Horsham Race 12

Stake: $3,568

BLACK STATESMAN (5) spotted a start but wound up strongly to place when 4 lengths third (25.71) at Warrnambool in Grade 4/5. Has performed well from this box with a win and five minor placings to his name from seven starts. Top prospect. SHY CABANG (1) has been hard to follow lately, running sixth (22.82) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Shepparton. Can find the frame this time. MR. KIA ORA (3) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 7th at Bendigo following on from a second place finish (22.23) at Warrnambool the start prior. Solid record here at this trip including two wins. Bold showing expected. FIREWORKS (7) can fill a top-three spot.

Didn't make the placings last time at Bendigo (24.89) in a Grade 5, finishing a 11 length seventh. Has three successes and five minors from 13 starts from box 3. Has ability and looks a key chance.

Placed last time (25.71) at Warrnambool in a Grade 4/5, finishing third and beaten 4 lengths. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and five minors. Looks well placed and should feature.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 390m at Warrnambool. Others make more appeal.

Did a good job two starts back at Warrnambool to win by 1.3 lengths in 22.38, beating Man Of Courage. Last start finished 6th in a Free For All on September 3 over 390m at Warrnambool behind Lektra Rosa beaten 7 lengths (22.64). Has ability and worth including.
