Horsham Race 4 - Vale Jim Wright
PYRENEES EXPRESS (2) is better than last start when fourth (23.84) in a Grade 7 at this track over 410m. Can bounce back. MANTIS BALE (8) was game in defeat when finished in the minors last start over the 400m at Geelong, running a slick 22.54 in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win. Has the ability and can measure up. STARLORD BALE (1) looks close to another win after finishing third last time (23.78) in a Grade 7 at this track. Expected to be in the finish again. SAFFRON MONSOON (7) cannot be dismissed although new to this venue.

Form has tapered off a little since recording maiden win three back at this track. Placed two back then finished a 6 length fourth (23.84) at this track. Expected to feature on best form.

Did a good job two starts back at Warrnambool to win by 2.75 lengths in 22.21, beating Juno Usko. Last start finished 4th over 400m at Geelong beaten 7 lengths (22.96) behind Aston National in a Mix 6/7 on July 24. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Did a good job two starts back at Mt Gambier to win by a nose in 18.30, beating Pick A Cadillac. Last start finished last in a T3 Grade 7 on July 25 over 390m at Ballarat behind Ready For Action beaten 13 lengths (23.34). Better off looking to others.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 2.25 lengths over 460m at Geelong in a handy 26.00, beating Carpark Babe. Has hit winning form and can go on with it.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 22.54 over 400m at Geelong. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last time. Follow up.
