Black Book: Horses You Must Follow From Hawkesbury 3/5
May 4, 2025

The replays and sectional times have been reviewed from Saturday’s Hawkesbury meeting. Our analyst has found a Ryan/Alexiou 3yo that defied the track pattern of the day and a 2yo debutant that will be hitting the winner’s stall soon. Â
Just Party
It will pay to follow the Ryan & Alexiou 3yo towards the Brisbane carnival after a fantastic 0.05L 2nd 1st up in the Hawkesbury Guineas. He settled towards the rear and was held up for a crucial 100m from the 300m-200m before charging to the line to just miss behind the all the way leader that was much better suited by the pattern of the day. His 34.06 final 600m was a whopping 0.32 seconds faster than the next best in the race and the overall 1.23.38 was 0.59 seconds faster than the older horses later in the day. The penny looks to have dropped after the gelding operation and there should be plenty of wins to come.
Hereaward
The David Payne 2yo is definitely one to follow after a brave 0.7L 2nd to the talented Aerodrome on debut. He led setting a hot tempo and looked a little lost running in and out at the top of the straight with nothing to chase. Once the odds on favourite drew level with him and put in again and they put a gap of the rest of the field. He will be much better for the experience and has a Saturday Sydney 2yo win in him soon.
