Our Black Book: Horses You Must Follow From Moonee Valley 10/8

Our analyst has taken a look over the times & replays from last Saturday’s Moonee Valley meeting and has a list of four horses you must follow in the coming weeks.

LAST DRUID/DIAMOND FIRETAIL

It was hard to miss the finishing burst of Last Druid who after being restrained back to last in the early stages charged home to finish second behind Blue Stratum in the 1000m 2yo race. He recorded the fastest last 200m of the meeting getting home in 11.63 seconds. His stablemate Diamond Firetail was last on straightening and she also finished strongly with a last 200m of 11.67 seconds.


BIG ME

Former Hong Kong galloper who went down narrowly to Cavallo Rampante at The Valley. He began awkwardly and was raced closer to the rails which was inferior ground. His jockey Jamie Mott had no choice but to end up there as he drew in and that’s where the run presented itself. In the finish he went down to a swooper in a head bobbing finish. He’s got a win coming shortly.

POINT KING

Former Irish galloper having his second Australian start and his first for Anthony and Sam Freedman and he treated his rivals with disdain in the closing stages of the Benchmark 100 2000m event. Jamie Kah was impressed and suggested he also switched off when he was in front. He’s down in the weights and well worth staying with.


EXTRATWO

Sound return to racing from The Valley specialist finishing on strongly to finish second behind Home Rule. She settled mid-field but didn’t pick up before the turn when Celine Gaudray tried to get on the back of Home Rule. When she balanced up in the straight she got home in good style.
