Sale Race 10 - Horizon Battlers Cup Ht6 (300+ Rank)
MINTER BLINDER (3) was prominent early from the tricky draw and did a fair job to be beaten 4.5 lengths into third (24.91) at this track in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win over 435m. One of the contenders. COLLINDA DOUGIE (1) was well in the market last time but only managed seventh (26.21), beaten 8 lengths. Finished second the start before. Has ability and can atone. SODA TURKEY (2) was safely held last time out, finishing fifth at this track over 435m behind Challenger (25.23) in a Rank Limit - Grade 5. Has the ability to give this a shake. LITTLE THIEF (8) scored last time and can measure up again.

Eye-catching performance showing plenty of speed to post a big 4.5 lengths victory in a Bottom Up - Grade 5 last start at Shepparton, clocking a fast 22.16 over the 390m trip. In form and must include in calculations at odds.
