Horsham Race 1

Shelton & Lane Stationery Pace

Prize Money: $4,000

INSIDER TRADING (8) finished fourth last start, beaten 5 metres, in a nice return to form at Maryborough over 1690m. Drawn to enjoy an economical run and might sweat on the sprint lane. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a major role again. ALOOK TO LIKE (3) turned in a much better run last start, finishing third over 2190m at Mt Gambier. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar line up so he can salute this time around. CHALKNCHEDDAR (5) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1790m at Mildura. EL AWOMAN (2) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 2190m at Maryborough last time out.

Two back was well beaten into tenth after being driven well back, behind Zwick at St Arnaud over 2150m in a NR up to 45 on November 9 at $101. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Grinning Reactor at Mt Gambier over 2190m in a NR up to 40 GROUP on December 2 at $9.50. Progressing well. Expected to feature again.
