Healesville Race 7 - Gorski Engineering
HAPPY AND NUMB (1) lines up chasing another win after getting around the 450m at Ballarat in a strong 25.13 on November 5. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. BROKEN HALO (2) is having his first look at this course. Comes here a last start placegetter at Ballarat in a Grade 5 (31.22). Form from his last run is proving strong. Expected to be in this for a long way. SHIMA STRIPE (8) turned in a better effort at this track last start, finishing third behind Nightmare Gavin (19.62) in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. Can feature again. MAJOR ILLUSION (6) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - solid claims again.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Ballarat over 450m in 25.13 last start, beating Hooked And Happy. Likes the rails so the one to beat again.
