Horsham Race 6 - Vale Greg Sugars Pace
RANGER RICK NZ (7) has placed in his three starts since a resuming win, last week pushing forward to find the front before sticking on for third at Terang. Draws wide but is race fit and won the only time he attempted this circuit and distance. KEAYANG GALLIANO (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 2 metres from the winner in fourth at Ballarat. Draws wider but this is winnable. JILPANGER ROSE (8) has done a good to place from tricky draws in both starts since a spell. Draws for a trail with the sprint lane in play and should be hitting her peak now. Last-start maiden winner AMERICAN SQUARED (4) could take another step forward.

Solid performance when beaten by 1.3 m finishing second behind Ozzie Daybreak at Mildura over 2190m in a NR 55 to 64 on May 2 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third after showing early speed, behind Tenaciously at Bendigo over 1650m in a 3yo 0-2 WINS on May 14 at $10. Rates highly. Ready to take the next step.

Chasing a hat-trick. Last start posted a big 21 m win as favourite (Fr5) at Mt Gambier (2:12.60) beating Joanies A Pearler in 2 Lifetime Wins on May 13 at $1.70. Hard to leave out on current form. Must respect winning form.
