Horsham Race 5 - On-Site Engineering
MAXIMUM PENALTY (7) was responsible for a modest effort most recently when seventh at Ballarat over 450m behind Corban Yaxley (26.00) in a Restricted WIN H. Was a winner prior to that. Ready to return to form. MY NAME'S EDEN (2) has been in the money at his last two runs, most recently when second (25.48) in a Grade 5 over 450m at Warrnambool. Can improve sharply here. MELVIN BALE (8) was out of the placings last time but shapes well for this on his strong win a few runs back, getting around The Meadows over 525m in 30.09. Expected to feature on best figures. STAR REBEL (6) is not to be discarded.

Missed the frame last start when a 5.5 lengths fifth (25.68) at Ballarat. Previous form sound including a win three back at Geelong. Rates well on best and expect a better run this time.

Was out of placings last time (25.75) at Warrnambool in a Grade 5 FIN, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.
