Horsham Race 2 - Vhrc Cash Bonus Races Trotters Hcp
VANCE LANE (6) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 25 metres into fifth at Ballarat over 2200m. Perfectly drawn and is sure to prove tough to beat. SNICKERS EXPRESS (4) has been a bit hot and cold and that continued last start when he finished third, beaten 12 metres, in a nice return to form at Ballarat over 1710m. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Has the class to take care of this field. IM EDDIE (5) is the next best after finishing third over 2200m at Ballarat last time out. BETSY ANNE (3) showed pleasing improvement last time out when runner-up over 1710m at Ballarat.

Comes here second-up after a week. Lacklustre first-up performance when 9th (Fr1) over 2180m at Stawell beaten 45 m by Rastamon (2:45.60) on July 20 at $61. This looks a far sterner task.

Improved last start with a solid effort despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr4) over 1710m at Ballarat was 4th-6.58 at the bell, beaten 12 m by Moreep (2:07.30) on July 9 at $3.10. With even luck is a winning chance.
