Horsham Race 8

Watts Price Accountants

Prize Money: $3,875

DYNAMITE ERIC (2) was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional and went on to clock 27.49 in a 3 length win at this track over 485m. Comes through a solid form race last start. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. DEEP THINKER (3) ran below best last time finishing fourth (30.76) over 525m at The Meadows from Box 5. Great chance to atone. MISTER MANFREDI (4) finds it hard to win. Finished second (30.32) at Sandown latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Solid record at the distance winning three races. Must be included in calculations. CACO MAGIC (6) was in the money last time at Sandown (34.83) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4 length second. Has four wins already from this draw.

Backs up after finishing 6th on August 5 over 525m at The Meadows in a Grade 5 H. Likely to find this too tough.

Resumes from a break and did win only other start when fresh which was on debut, scoring over 600m at The Meadows. Looks a strong place chance.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by 2 lengths at The Meadows (30.02) beating Paw Winkworth in a Grade 4/5 on August 1. Likely to struggle this time.
