PYRENEES ACE (2) comes off an average performance last start when sixth at Horsham over 410m behind Sketchy Demos (24.03) in a Grade 5. Worth another chance.

HIGH COBBER (1) was safely held last time out, finishing seventh at Horsham over 410m behind Paw Drogo (23.96) in a Grade 5. Was a winner prior to that. In the mix.

Ordinary effort last start when he got back too far over 410m at Horsham. Prior to that won by 0.8 lengths at Warrnambool (26.10) beating Paddy's Way in a Restricted WIN on July 2. Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Sale over 435m. Last start finished 2nd in a Grade 5 NP on July 13 over 515m at Sandown behind Paw Maud beaten 3.5 lengths (30.13). Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in her races, The latest effort was a 11 length seventh over 485m at Horsham. Happy to risk in this.
