Healesville Race 1 - Montrose IGA Liquor (2-3 Wins)
SMART ROSCOE (8) has a strong record this journey here with two wins and a minor from five starts. Below best last time at this track (19.71) in a Mix 6/7 FIN, finishing a 4 length eighth. Expected to be in the finish. RITA PAIGE (4) has missed the frame at her last two but did run well three back when third (24.02) in a Restricted WIN H at Bendigo. Can find the frame this time. OPALINA (7) turned in a solid run last start over 350m at this track finishing 5th and beaten only 2.75 lengths (19.71). Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. Has the ability to give this a shake. ASTON ROCHELLE (2) should be thereabouts after filling a top-three spot in a fast run most recently.

Backs up after winning by a long neck at Shepparton (22.41) beating Orange Crush in a Maiden FIN on August 10 six days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a nose second over 300m this track in 16.99. Has ability and can run well.

Missed the frame latest (26.14) when fifth over 450m at Shepparton in a Restricted WIN. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Jumped safely when finishing sixth over 350m at this track. Won an easier race the start before that at Bendigo. Hard to recommend this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (19.71) in a Mix 6/7 H, finishing a 2.75 lengths fifth. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Makes appeal on best.

Latest effort finished last over 350m at this track beaten 4 lengths (19.71) behind Jetty Jumper in a Mix 6/7 FIN on August 9. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.
