The Watchdog says
? : PISCOPO BALE (8) is a serious prospect and from the good draw, she should be able to light them up soon after box rise. LEKTRA RHINO (1) has turned in some big performances of late and he should be able to hold MOTH ROCKS (2) out early or at worse, settle a length or so off him. He is quite strong in the run home and should prove too classy.


Multi price:

Group 2 Horsham Cup Final

? Horsham ? Race 8
? Box 8 ? 485m ⏱ 9:28pm

TAB fixed odds: $2.50 Win

The Watchdog says ?: The heat winning time for Group 2 Traralgon Cup winner TYPHOON SAMMY (8) wasn’t flashy, however the manner in which he won, was ultra-impressive. With a clean getaway tonight, he should be able to go through the first marker in a zippy 6.40sec and a sub 27-second run could be on the cards.

‘Must Watch Race’ Preview ?:

He was the slowest heat winner; however, star speedster TYPHOON SAMMY (8) looks poised to land his second country cup. He missed the kick in his heat and turning for home, he looked cooked, however he managed to dig deep and score a gutsy win. He should be able to assume control quickly tonight and look more balanced through the bend. AMERICANO MISS (7) continues to elevate her game and she should be in the top two for most of the journey. This is clearly her toughest test; however, she is near faultless early. BOSTON GARDEN (5) was clearly the most impressive heat winner; however, he did begin a lot better than normal in his heat and from the tough draw tonight, he will need to produce something similar. OLD NEWS (1) will need a lot of things to go his way in the run.
