Horsham Race 5

On-Site Engineering

Stake: $3,629

NOVA OWEN (2) finished a 5.5 lengths second last start over 390m at Warrnambool in a slick 22.23. Smart effort latest and looks a key chance again here. SHAKER STICKER (1) ran an exceptional 22.05 when winning over 390m at Warrnambool last start. Expecting another bold showing. LOCHINVAR TIGER (3) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at Shepparton over 390m behind Paw Roxy (22.73) in a Grade 5. Has the ability to give this a shake. CORTEZ BALE (8) can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split and ran away with a 5 length win at Warrnambool over 390m in 22.05. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

In the money last time at Warrnambool (22.23) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 5.5 lengths second. Has two wins and two placings from six starts from the draw. Looks a leading chance.

Was out of placings last time (23.17) at Warragul in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 485m at this track. Others read better.

Goes well at this track and trip. Last start finished 4th on July 2 over 390m at Ballarat behind Naughty Norm beaten 6 lengths (22.51) in a Grade 5. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Worth including.
