Healesville Race 3 - Vale Margaret Thorneycroft
ELECTRA OPAL (8) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing second behind Crackerjack Les (16.84) in a Grade 5. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Top prospect. BULL DURHAM (2) turned in a plain effort last time when sixth at Warragul over 400m behind Dr. Will (23.24) in a Free For All. Scored at his previous run. The form out of his last race has been franked. Shapes as one to consider. ONE KNEE NONI (1) recorded a 4 length third in a Grade 5 last time 17.03 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Rates a leading chance. TARYN'S BLUE (5) is a course and distance winner who cannot be left out.

Last start finished 3rd over 300m at this track beaten 4 lengths (17.03) behind Taryn's Blue in a Grade 5 on May 15. Has been around the mark at her last couple and should make her presence felt.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warragul (23.24) in a Free For All, finishing a 10 length sixth. Yet to win but has placed four times from this draw. Looks suited and should go close.
