Horsham Race 13

Prize Money: $2,925

RED EYE SAMURAI (3) failed to feature last start after drifting back at this track, but prior to that won by 0.7 lengths at Geelong (22.72) beating Aston Borealis in a Rank Limit - Grade 6 on August 11. Comes through a solid form race last start. Tough to beat if on-song. PINE BLUFF (1) finished in the placings last time but could not have been more impressive three back in her solid 22.24 win at Ballarat over 390m. Top win three back and can measure up again. THERMAL FLICKER (2) has mixed form recently, finishing sixth (26.95) in a Grade 5 at Shepparton latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Can hit the frame this time. PAW MURBELLA (8) is new to this course but warrants respect.

Showed brilliant pace early and gave a sight when a 0.6 lengths third over 390m Warrnambool in 22.62. Some good form is emerging from that last run. Expected to prove hard to beat.

Missed the frame latest (26.95) when sixth over 450m at Shepparton in a Grade 5. Goes very well from the draw boasting two places from four starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Geelong over 400m. Last start finished 5th on August 18 over 410m at this track behind Whodat Jewel beaten 8 lengths (23.90) in a Grade 5. Key chance on best form.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors two back when second (22.44) over 390m at Warrnambool. Awkwardly drawn but is in the mix.

Last start finished fourth in a Grade 5 on August 20 over 390m at Warrnambool behind Aston Sunshine, beaten 5 lengths (22.60). Will find this a little easier. Solid showing expected.
