Horsham Race 12 - One More Race To Go
BLANKET GAME (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at this track behind Paw Lester (23.97) in a Grade 5. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. The form from his last run stacks up well. Expected to feature in the finish again. DRAX BALE (2) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 0.7 lengths at this track in a handy 23.64 beating Artemis Science. One of the leading chances again. PERFECT TONIGHT (8) has been mixing form lately, hitting the frame two back before finishing fourth (22.57) at Warrnambool in a Grade 5. Can feature with the right run. LEKTRA ROGER (7) is in the mix despite missing out at this track last time.

In the money last time at this track (23.97) in a Grade 5, finishing a 5 length third. Yet to miss the frame from four starts from the draw, including two wins. With a clean break looks hard to beat.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Warrnambool over 390m in 22.30. Followed that up with a minor placing over 425m at Bendigo at Grade 5 three days ago. Scored two on the trot prior to last start. Can return to winning form.

Improved sharply when third behind Whodat Jewel at this track last start over 410m (23.63). Good beginner who shouldn't be far away in the run.

Got back last start and could only manage sixth but before that won by 1.3 lengths at Ballarat (22.46) beating Bragging Rights in a Grade 5 on August 15. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Latest effort finished 4th in a Grade 5 on August 20 over 390m at Warrnambool behind Loud Mouth Louie beaten 3.5 lengths (22.57). More than capable and has to be included.
