Horizon Battlers Cup Ht7 (300+ Rank)

Stake: $1,775

ACE OF PACE (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (25.04) in a Grade 5 at this track. Tough to beat if on-song. SWEET NUGGET (4) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (26.55) in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 at Warragul. Expected to give a good account. WARRIOR BOBBY (1) last raced on October 30 when seventh (23.52) over 400m at Warragul in a Mix 6/7. Has the ability and rates a key chance this line-up. PETITE BEAST (3) placed last time out as public elect - worth considering.
