Our Black Book: Horses You Must Follow From Geelong 4/1

Our analyst has looked over the times & replays from Saturday’s Geelong meeting and found four horses you must follow next start.

GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS

Game effort from this lightly raced mare to hold on for second behind a talented stayer in Goldenstatewarrior in the Benchmark 70 over 2400m at Geelong. Jett Stanley had no choice other than to push forward at the 1100 metres mark as he was trapped wide to lead. She then shifted out in the closing stages but fought on well.


HOLA AMIGOS

Signalled he will be in for another good campaign with an excellent first-up third behind Capricorn Star. The Wendy Kelly trained sprinter had trouble securing a run in the straight and RV stewards noted he was held up from the 400m to the 200m. When he got out he finished on nicely.


CHERISH ME

She debuted in the manner of a horse who is capable of winning a Blue Diamond with an easy win in the Geelong Diamond. She settled well and then sprinted over the top of her rivals in the straight to go on for an easy win. That’s the profile of recent Blue Diamond winners who can position off the speed and power home. The Ciaron Maher stable have a big opinion of her.


PHARARI

She didn’t help her chances at the start when she missed the kick by a length. In the straight Saffie Osborne had trouble finding a clear passage which she only did in the last 100 metres when she burst through the pack to almost win. She powered away from her rivals after the line. She still has a nice win in her.
