Horsham Race 6 - Decron Noel Smith Memorial Horsham Invitational Drivers Championship (4Th Heat)
KEAYANG SEASIDE (2) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at his last appearance over 1680m at Terang. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Well-placed to take this out. DO IT (10) has had two runs this prep without filling a placing. Was again unable to find the frame last start when he finished fourth over 1690m at Kilmore, beaten 11 metres. No favours expected from this draw. Facing a tougher assignment, but he is capable of running another bold race. KEAYANG GALLIANO (3) has a good draw and is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing second at this track over 2200m. CHEYS ANGEL (4) must be respected after scoring last start by 3 metres at Bendigo over 2150m.

Didn't do much at the last run, 7th (Sr2) over 1690m at Maryborough was 7th-10.4 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Pick Up Elvis (2:01.30) in NR up to 55 on June 4 at $26. Before that 7th (Fr2) over 1700m at this track, at the bell was 9th-18.2 beaten 13 m by Eastbro Kozzy (2:03.20) in NR 50 to 55 on May 28 at $31. Unlikely to threaten in this tougher assignment.

Three-year-old colt facing the starter for the second time. Won at debut when by a head (Fr1) at Terang (2:03.10) beating Highland Brett in MAIDEN on December 30 at $3.50 at the bell was 2nd-4.2m on the pegs. Can remain unbeaten fresh up.

Solid performance when beaten by 2 m finishing fourth behind Major Drama at Ballarat over 2200m in a NR 50 to 55 on May 22 at $4. Then a handy effort when a close second after a quick start, behind Ranger Rick at this track over 2200m in a 0-2 WINS on May 28 at $6. Nicely drawn and she is right in this.

Scored at her last two starts. Last start came home strongly from last on the turn and won by 3 m when driven back in the field, (Fr6) held up early, at Bendigo (2:39.20) beating King Saint in 0-4 WINS on May 28 at $6 at the bell was 8th-13.5. Hard to leave out on current form. The hat-trick beckons.

Expected to be competitive again.

Last start solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 2190m at Mt Gambier, beaten 5 m by The Tri Line (2:47.80) in NR 41 to 46 GROUP on June 3 at $2. Two runs back won by a nose as favourite (Sr3) at Mt Gambier (2:13.50) beating True Blue Rose in NR up to 45 on May 27 at $1.75. Form sound and expected to be right in the finish again.
