BEST BET
ARTPARK (Race 6 No.8): Won three back at Swan Hill and raced competitively in stronger grade since – going from a Benchmark 58 to 78 and 70 albeit fillies and mares restricted races. Against the boys here but hard to hold out on recent form.
â â â â â
NEXT BEST
COUSINS DAY (Race 2 No.9): Drawn wide but nothing Horsham's own Dean Yendall cannot navigate. The Symon Wilde-trained Cousins Day placed second on debut at Warrnambool last month and should go one better here.
â â â â â
VALUE BET
SARDONIAN (Race 4 No.3): Form reference early on the card through Cousins Day (Race 2), the horse Sardonian defeated last start at Warrnambool. Up in weight and distance but has good each-way claims.
FRENCH SAVOY (Race 7 No.6): Track and distance winner last start and could go on with the job now. Has race fitness edge on key rivals.

THE JOCKEY – DEAN YENDALL
The veteran hoop has five excellent winning chances at Horsham on Monday. COUSINS DAY (Race 2 No.9 – $2.40), CHAMPAGNE JENNI (Race 3 No.8 – $1.65), TAPERED (Race 4 No.8 – $12), ARTPARK (Race 6 No.8 – $4) and BANCOORA (Race 7 No.3 – $3.90).
