After a change of day, six CHS Group Horsham Cup heats will take centre stage tomorrow night with some big-name greyhounds racing for their chance to compete for Group 2 status and $67,000 in prize money.
Cranbourne Cup winner Orson Allen headlines heat two of the Horsham Cup despite being drawn in box six.
Group 1 Silver Chief and Temlee winner, Barooga Brett has drawn box five and is the $2.10 TAB favourite to win heat four.
Cranbourne South trainer Andrew Paraskevas heads into tomorrow night’s Horsham Cup heats with an eight-hour drive on his hands and one chance – Nervous An Weird.
The son of Barcia Bale and Father Of Mine is the $2.10 TAB favourite in heat five of the CHS Group Horsham Cup.
“I am expecting him to be up in the race early,” Andrew said.
“The one (Zipping Captain) and the two (Hone In) aren’t notoriously quick beginners which should give him a bit of room early.”
“It is a hard 485 metre run at Horsham, and with the smaller field sizes it really opens the races up for dogs who are strong because there are less dogs to hold them up.”
Nervous An Weird is returning to the track after two starts at Bulli where he finished second to Pindari Express in the Group 2 Bulli Cup (472m).
“I went to Bulli with him because it was the ideal distance for him at the time,” Andrew said.
“He had a 400 at Geelong and a 410 at Horsham. I was just looking for a little further and the 472 at Bulli seemed a great option.”
