Horsham Race 5 - Chs Group
BLESSED RAIN (3) boasts a strong record this journey with 21 wins and 12 minors from 39 tries. Hit the frame latest (21.85) when third at Shepparton in a Free For All. Rates a leading player. HARA HACHI BU (1) has a strong record here including three wins from five starts. Comes off a (22.54) win last time, scoring by 5 lengths in a Mix 3/4 over 400m at Warragul. Looks well placed here and among the chances. PAW PALMER (8) took advantage of a low draw last start with an all-the-way win (22.99) at this track in a Grade 5 over 410m. Can measure up again. PAW ZEVON (7) has claims again if he runs up to the latest effort.

Was out of placings last time (22.62) at Warrnambool in a Free For All, finishing fifth and beaten 2.25 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from three starts. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a sensational early split, giving a sight but could only manage third (21.85) at Shepparton over 390m. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fourth last time out over 390m at Shepparton. Predicted to struggle on this occasion.

Strong performance showing plenty of speed to score by 2.25 lengths in a Grade 4 last start at this track, clocking an excellent 23.12 for the 410m trip. Should be in this for a long way.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but ran over late and missed the frame when a 3.5 lengths fifth (26.05) over 450m at Warrnambool. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.
