Horsham Race 9

Shima Shine At Stud

Prize Money: $1,530

GUITAR TANGO (7) goes very well this trip starting 15 times for five wins and four minors. In the money last time at this track (23.55) in a Grade 5, finishing a nose second. Has the ability and should feature. BRUTALITY (4) had the drop on the lead from a soft draw and drew clear to score (23.53) at this track in Grade 5 over 410m. Can make it two on the bounce. GLOBAL EXPRESS (1) had a tough draw to overcome and was game in defeat when only 0.8 lengths from Kraken Missiles in second (25.61) at Shepparton. Expected to feature. GENESIS BALE (5) is always hard to beat when he races at this trip.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 390m at Warrnambool. Thereabouts last start but looks tested this time.

Lines up chasing another win after scoring over 410m at this track in 23.53, set up by a fast early sectional. Key chance on that latest effort.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when third (22.41) over 390m at Ballarat. Awkwardly drawn but capable of a better result.

Comments

Working his way into winning form after his success on July 31 at Warrnambool over 390m. Last start was second over 410m in 23.55, behind Him Tarzan. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.
