Healesville Race 11 - Central Scaffolds Damsels Dash
SUN IN CUBA (1) jumped from out wide and was game in defeat last start when a neck second (16.79) behind Major Illusion at this track. Deserves serious consideration. WHY NOT OLIVIA (8) hasn't been far away, finishing in the money twice in a row including last time in a Grade 4 at Sale over 435m. Can find the frame this time. NESHIA (2) was below best last time at this track (17.07) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4.5 lengths sixth. Has already won three times from this draw. Among the main chances. DUSTY DANAE (7) placed last start and is in the mix again.

A quick 16.79 over the 300m journey. Has the ability and looks hard to top.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by over 300m at this track in a handy 16.85, beating Mr. Fortitude. Solid formlines coming through that last run. Will be thereabouts.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (16.90) over 300m at this track. Drawn awkwardly. Prefer others.

Solid performance to win by 5 lengths at Launceston over 515m (30.20) beating What Happened in Grade 5 on July 6. Not up to this.

Was sixth in a Grade 5 two back then given a six months break after failing to finish last time at Warragul. Tough line-up here and prefer to see here fresh.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when second (24.65) at Sale over 435m. Has a sharp 16.78 PB at this course and distance. Hard to beat.

At the last outing finished last in a Grade 5 H on July 19 over 350m at this track behind Electrojet beaten 14 lengths (20.24). Can bounce back. One of the main chances.
