The Red Horse has placed in his last two outings, hitting the line well for a narrow second over 1400m here last start.

The four-year-old gelding will appreciate the step up to the mile today when lining up in the Elders Warracknabeal Maiden Place (1600m) and looks hard to go past.

The Bill and Symon Wilde-trained runner looks very close to a win and in what looks a modest maiden today, gets his chance to break through.

The Red Horse rates clear on weight adjusted Timeform ratings and with Jamie Mott, maintaining the ride looks the clear top pick.

Keep The Klass Was charging home well at Echuca last start and might have even won had she not been blocked for a run. Heading in the right direction and warrants consideration.

Has not finished further than 3.3L away from the winner from three outings and should also appreciate the step up in trip.

Bossa Nova’s Australian debut was fair in some testing conditions last start at Echuca. Fitter for the run and is drawn to receive all of the favours from barrier 1.

One to keep in mind here and is well worth including among the chances.

Hasta La Thomas Ran on well at debut for second at Naracoorte then on the speed and wilted badly for sixth at Strathalbyn on June 11. Entitled to another chance but has a bit to find.

Certainly not the roughest and third up is open to improvement.

Topography looks the best of the rest. Stuck to his task fairly on debut when a well held fourth at Casterton. Will have taken valuable race experience and fitness from the run. Has less convictions than most here and place best.
