Horsham Race 4 - Traction Ag Mdn Plate
CARDIOLOGIST (6) has been a frustration for connections, going under as favourite at all three runs this campaign, but while it's been disappointing that he's been beaten he hasn't run poorly and only needs to hold his form to shake the life out of this. ELATION AND JOY (9) will be better the experience of two runs now, should be nearing peak fitness and has drawn slightly better than CARDIOLOGIST. ZURI PLATOON (4) will be better for the adequate first-up run and is drawn to get a get run. AHVEJAY (1) might be best of the rest and shouldn't be discounted for the wider exotics.

Had two starts to date. At very big odds at debut, 5th of 12 at Mt Gambier 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on March 21 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind She's Impeccable carrying 56kg at $61. Last start 6th of 12 at Naracoorte 3yo+ Mdn-Sw on April 6 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Smashing Action with 56.5kg at $11. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running a bold race.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last preparation sat on the speed throughout before fading 9th of 13 at Sunshine Coast Mdn on November 29 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Provance with 60kg at $4. When resuming last campaign settled back and ran on when 7th of 10 at Sha Tin 2&3yo Cond on June 18 2023 over 1000m, 12 len behind Ka Ying Victory carrying 55kg at $49. Runner-up in a Great Western jump-out on March 20. Might be better off following this run.

Second-up. First-up after nine months 4th of 13 at Terang Mdn-Sw on April 13 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Podargoni with 59.5kg at $21. Previously second-up second last of 12 at Geelong 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on August 9 over 1200m, 10 len behind Zloties with 56.5kg at $61. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.

Racing well. At the latest run sat on the pace when 2nd of 9 at Donald 3yo Mdn-Sw on April 7 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind From A Distance with 58kg at $2.70. Before that 2nd of 9 at Kyneton Mdn-Sw on February 18 over 1215m, neck behind Alletante carrying 59kg at $1.60. Definite winning chance. Only needs to hold form to be the one to beat.

Most recently got back early 5th of 10 at Avoca Mdn-Sw on March 29 over 1300m, 5.5 len behind Breezy Bon with 59kg at $11. The race before that second last of 9 at this track Mdn-Sw on January 28 over 1400m, 8 len behind Lady Prancelot carrying 58kg at $14. Fitter and capable of making amends.

First-starter by Finn McCool out of She's Someone. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Jumpouts only fair and prefer to let go without a strong market move.

Resuming after a five-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign tenth of 14 at Mt Gambier 3yo+ Mdn-Sw November 15 over 1550m, 6 len behind See De Night with 54.5kg at $2.90. On debut seventh of 9 at Hamilton 3yo Mdn-Sw October 12 over 1100m, 5.5 len behind Icy Pole carrying 56kg at $3.80. Might be better off following this outing.
