Horsham Race 8 - Sportsbet Horsham Cup Ht3
PAW XANTIPPE (7) is worth forgiving for her last effort when fifth (30.76) at The Meadows over 525m. Form at the trip sound including nine wins. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. ZIPPING COLUMBUS (1) filled the minor placings again last time when second (30.35) at The Meadows, making it three straight minors on end. Will go close here with a clear run. CRACKERJACK RALF (6) was unfavoured last start but led all the way to score by 2 lengths (27.56) at Bendigo in a Group Listed over 500m. Hard to fault his form and he makes plenty of appeal. DISTINCTION (3) has a solid strike rate at this distance.

Racing well without winning, recording three minors on end, the latest hitting the ground running with a fast early sectional but finishing in the minors again when second (30.35) over 525m at The Meadows. Boxed on well at the latest run to hit the frame. Leading player.

Poor last start but ran a better race two back when fourth over 595m at Sandown. Happy enough to avoid.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Geelong over 460m in 25.37. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when eighth over 500m at Bendigo at Group Listed level. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 600m at The Meadows. Will be tested in this company.

Good effort to win last start by 2 lengths over 500m at Bendigo in a handy (27.56), beating Dramatical. Boasts a course and distance PB in a dazzling 26.7. Must include.

Won over this track and trip. Latest effort finished 5th in a Grade 5 on June 6 over 525m at The Meadows behind My Mate Leo beaten 7 lengths (30.76). The form from her last run is stacking up nicely. Follow up.

Scored three on end prior to a close up fourth (27.94) last time at Bendigo, where he gave a sight after a scorching early split but weakened late. Would be better placed in something easier.
