Horsham Race 4 - Noel Smith Memorial Horsham Invitational Drivers Championship (1st Heat)

MISSMALACHITE (6) was beaten narrowly two runs ago then went close again last time over 1680m at Terang, finishing second and just 2 metres from the winner. Won't find this any harder and she can bounce back to winning ways. ESPERANZA (4) turned in a much better run last start when runner-up over 2180m at Stawell, beaten 1.3 metres. Her recent form is good enough to put her right in the finish. SKADI (3) was responsible for a better effort last time out when third over 1609m at Charlton. Should run a big race. DANCIN WITH ELVIS (1) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1680m at Terang.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr7) over 1680m at Terang, beaten 20 m by Doctor Go Joh (2:04.50) on September 28 at $31. At his previous start game effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 2100m at Charlton was 3rd-8 at the bell, beaten 8 m by Boss Major (2:36.00) on September 21 at $7. No surprise if he turned things around.

Two back was well beaten into seventh after a quick start, behind Torque In Heaven at Stawell over 1785m on September 14 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 3 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Shezabluechip at Charlton over 1609m on September 21 at $7. Can improve. Among the chances again.
