Sale Race 9 - Horizon Battlers Cup Ht5 (300+ Rank)
GREEN FROG CAFE (2) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Finished second (24.81) at this track latest and might be close to finding winning form again. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings three times from six attempts. Must come into calculations. PACIFIC POPPY (5) was well off top last time, finishing 6th (25.48) in a Rank Limit - Restricted Win at this track. Goes very well at course and distance boasting two wins. Cannot be left out. JUMBUK SLOPPY (1) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Filled a minor placings again last time when third (26.26) at Warragul making it three placings in a row. Leading player again. TEASER'S BEAUTY (8) dominated last start. Sure to run well again.

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (26.26) at Warragul over 460m. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Nearing another win after his success on January 14 at this track over 435m. Last start was second over 435m in 24.81, behind Dr. Louis. Has run very fast time at this course and distance. Go close on his best form.

Latest effort finished last in a Mix 6/7 H on February 6 over 460m at Warragul behind Exequiel beaten 15 lengths (26.54). Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.
