Horsham Race 9

Locks Constructions

Stake: $3,159

PAW KARSON (7) stalked the lead from the inside draw before finishing second last start (22.59) at Warrnambool in Grade 5 over 390m. Can measure up this time. CORTEZ BALE (3) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing fifth (23.54) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning eight races. Can measure up this time. LEKTRA BILLS (1) was below best last time finishing fourth at Warrnambool, but prior to that had been racing well including a Restricted WIN win two back at Warrnambool. Has the ability and expected to do much better. ULTIMATE BLEND (2) is worth including after a top-three finish most recently.

Was sent out long odds last time but charged out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 3 length fourth (23.41) over 410m at this track. Solid showing expected.

In the money last time at Warrnambool (22.59) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths second. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Looks suited and should go close.
