After an entertaining set of Sportsbet Healesville Cup heats on Sunday, we’re set for an open final with five runners opening at single figure quotes with Sportsbet.
Conditions were very blustery on the day which didn’t seem to have the expected impact on times with all finalists setting very similar numbers.
Victorian Straight Track Champion Zipping Gryllis was the fastest heat winner. Aston Fantastic has drawn box 1 and has opened favourite despite being beaten by Zipping Gryllis and progressing as one of the two fastest runners-up.
Aside from Blue Blood, the other seven finalists were only separated by 0.07 of a second, which equates to about a length. It’s safe to say there’s not much between them.
