ASTON FANTASTIC (5) has a strong winning strike-rate over this track and trip with two wins and a placing from four tries. Below best last time at Horsham (23.56) in a Free For All, finishing a 5 length fifth. Rates on top and should go close. ESSENCE (2) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (16.64) last time out at this track. Has a good record here including two wins. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card last start despite being beaten. Expected to be in this for a long way. HIGHLY ABRASIVE (6) is in sizzling form lately, rocketing around Geelong in 25.66 to score two back then following on with a 29.63 win over 515m at Sandown. Recent form strong for this and rates a key player again. KNEE DEEP (7) profiles nicely over this trip.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2.5 lengths in 16.64, beating Taryn's Blue. Last start finished 6th over 300m at this track beaten 6 lengths (16.95) behind Field Day in a Grade 4/5 on August 17. Tipped to improve sharply. Winning chance on best form.

Missed the frame last start when eighth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Has ability but will need the right run to feature here.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Shepparton over 390m. Last start finished 5th in a Free For All on July 29 over 410m at Horsham behind Tanner Bale beaten 5 lengths (23.56). Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.
