Horsham Race 9 - Warrack Butchery
PAW PALMER (5) boasts a strong record this course with five wins and two minors from nine tries. Missed the frame latest (26.74) when eighth over 460m at Geelong in a Grade 4/5. Looks suited and should go close. DEEP THINKER (7) filled a minor placing last start at this track behind Miner Mick (27.62) in a Grade 4/5. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Leading chance. MEPUNGA INFRARED (4) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his scintillating win the start prior, getting around Mt Gambier over 600m in 34.60. Expecting another bold showing. MISTER MANFREDI (2) is right in the mix.

Eye-catching performance leading throughout to score by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at Bendigo, recording a slick 28.22 over the 500m journey. Harder here but worth including in multiples.
