Horsham Race 9 - Sportsbet Blackbook
BRUTALITY (2) rocketed out of the inside draw with a strong early sectional and gave a sight but had to settle for a placing, finishing second (25.72) at Shepparton over 450m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Capable of going well again. MISCHIEF MATE (8) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Warrnambool over 390m behind Better Banjo (22.56) in a Free For All. Some good form is emerging from his last run. Cannot be taken lightly. CHERRY TIME (4) charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but swamped late when a close up fourth (22.68) at Shepparton over 390m. Has won two of four starts from this draw. Expected to feature in the finish. PAW HUNTER (7) missed the placings here most recently but can sneak into the finish with the right run.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Bendigo over 425m in 24.20. Followed that up with a minor placing over 425m at Bendigo at Grade 6 two weeks ago. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Did a good job two starts back at Geelong to win by 4.5 lengths in 22.61, beating Mandolin Storm. Last start finished 4th over 390m at Shepparton beaten 3.5 lengths (22.68) behind Zeni Bale in a Grade 4/5 on August 21. Has ability and worth including.

Has finished fifth at her last couple of starts, most recently at Geelong over 460m. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
