Two meetings to look at on Monday, with Horsham and Globe Derby getting my attention. Down below are your best bets for the respective programs.

Horsham

Best bet: Race Six Number 10 Keayang Ninja
For a Monday meeting at Horsham, gees, this Trot race looks quite strong on paper. But this guy does look the best horse in the race. He won a Group 1 as a juvenile so that alone shows the class he has. Looked great in a recent trial win and despite a wide, tricky draw, his class will get him home.

Next-best: Race Four Number 3 Lady Stride
Talented filly that resumes and I think can resume with a maiden win. Her two runs in the early part of the Autumn sees strong form lines, notably her second run when third in a race which included a subsequent Group 1 winner. Loved her recent trial, should lead and prove hard to get past.

Value: Race Seven Number 8 Kempseys Delight
He is a veteran and his best days are likely behind him, but he has such a good trailing draw to use and be dangerous at odds. Had a soft run at Terang last time out and battled on well when third.

Should be able to land leaders back, three back at worst, and 1×3 at odds, can entertain him as a bet.

Globe Derby

Best bet: Race One Number 1 Charging Bull
Getting the best out of the way nice and early via this three-year-old that has placed in both runs this time in, in stronger races than this. Drawn the pole, with the small field, he should have little trouble holding the front and from there, he’ll take a power of beating.

Next-best: Race Three Number 1 Major Mad
Looks a race in two but I think this guy will get to decent value. He’s a hard horse to catch but bounced back to his best with a dominant win here last Saturday night. I think he’ll take the sit behind likely leader and hot pot Power Pass, and look to get him via the sprint lane.

Value: Race Five Number 2 Sweetasis:
This mare is a hard one to catch but she does have a soft draw to use and with respect, she gets such a significant driver upgrade with Danielle Hill taking over.

Has the gate speed to cross the one, so should find the pegs, then get a soft run. 1×3 at a big price, I can speck her.
