Black Book: Horses You Must Follow From Sandown 25/2
February 27, 2023
Our form analyst has looked over the replays & sectional times from Sandown on Saturday and has placed his list of horses you must follow below.
VOW AND DECLARE
Danny O’Brien has resurrected the career of his 2019 Melbourne Cup winner. His first-up second behind the in-form Right You Are, who he had to concede six kilos to was an excellent performance. He stuck on strongly. If he heads to the Roy Higgins Quality for his next start he’ll go very close to winning.

CALL DI
Slightly unlucky third behind Shuffle Dancer as she was held up with 400 m to go. She didn’t get a great deal of galloping room in the straight but surged home. She was strong after the line suggesting the daughter of Frankel and Samantha Miss will relish stepping out in distance.
ESPIONA
Only in Melbourne for her. She ran the fastest of the three 1400 metres events which included the Futurity Stakes. She ran away from her rivals over the closing stages in the manner of the classy horse which she has shown on occasions she is.
GOLD TRIP
He’s in for another great campaign and he will take beating in any race he contests over 2000 metres or further. He charged home in the fast run 1800 metres Peter Young Stakes to finish second behind his fitter stablemate Steinem.

MR BRIGHTSIDE
He’s flying. If he had of settled closer in the run he would have given Alligator Blood a run for the money. He produced the fastest last 400m of the day finishing off 21.60 seconds for his last 400m. He’ll be spot on for the All-Star Mile.
