Horsham Race 1 - Sportsbet Blackbook
AUSSIE BARON (4) improved his time on first attempt here at the trip with a 3.5 lengths third in 23.58 latest. Has the ability and expected to go close. ZIPPING MERLINA (2) is a Matthew Lanigan-trained newcomer by Goodesy out of Zipping Eve with no trial form to work with. Market should provide a lead to her ability. PROCESS DRIVEN (1) turned in a better run last time to find a minor placing (23.66) at this track behind Zipping Lleyton in a Maiden. Has the pace to be prominent. The form from his last run is stacking up nicely. Must be included in calculations. FACTORY (7) has strong claims after a top-three finish when making debut.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when second (23.66) over 410m at this track. Has the inside draw this time. Must be included.

Well bred first race starter by Goodesy from Zipping Eve. She looks suitably boxed. Can make an immediate impact.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last four starts. Last time out finished 2nd in a Maiden on November 3 over 410m at this track behind Paw Drummond beaten a neck (23.34). Narrowly beaten last time but this will test.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 3.5 lengths third over 410m this track in 23.58. Capable of a strong show.

Ran a nice race on debut when settled off the speed early but got home well to finish second (24.11) at Bendigo over 425m. Comes through a good form race. Looks a definite chance.

Last start finished 4th on November 3 over 400m at Geelong behind Picasso Science beaten 6 lengths (23.64) in a Bottom Up - Maiden. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
