Our analyst has taken a look over the times & replay’s from last Saturday’s Flemington meeting and has a list of six horses you must follow in the coming weeks.

CINDY FALLS/IN HER STRIDE

Horror watches for supporters of both mares when they finished second last and last respectively behind Justdoit as neither horse had any galloping room for the entire straight. Cindy Falls was full of running but wherever Blake Shinn he was held up for a run. Shinn told RV stewards he should have won the race if he had clear room. In Her Stride also would have gone close.

MAOTAI

Former handy Sydney sprinter who made an impressive debut for Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman when he dominated the Benchmark 84 from start to finish over 1100m. Luke Nolen cruised home on him to win in a victory which impressed Moody. Stick with him.


LE ZEBRA

Not much went right for the talented galloper from the outset as he was slow into his stride and then was trapped three wide. His jockey Damien Lane then had little choice but to make an early run to sit outside the leader. Even though he looked beaten with 300m to go he fought hard to be only beaten 1.52 lengths.

RIGHT TO PARTY

She is in a stellar vein of form and should be able to handle a rise in class in the coming weeks. She sat last and then unveiled her devastating sprint where she reeled off the fastest last 400m (22.15 seconds) and 200m (11.37 seconds) for the meeting.


MY BROTHER’S KEEPER

He was suited by the fast speed set by Vegas Knight but he was also unlucky as he was held up for a run in the straight from the 500m to the 300m. He’s building to a win and he will be at his peak for his next start.


HOLYMANZ

Good return from this under-rated galloper. He was full of running before the turn but Mark Zahra had nowhere to go. He was held up from the 500m to the 200m and when he finally got out finished off nicely.
