Healesville Race 5 - Montrose IGA Liquor
FIDDLES (3) was below best at his last start when 6th at this track following a second place finish (19.33) there two back. Solid record here at the distance winning 20 races. Can bounce back. FIELD OF ANGELS (1) has missed the frame at her last two but did run well three back when second (22.98) in a Grade 5 at Warragul. Can find the frame this time. ZIPPING CHOI (5) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by a neck (25.63) at Ballarat in a Grade 5 over 450m. The form out of her last race has been franked. Should feature again. PREPARATION (2) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Didn't make the placings last time at Warragul (23.48) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length fourth. Has performed well off the draw with a win and four places from seven starts. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Could only manage fourth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (19.46) over 350m at this track. Has a low draw and is worth plenty of thought.

Could manage only sixth last time but impressed the start prior when he recorded a respectable 19.33 over 350m when went down narrowly, at this track. Has the ability and expected to go close again.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Traralgon over 425m in 24.18. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 400m at Warragul at Grade 5 level. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Finished second at big odds last time (19.47) over 350m at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. Will need plenty of luck.

Looks close to another win after his success on September 23 at this track over 350m. Last start was third over 350m in 19.73, behind Flaming Fox. More than capable and ready to find best form.
