Black Book: Horses You Must Follow From Flemington 5/11
November 8, 2022
Our form analyst has looked over the replays & sectional times from Champions day and has placed his list of horses you must follow below.
CHICAGO BEAR
An impressive and unlucky Australian debut from this former Irish horse. Racing Victoria stewards noted he was held up from the 500 metres until the 300 metres mark. He then hung in under pressure. Look for blinkers to go on next start.
CAPTAIN ENVIOUS
While he had no answer to Soulcombe’s finishing split he produced the second fastest last 200 metres of the race at only his sixth start. Horsham trainer Paul Preusker has found himself a Surprise Baby successor with this son of Savabeel.

She’s right back in town. With the fast speed on and only at her third run back from a spell it was no surprise she was run down by the race hardened Atishu. She should be hard to beat in the Ballarat Cup. The mares ran a faster 2000 metres than Zaaki did in winning the TAB Championship.
