Progressive three-year-old filly who has placed in two of her three starts, finishing off strongly over staying trips. She was held up for a run last start before storming into third and should be within striking distance at the 400m here. The stable's recent placings suggest she is close to breaking through.

Improving three-year-old filly who has run her best two races most recently, working home strongly on a soft surface. The clear knock is that she settles a long way back, and Horsham is notoriously unkind to deep closers, so she will need the race to unfold favourably.
Has the best single staying run in the field, a close second over this trip two starts back. Drawn kindly and capable of settling handier than the pure backmarkers, which matters at Horsham. Her most recent run was disappointing when the blinkers were applied, but they come off today.
The likely leader from the inside gate, and at Horsham that is exactly where you want to be, particularly in a race expected to be run at only a steady tempo. He was a sound fourth last time after being held up.

Carlton Draught Mdn Plate
He has been placed in five of six starts, ran to a winning standard last prep, and should settle in the first three in a slowly-run race on Soft ground.
A genuine runner-up type who has been very reliable on soft ground and has the on-pace style Horsham rewards. Barrier 14 is the major concern and the step up to 1400m is a question, but if Cartwright can find a position early she should be in the finish.
A debutant with encouraging jump-out form, a handy inside draw and a combination that has won regularly together.
A consistent maiden who was second over this trip 12 days ago and now returns to a stable in strong form with a good barrier.

Priceline Pharmacy Horsham Mdn Plate
The clear form standout in a weak maiden. Cosmic Voyage was only just run down on good ground last prep, sits on the speed from barrier 2 and has trialled well at Flemington. That map suits Horsham's strong lean to horses in the first three at the 400m.
Strength Within looks the best of the rest. She is a sharp two-time jump-out winner, draws well and should sit handy, which is the Horsham winning profile. Her only race start was disappointing, but she has been given time and the Dabernig-Meech combination has a very strong record.
Tikiela has plenty of tactical speed, should lead or be handy in a field that lacks pace, and nearly won at Warrnambool on Good ground.
The wide draw is the main worry at a track where winners come from the first three, and the trainer's strike rate is low.
Place-only value, with a small chance of an upset.

Mackays Family Jewellers (Bm70)
She fits the ideal Horsham mould — on-pace types dominate here — and she has the speed to settle right there. Her wet-track form is strong and she was narrowly beaten last start in similar grade. Dean Yendall rides this track better than most. The query is the step to 1200m, a trip she is yet to win at, but her style and fitness look well suited.
Looks the class runner after chasing far stronger company last campaign, including a soft-ground win over further. She drops into this grade for the first time and her form lines are the strongest in the race. The concern at Horsham is her habit of settling back, where winners rarely emerge, and this is her second run in with no win yet at this stage of a prep.
Brings an outstanding 1200m record — four wins and eight placings from fourteen tries, and she charged late for second last start. She is honest and consistent, and the trainer-jockey combination strikes regularly. The knock is her get-back style at a track that rewards horses already in the first half of the field, so she will need a genuine tempo and some luck in running.
The value play. She is a front-running, soft-track specialist with a strong record at this trip and arrives in career-best form — a second and two wins from her last three. On a track where settling in the first few is everything, her on-pace style is a significant plus.

L & H Electrical (Bm62)
The only true leader in a moderately run sprint, and Horsham heavily favours runners handy at the turn. Her recent form is the most reliable in the field at this grade, and she has won leading at Moe.
A strong tempo could help but it is predicted to be moderate.
Will be near the speed and has the stable in good form at Horsham. The wide gate and modest win record limit upside but he looks a very safe place chance and a genuine contender.
The one runner in the field with a win at this track and distance, and he should be handy in a moderately run race. He stepped up well last start and has been placed in wet conditions.

Farm Frites MCC Series Heat 5 (Bm70)
Spex brings the best recent form into this, having won her last two including one over a similar trip, and she races handy so should be within striking range. The concern is the sharp rise in grade from much weaker races and an awkward draw, but her form and position make her a genuine winning threat.
Final Countdown has won her last two and her 1400m record is the strongest here, and she handles soft going. The problem is the wide draw, which will see her settle well back, and Horsham is unkind to horses who give away a big start. She needs luck but has the form to be in the finish.
Hedjet maps to settle right on the speed, the position Horsham rewards most, and he controlled and won on soft ground last time. He is lightly raced and jumps from a maiden into open class, the obvious query, but his run style and recent form make him the one they have to beat.
Stargust is the value. He is an improving galloper who bolted in over this trip on soft ground last start, and his wet-track record is excellent.

Manhari Horsham Cup
The most reliable form in the race. Placed in over half his starts, handles soft ground well and has already won here. He settles on-pace to midfield, so he'll be within striking range turning for home, exactly the position Horsham demands.
Has been running to the best standard of anything in this line-up and won nicely last start, sitting handy rather than far back. He is consistent at a good level and suited by the trip. Wet-track form is only fair and the map has him a shade deeper, but he clearly races within striking range and is a genuine winning chance.
The concern is the sharp step up to 2100m carrying 61kg on a soft track, and his soft-ground record is thin.
A wet-track specialist who will be prominent from the start, the exact profile Horsham rewards. She has won a strong Cup on heavy going and is proven at the trip.

Mixx FM (Bm62)
Won here over this trip and handles soft ground, which counts for plenty on a day that rewards horses travelling in the first few. He has the early speed to be prominent and his trainer's record at Horsham is excellent. The wide gate is a worry and he flopped last time out, but a slow tempo and first-time blinkers should help him settle right in the firing line.
Racing in great heart with three recent placings and a win, and he does his best work when positioned just off the speed, which suits the expected slow tempo. He has placed at this track and handles the wet.
Landed the prized inside gate and should be right on the speed, exactly the profile Horsham rewards. He ran well at this level two starts back and his yard/jockey pairing has a good strike rate. The big query is the wet track, as he has never placed on it, and he can weaken late, so he looks more a placing hope than a winner.
Second-up now, he should be fitter and sharper.
