Healesville Race 9 - Montrose IGA Liquor (1-2 Wins)(300+)

SMOKIN' LOPEZ (1) did a good job to finish second last time out over 350m at this track (20.05) in a Bottom Up - Grade 6, the second top-three finish on the trot. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. NIGHTMARE GAVIN (7) was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional and went on to clock 19.64 in a half a length win at this track over 350m. Strong form has emerged from his last run. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. DODGING SHADOWS (2) comes off an average performance last start when fifth at this track over 350m behind Billy Boy Reuben (20.40) in a Bottom Up - Grade 6. Was in the money prior to that. Form from his last run is proving to be solid. Cannot be taken lightly. SONG BY FERNANDO (8) can find the frame without surprising.

Resumes from a ten weeks spell and was in the minors at only other fresh up run, finishing third at big odds over 460m at Geelong. This looks too tough.
