Our price $5.50 · SP $14.00 · Neil Farley

Recent 4th at Balaklava over 2200m suggests he's ready for this assignment, and his record at similar distances (3:0-0-2) is encouraging.

Our price $8.00 · SP $9.50 · Harry Coffey

Lightly-raced mare who is improving with racing, as evidenced by her recent 3rd placing at Gunbower over 1800m. The step up to 2100m looks suitable based on her last run, and the addition of a tongue tie for the first time could help her finish off stronger. Harry Coffey is a positive jockey booking.

Our price $3.80 · SP $3.70 · Neil Farley

While stepping up significantly in class is a concern, he appears to have considerable upside as a lightly-raced 4YO. The main question is whether he can handle the class rise.

Our price $4.00 · SP $9.50 · John Allen

Shout Me represents excellent value with a strong place record of 1 win, 2 seconds and 1 third from 7 starts. He won his maiden two starts back before a disappointing run last time. The booking of top jockey John Allen is significant, and he gets weight relief compared to the top selections.

Our price $4.50 · SP $5.50 · John Allen

Edges Diamond is a lightly-raced gelding with significant upside, having won 2 of his 3 starts. While he disappointed last start when 7th at Bendigo, he was previously impressive winning at Geelong. The class rise is a concern, but he's well-drawn in barrier 2 with top jockey John Allen aboard. The addition of a nose roll first time could help him focus better in this assignment.

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.00 · Linda Meech

Bine brings solid recent form, having finished 2nd last start at Bendigo. The booking of Linda Meech is significant, and the addition of winkers for the first time could help sharpen her focus. Barrier 7 is a slight concern in a race likely to have a fast tempo.

Our price $5.00 · SP $11.00 · Jack Hill

He's well-drawn in barrier 5 and the removal of the cross-over nose band could improve his breathing and performance. While he's unproven at Horsham and has limited success on Soft tracks, his experience at the distance (25 starts) and recent consistency make him an appealing value proposition.

Our price $2.80 · SP $3.30 · Dean Yendall

The class drop is significant and should offset the wide barrier, especially with a fast tempo likely to help her finishing style.

Our price $3.60 · SP $3.90 · Fred W Kersley

Guerite is a progressive mare who won impressively first-up and boasts a strong second-up record. While she's stepping up in class, she's lightly-raced with plenty of upside and should handle the soft track based on her record. The wide barrier is a concern but her tactical versatility should help overcome this.

Our price $7.50 · SP $16.00 · John Allen

With an excellent soft track record and the services of top jockey John Allen, he's well-equipped to handle the rise in class. His progressive profile suggests further improvement, and the likely fast tempo should suit his running style.

I Am The Empire brings the strongest recent form into this race with a last-start win at Moonee Valley over 2040m. The 7yo gelding has been racing in excellent form with a 1-3-3-4-1 pattern in his last five starts, suggesting he's at his peak.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.40 · Dean Yendall

Rich Champagne comes off a last-start win at Murtoa over the same distance and has been racing in excellent form with a 1-3-3-6-2-1 pattern in his last six starts. The 5yo gelding has a strong record at similar distances and gets in well at the weights with 55.5kg. Dean Yendall takes the ride which is a positive.

Our price $9.00 · SP $41.00 · Campbell Rawiller

Goldman represents excellent value as a significant class dropper from Group racing. The 7yo gelding is proven carrying weight and the addition of blinkers could spark improvement.

Our price $3.50 · SP $2.80 · John Allen

Ongatiti brings strong recent form with a 2nd and 4th in his last two starts, showing progressive improvement. While rising in class, he appears ready for the challenge and is well-drawn in barrier 2 to secure a good position. The Maher stable is in excellent form, but his lack of soft track form is a concern on today's Soft 5 surface.

Our price $8.00 · SP $15.00 · Harry Coffey

Wise Legend is a consistent performer with a solid place record (4-6-7 from 27 starts). While his recent form has been mixed, he has shown ability at this class level previously. Harry Coffey is a positive jockey booking who should give him every chance. The wide barrier is a concern, but the long run to the first turn at Horsham over 1800m should allow him to find a position. His soft track record (0-1-2 from 6) suggests he can handle today's conditions.

Our price $7.00 · SP $10.00 · Linda Meech

While his win record is modest (4 from 43), he's a consistent performer who gets in well at the weights with 57.5kg. Linda Meech is a significant jockey booking, and this experienced campaigner has raced in higher class races previously. The main concern is his poor soft track record (0 from 12).
