Horse Racing Tips for Horsham 18/10/26

Rick McIntosh heads to Horsham for Sunday racing with a selection in all eight races, offering punters a mix of short-priced favourites and bigger-priced opportunities throughout the afternoon.

All eight runners carry a standard stake, with no selection elevated above the others through staking.

The strongest market chances arrive early, with Courting at $1.85 in Race 1, followed by Best Terms and Cosmic Voyage, both available at $2.20 in Races 2 and 3.

It gives Rick three well-supported selections to open the meeting before the prices begin to increase.

The value opportunities come later in the program, with Miracle Spin at $5.50 in Race 7 and State Of Affairs at $11 in the final race.

Col Klink at $4 and Bazzar at $4.20 also offer attractive mid-range prices, making the second half of the card particularly interesting for punters chasing bigger returns.

 

Best Bet: Race 1 #9 Courting ($1.85)

Courting gets the nod as Rick's best bet at Horsham, based on the market.

At $1.85, the opening-race selection is the shortest-priced runner on his card and provides an early betting anchor. With all runners carrying standard stakes, Courting stands out through its market position rather than elevated staking confidence.

 

Next Best: Race 2 #1 Best Terms ($2.20)

Best Terms is one of two selections available at $2.20 and shapes as another prominent market chance early in the meeting.

The Race 2 runner provides Rick's next betting opportunity, with Cosmic Voyage carrying the same price in Race 3.

 

Best Value: Race 7 #2 Miracle Spin ($5.50)

Miracle Spin provides an attractive value opportunity at $5.50 in Race 7.

With Rick's earlier selections largely concentrated around shorter prices, Miracle Spin offers a chance at better odds before the final race.

 

Best Roughie: Race 8 #9 State Of Affairs ($11.00)

State Of Affairs is Rick's biggest-priced selection at $11 and provides a double-figure opportunity to finish the Horsham meeting.

The Race 8 runner carries a standard stake and represents the speculative roughie of the day.
