Horsham Race 12 - One More Race To Go (275+ Rank)
IS HE HAPPY (2) found the going tougher last start when finishing 7th over 390m at Ballarat. Was a this track winner in lesser company the start prior. Has ability and can bounce back. REBEL THINKER (7) clocked a new course and distance PB last time, finishing a 4 length third behind Is He Lucky in 23.62. Top run latest and rates a key player again. CLOSE SHAVE (6) jumped from the inside and boxed on well to finish second last time, beaten 1.3 lengths (18.08) behind Acoustic Flash at Mt Gambier. Expected to feature again. PAW MANNY (1) gave nothing else a chance most recently. Hard to beat again.

Good effort to win last start by 1.5 lengths over 450m at Shepparton in a handy (25.74), beating Mia Blonde. Has ability and worth including.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 410m. Last start finished 7th in a Grade 5 on April 15 over 390m at Ballarat behind Lightning Range beaten 8 lengths (22.64). Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 450m at Warrnambool. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Disappointed last time but just missed the placings two back over 595m at Sandown. Likely to find this too tough.

Strong performance after racing just off the speed to win by 1.75 lengths at Geelong over 400m (22.72) beating Red Eye Samurai in Rank Limit - Restricted Win on April 14. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.
