Healesville Race 8 - Montrose Iga Liquor
CATCH SOME RAYS (3) has a strong record this track and trip with 15 wins and six placings from 35 starts. Comes off a (19.34) win last time, scoring by 1.5 lengths in a Free For All over 350m at this track. With a clean break looks hard to beat. HIGH END CASH (4) was safely held in tougher company last start at this track, but prior to that won by 2.5 lengths at this track (18.93) beating Michigan in a Free For All on January 25. Should be thereabouts. CHAVERO (7) goes very well this trip starting 26 times for nine wins and nine minors. Scored by 2.75 lengths last time (24.41) in a Grade 4 over 435m at Sale. Looks suited here and can measure up. EVIL EYE (1) can measure up with the right run.

Good effort to win last start by 2.5 lengths over 350m at this track in a handy (19.70), beating Zambora Bliss. In winning form now and looks a major threat.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fifth (19.58) at this track over 350m. Has run hot time here with a 18.93 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (19.43) over 350m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. One of the better hopes.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 400m at Warragul. Cannot enthuse on this occasion.

Won two starts back at this track over 350m in 19.32. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when sixth over 350m at this track at Free For All level. Prepared to overlook.
