Healesville Race 8 - Gorski Engineering
NEED YOU NOW (5) has missed the placings at his last couple but was in the money three back when third (29.17) at Sale in a Grade 5. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. CRUELLA (1) is 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 (19.87) at this track over 350m. Racing well and deserves a win. SPECIAL SIAN (2) turned in a fair run last time from the squeeze finishing fifth by 2.5 lengths (19.62). Has a good record here at this journey. In the mix. WINE LOVER (7) placed last time and cannot be ignored.
