Healesville Race 8 - Gorski Engineering
GUARDIAN (3) has been out of the placings at her last couple but on the winners' heels when placing three back (19.46) in a Grade 5 at this track. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. NEGATIVE NIBBS (6) clocked a respectable 19.31 when filling a minor placing over 350m at this track last start. Expected to feature again. LAKERS LEGEND (1) is boxed nicely on the inside. Last start finished last on August 16 over 300m at this track behind Frozen Winter beaten 4 lengths (16.98) in a Grade 4/5. Among the main chances.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (16.98) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4 length sixth. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks a key chance on best form.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest when second (16.72) over 300m at this track. Awkwardly drawn and will need to find best.

Missed the frame latest (25.89) when fifth over 450m at Shepparton in a Mix 3/4. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and four places from nine starts. Suited here and expected to run well.
