Horsham Race 9

Warrack Butchery (2-3 Wins)

Prize Money: $2,925

PAW WONDER (2) has been in super consistent form recently with two minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing sixth (22.91) at Ballarat. Has never missed the frame here from three starts. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Has ability and looks hard to stop. MEPUNGA WILLOW (7) flew the lids from the middle with a slick turn of foot before finishing third (19.41) and beaten 0.8 lengths over 350m at Healesville. Form from her last run is proving strong. Can measure up. PAW JAXSON (3) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (23.73) from Box 2 at this track. Has a solid record from this box including two wins and a minor placing. Winning chance. CHRISTMAS (4) must be included in main hopes on latest effort.

Good effort to win last start by 0.8 lengths over 450m at Warrnambool in a handy (26.16), beating Doongalla Justin. Will find this a bit tougher, other runners look much more appealing.

Well supported last time and gave a sight after a fast early split but could manage only the minor money, finishing a 0.8 lengths third (19.41) over 350m at Healesville. Has run blistering time here with a 23.07 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.
