Healesville Race 4 - Healesville Physio And Sports Medicine
ESPECIAL HUGO (3) won again in another strong performance to make it two on the bounce, scoring by 1.3 lengths (16.86) at this track over 300m. Looks the testing material. HE'S TALKING (2) has missed the frame the last couple but was a Mix 6/7 winner three back (19.64) at this track over 350m. Well placed here and can atone this time. BRAVE ISLAND (1) was out of the placings last time when sixth at Geelong (23.13) but scored five back at Geelong (25.95). Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. MCKERCHER (8) is worth consideration.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 6th on March 10 over 400m at Geelong behind Lochinvar Cosmo beaten 7 lengths (23.13) in a Mix 6/7. Placed two back at Geelong. Was in the money two on end before missing the frame last time. Worth another try.

Had been racing in honest fashion before missing the frame last time out, finishing seventh (19.84) at this track. Tricky draw to overcome and will need the right run to feature.

Missed the frame last start when seventh but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Looks a strong place chance on best figures.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 1.5 lengths in 19.49, beating Major Wait. Last start finished 7th on March 9 over 390m at Shepparton behind Motorsport beaten 9 lengths (22.61) in a Grade 6. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
