The Watchdog says : ORSON DELIGHT (8) was impressive here last time out, and he exits the same draw today, so a top-two finish looks likely. THROW CAUTION (1) has panels on his rivals and he should be leading throughout. ROCKABYE BEAR (6) had little luck when resuming and he is expected to make amends today.

$2 Place – WATCH THE CLOCK
Must Watch Race
Grade 5 Final
Horsham Race 7
Box 2 410m 5:52pm
TAB fixed odds: $2.10 Place
The Watchdog says : WATCH THE CLOCK (2) runs into a few good ones but if BLAZING NENNA (1) can kick up early, he should be able to get a nice run through in the middle stages and hit the scoreboard in a great final including ZIPPING SCORCHER (4) and ACTION GIRL (5).
‘Must Watch Race’ Preview :
ACTION GIRL (5) has won ten of 12 and she went through the first marker in a blistering 10.08sec before stopping the clock in a brilliant 22.92sec in her heat win. The box draw hasn’t done her any favours but if she can carve out something similar to her heat run, they will have a hard time holding her out. ZIPPING SCORCHER (4) has won ten of 17 and he is armed with a breathtaking turn of foot once balanced. He went a little slower in his heat win, however he has the ability to push the 23-second barrier, so if the favourite happens to miss the kick, he will be there to capitalise. BLAZING NENNA (1) is back in form, while talented types WATCH THE CLOCK (2), RUN MACHINE (6) and BEATRIX BALE (8) all deserve a mention.

The Watchdog says : He is racing with confidence at present and from the good draw, he should get every chance to make an impact. There is a fair bit of pace in the middle, but if he can step on terms, he has a breathtaking turn of foot and that should see him hold the lead and boot away in the middle stages.
