Horsham Race 5

Chs Group

Stake: $3,218

BLACKPOOL RANGER (5) got the job done again after leading them home to make it back to back wins at Shepparton over 390m (22.22). Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to his name from three starts. Expected to go well again. BIG BOY COOPER (2) has a moderate overall strike-rate. Finished in the money last time though when third (23.46) at this track. Leading player again. DASH EXPRESS (4) recorded his Best Time this course and distance when a 23.14 winner of a Grade 4/5 in one of the quickest wins on the program. Should be in this for a long way. MAC AND CHEESE (6) is worth including.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around this track over 410m in 23.14, claiming a Grade 4/5 by a neck. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in that last win. Stay with him.

Was big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 1.3 lengths fourth (23.52) over 410m at this track. Can't enthuse on this occasion.
