Healesville Race 2 - Gap (1-3 Wins)
IMAGINATION (8) comes here following a placing in fast time (16.51) over 300m at this track when beaten 1.3 lengths in a Maiden FIN. Hard to top on the time from last start. DIRTY APOLLO (6) had second look this course and distance latest and improved on his time, finishing a one length third in 16.86. Rates a leading chance if runs up to latest. WILLOW STAR (3) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by half a length (16.91) at this track. Expected to feature again. ROYCE VAN WINKLE (2) deserves plenty of thought over this trip.

Hasn't been that impressive recently but he goes well over this track and distance with two wins from three starts. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.

Good effort to score just four days ago over 300m at this track by half a length in a Maiden. Has an excellent 16.67 best time at this course and distance. Big chance.

Has finished fourth at the last two runs, both at Traralgon, the latest when beaten 6 lengths behind Ego Bale over 350m. Happy enough to avoid.

On debut last start won by half a length at this track (17.38) beating Mrs. Puddleduck in a Maiden on September 7. Will find this tougher and may struggle.

Was in the placings last time but prior to that was a strong winner scoring by 2.25 lengths in a Maiden H at this track and recording a dazzling 16.38 for the 300m journey. Expected to push the clock again here.
