SWEETKINDOFMAGIC (7) opened his career in the best possible manner last start, scoring by 15 metres as a hot favourite at Horsham. Has to negotiate a very wide starting position but has plenty of upside. BETTOR BRILLIANCE (2) recorded yet another strong performance when she battled on last week for her third successive runner-up result at this venue. Draws for another good showing. STUDLEIGH SUNRISE (5) should be at her peak now and was far from disgraced when drawn on the back line last start. HESKOALATEE (9) draws for a trail and is worth including after he came from wider on this row and finished runner-up at Young two weeks ago.
