Horsham Race 8 - Sportsbet (1-4 Wins) Ht2
ASTON ACE (1) looks close to win after hitting the frame last run (25.43) at Ballarat in a Restricted WIN H. Has first look at box 1 this time. Form from his last run is proving strong. Expected to feature in the finish again. MEPUNGA WHISKEY (5) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by 1.75 lengths (29.45) at Sandown in a Grade 6 over 515m. The form out of last race has been strong. Leading player again. CHEEKY ALESSIA (2) goes very well here starting eight times for three wins and three minors. Below best last time at Shepparton (22.60) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5 length fifth. Looks a key chance on best figures. PAW ORENTHAL (8) is a last-start placegetter and was in front for a fair way - in the mix again.

Hit the ground running with a slick early sectional but had to settle for a minor placing when a 2.25 lengths third over 450m at Ballarat, clocking 25.43. Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.

Good effort to win last start by 2.5 lengths over 410m at this track in a handy (23.63), beating Paw Trinny. Can measure up again with the right run.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start by 1.75 lengths at Sandown (29.45) beating Perfect Symphony in a Grade 6 on May 25. In top form and can make it three straight.

Placed last time (26.18) at Warragul in a Restricted WIN H, finishing second and beaten 0.8 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.
