Horsham Race 1 - The Weekly Advertiser Maiden Trot
HES RUNAWAY BAY (6) broke last start and finished 9 metres from the winner in sixth over 2180m at Terang in an inauspicious start to his career. Won't find this any harder so he can return to form. DALAHASTEN (2) was in the money at Bendigo two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 1650m at Bendigo, beaten 35 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. This is a nice drop in grade so he is in the right race to return to form. REDBLUENPURPLE (7) was unplaced two starts ago then things went wrong last start when he broke and finished 13 metres away in seventh over 2180m at Terang. Will need a bit of luck negotiating a very wide starting position. Meets a similar line up so if he behaves a big run is likely. I AM SKYE CHIOLA (5) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up over 2180m at Terang last time out.

Last start 5th (Fr2) over 2150m at Bendigo, beaten 35 m by Morning Dove (2:44.90) on May 13 at $41. Two runs back 10th (Fr2) over 2100m at Charlton, beaten 45 m by No Shenaniganz (2:43.60) on May 8 at $126. Unlikely to threaten.

Last start was well beaten into seventh behind Queen Of Sees at Bendigo over 1650m in a 3yo 10 0K on May 20 at $41. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 3rd (Fr6) over 2150m at Bendigo, at the bell was leading 0.78 beaten 19 m by Morning Dove (2:44.90) on May 13 at $10. Rates highly and looks hard to beat on best form.

Last start 5th (Fr7) over 2180m at Terang was 2nd-3.1 at the bell, beaten 6 m by Glory Connect (2:51.00) on May 18 at $23. Two runs back 6th (Fr2) over 2195m at Ararat beaten 55 m by Sister Molly (2:54.80) on April 27 at $31. This is tough and she needs to improve sharply.

Two back was well beaten into eleventh behind Coltrane at Ballarat over 1710m on March 19 at $126. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing second behind Glory Connect at Terang over 2180m on May 18 at $61. With even luck is a winning chance.

Three-year-old colt lining up for the second time. At debut then managed to finish sixth over 2180m at Terang last start. Will be a lot better for that hitout.
