Horsham Race 4

Vale John Weir-Smith

Stake: $3,159

LEKTRA SOLO (1) has a strong record this track and trip including two wins from three starts. Below best last time at Warrnambool (26.07) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3 length fourth. Suited here and expected to run well. ALBORZ GIRL (2) has a strong record this trip with five wins and four placings from 12 starts. Scored by a nose last time (22.37) in a Grade 5 over 390m at Shepparton. Looks one of the chances. RECKLESS (3) is in form and worth thought again. Something for the Multiples: LIVING (7)

Won two starts back over 450m at Warrnambool. Last start he finished 4th in a Grade 5 on July 10 over 450m at Warrnambool behind Amron Bobby beaten 3 lengths (26.07). Draw likely to suit. Has run slick time here with a 23.24 PB at the distance. Go close.

Got back last start and could only manage fifth but before that won by 2.25 lengths at Ballarat (22.08) beating Tinker Dot in a Grade 5 on July 2. Tempted to look elsewhere.

Eye-catching performance leading throughout to score by 3.5 lengths in a Mix 3/4 last start at Warrnambool, clocking an excellent 22.01 for the 390m trip. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.

Backs up after winning comfortably by 3.5 lengths at Warrnambool (22.38) beating Paw Karson in a Grade 5 on July 10 five days ago. This is much harder assignment and she needs to find another gear.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a nose second over 390m Shepparton in 22.37. Has a strong record from box 8, including two wins. Winning hope with the right run.
