Our Black Book: Horse You Must Follow From Sandown 8/4

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.

BARBIE’S FOX

Smart mare who kicked off her preparation with a sound third behind Foxicon where she came from off the speed and sitting wide. She looked a winning chance but died on her run in the closing stages. She’ll be ideally placed in off-season races by Lindsay Park.

I AM UNSTOPPABLE

He could prove to be an aptly named sprinter. He’s still got a bit to learn but he had his rivals covered from a long way out when he took out the Redoute’s Choice Stakes. He recorded the third fastest last 200 metres for the day of 11.85 seconds without being pushed too hard by Zac Spain. Lloyd Kennewell has an exciting prospect in his care.

CARDINAL GEM

Grahame Begg has always had a big opinion of Cardinal Gem and he delivered in the Victoria Handicap where he treated his rivals with contempt. Jordan Childs knew he was on the best horse and rode him with confidence. He was eased down over the closing stages yet still won by 2.25 lengths.

LUNAR FLARE

Not much luck in the straight as she was held up for a run between the 400m and the 200m. Knuckled down to finish strongly to gain second narrowly behind White Marlin who was being eased up. No doubt she should have finished closer. Extra distance will also suit her.
