Healesville Race 9 - Gorski Engineering

GOLD TAG (3) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 2.25 lengths at The Meadows in a handy 29.81 beating Ian Albert. Flying at the moment and expecting another big run. MAJOR ILLUSION (1) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his slick win a few runs back, getting around this track over 300m in 16.78. Expected to feature on best figures. MEPUNGA WHISKEY (7) drops in trip and warrants respect.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when he finished last in a Grade 4/5 on July 26 over 350m at this track behind Impetuously beaten 10 lengths (19.87). Forget the latest effort. Among the chances.
