The $60,000 Horsham Cup (2100m) headlines a competitive eight-race meeting from Horsham on Sunday afternoon. Unlike the rest of Victoria, Horsham didn’t cop the rain on Friday and in any case the Soft 5 track rating is likely to improve to a Good 4 track come raceday. The rail sticks to its true position, with Horsham Cup Day set to commence at 1:35pm AEDT.
Horsham Cup Tip: Station One
Having claimed the Murtoa Cup in his customary determined fashion, Liam Howley’s Station One can add yet another country cup to his resume. The natural front-runner boasts two wins from as many starts over 2100m and aided by the favourable conditions for front-runners at Horsham, he will be in this for a long way. Jack Hill rated him to perfection last time out and sticks on board, and despite drawing barrier 13, the pair look the only leaders on paper, and should prove too hard to run down.

Best Bet at Horsham: Perfectly Good
Perfectly Good broke maiden ranks in fine style at Wagga on September 30 when jumping cleanly from the barriers and leading throughout, going on to score by 4.5 lengths. The three-year-old gelding gains the services of Patrick Moloney on Sunday, and aided by drawing barrier five, the pair will look to replicate what the son of Super Seth produced last time out. As long as he is not forced to use too many carrots in order to find the rail, Perfectly Good will prove too hard to gun down once again.

Next Best at Horsham: Naval Academy
Naval Academy was a tough Mornington winner on September 29 when producing a strong finish to dispatch of his BM64 rivals over 1200m. The son of Justify steps into BM70 on Sunday, but from barrier five under Linda Meech draws to gain a perfect run in transit throughout. With plenty of speed drawn out wide, Naval Academy will have the last crack at the leaders, and should justify his favouritism with horse racing bookmakers.
