Horsham Race 7 - The Storm Inside @ Alabar Pace
TORQUE IN HEAVEN (10) had a win at Charlton two runs ago before finishing second at his latest appearance over 2180m at Stawell, beaten 1.1 metres. Draws out a little on the second line and may need luck at some point. Taking on a better line-up this time but he good enough to play a major role. TACTICS ARE ROLLIN (3) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4 metres from the winner in third over 2180m at Stawell. Has the benefit of a good draw. Good enough to put herself in the winners' stall. MARGARITARI (6) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 2180m at Stawell last time out. BOND GIRL (7) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at Cranbourne over 2080m.

Didn't do much last start, 5th (Fr2) over 2180m at Stawell was 8th-15.1 at the bell, beaten 7 m by Five Cent (2:44.00) on July 20 at $10. Before that was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr3) over 1710m at Ballarat, beaten 30 m by Arzali Rockstar (2:03.70) on July 9 at $81. Has the task ahead.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fifth after being driven well back, behind Myrtle May at Maryborough over 1690m on July 13 at $10. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third after a quick start, behind Five Cent at Stawell over 2180m on July 20 at $8.50. Top chance in this line-up.

Not keen this time.
