The in-form Peter Healey stable can keep the momentum rolling at Moonee Valley on Monday with last start winners Miss Popkins and Mr Sargood.

The last four horses Healey has saddled up have all won - Justsay Somethink and Mr Sargood at sandown on May 27, Miss Popkins (Kilmore, May 29) and Justsay Somethink (Sandown, June 3).

"We're just working really hard and it's paying dividends," Healey said.

Ben Melham will ride Miss Popkins in the Quest Moonee Valley Hcp (2040m) while Michael Rodd is aboard topweight Mr Sargood in the Aquanas Foods Hcp (1528m).

Mr Sargood won second-up over 1400 metres at Sandown on May 27 after resuming with a neck second to Tictacs over 1200m at Sandown on May 13, both on dead rated tracks.

The gelding goes up two kilograms to 58kg on his last-start win and has drawn barrier 14 in the 15-horse field but Healey says neither of those factors are a worry.

"He's a good weight carrier but we need rain. He needs give in the track," he said.

Six of Mr Sargood's seven wins have been on heavy going.

Healey is rapt with the progress Miss Popkins has made.

The four-year-old has won four of her 11 starts and is chasing a hat-trick following victories over 1770 metres at Pakenham and 2107 metres at Kilmore last month.

"I've never had a mare improve the way she has," Healey said.

"She has got enormous ability and when you look back through her form when she ran at Moonee Valley at the night meeting she was galloped on and should have been pulled up.

"She is absolutely flying and I believe she will reach open class company."

Miss Popkins is out of the imported mare Lucky Poppy who won six races in succession in Victoria for the John Meagher stable including victories at Caulfield and Flemington in 1989.
