Horsham Race 6

Watts Price Accountants

Prize Money: $3,875

TAKE THE STEPS (1) drew an outside box and was game in defeat when only half a length from the winner Burn Along in second(25.49) at Ballarat. The form out of his last race has been franked. Expected to feature in the finish again. PAW XANTIPPE (6) comes here after a sharp win at Sandown over 515m in 29.49. Should be in this for a long way. AUSSIE SUPREME (7) turned in a plain effort last time when fifth at The Meadows over 525m behind Rapid Heart (31.06) in a Grade 5 FIN. Was in the money prior to that. Has performed well from this box with a win and three minor placings to his name from eight starts. Should be in this for a long way. VARSITY BALE (2) is likely to have admirers.

Looks close to another win after his success on March 18 at this track over 410m. Last start was second over 450m in 25.49, behind Burn Along. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Didn't make the placings last time at The Meadows (30.33) in a Grade 4, finishing a 2.75 lengths fifth. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and four minors. Can hit the frame with the right run.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a 0.6 lengths second over 400m Geelong in 22.84. Solid chance with even luck.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won easily by 3.5 lengths at this track (23.31) beating Paw Nevada in a Grade 5 on April 8. Prefer in something easier.

Comments

Good effort to win last start by 1.3 lengths over 525m at The Meadows in a handy (30.25), beating Zippity Zippin'. Will find this a bit tougher, this looks too tough.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
