must include in calculations. SPOTTY CAN RUN (1) ran a slick 16.82 when placed over 300m at this track last start in a Grade 5. Harder here but expected to measure up. AUSSIE SUPREME (8) recorded a 3.5 lengths win (22.70) in a Special conditions Veteran race last time at Warragul. Has five wins already from this draw.

Finished in the minors last time but the start prior was a strong winner scoring by 0.6 lengths in a Grade 4/5 at this track and recording a powerful 19.16 over the 350m journey. Rates on top and can find winning form again.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Ballarat over 390m in 22.03. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 390m at Ballarat at Grade 4/5 level. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Good effort last time when third (19.91) over 350m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Others preferred.

Could only manage fifth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when third (22.33) over 390m at Ballarat. Tough draw to overcome and looks safely held.

In sparkling form, last time showing brilliant early pace and proving too slick around Shepparton over 450m in 25.62, making it three wins on end. On a hot winning streak and likely to score again.

Impressive performance tracking the speed and going on to post a big 3.5 lengths victory in a Special conditions Veteran race last start at Warragul, clocking a fast 22.70 over the 400m trip. In winning form and can measure up again.
