Horsham Race 2

Worlds Best Hoof Oil Maiden Pace

Prize Money: $6,000

CARAPAZ (4) ran fourth last start at Terang over 1680m, beaten 11 metres. Big chance in a similar race. ALWAYS BENEFITS (1) is a three-year-old gelding by Always B Miki from Alta Calypso on debut. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Trial winner who looks above average. Will be right there at the business end. BUBBLE OVER (3) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 1680m at Terang last time out. Each-way claims. FRENCH PLEASURE (7) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish third at Mt Gambier over 1780m.

Two back was well beaten into fifth behind Majestic Cheddar at Mt Gambier over 1780m on April 21 at $4.40. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Remarli at Mt Gambier over 1780m on May 12 at $12. Can improve. Forward performance expected.
