Black Book: Horses You Must Back Next Start From Canterbury 10/9

The replays and sectional times have been reviewed from Wednesday’s Canterbury Farm meeting. Our analyst has picked out a pair of runners that should have wins in stall moving forward- headlined by a talented Waller mare that the stable have big aspirations for.

The Waller mare finally stepped out on the track after multiple scratchings due to wet tracks and bad barriers. With this in mind the market really disliked her and she drifted hard. Her 3.1L victory was only against moderate opposition after a couple of late scratchings due to the track downgrade and the time wasn’t outstanding. It was the words of stable foreman Charlie Duckworth that should be noted after he said that the stable rate her in their top echelon of 4yo mares, a list that includes Autumn Glow, Alieana and Lady Shenandoah. He pointed out the fact that she held a Golden Eagle nomination. She is going to need to win more races to qualify for that. A Saturday BM win looks the next step.

Golden Century

The 2.1L victory in maiden company suggests that he can continue to go through the grades only 3 runs into the prep. He will get further and the time was 2.23s quicker than the BM72 three races later, albeit on a much better surface.
