Our Black Book: Horses You Must Follow From Randwick 6/4
April 9, 2024
Our analyst has reviewed the sectional times, ratings & replays from last Saturday’s Randwick meeting & has placed five horses you must follow in our black book below.
AUTUMN ANGEL
Massive effort to finish second under the weight scale as she had to give eight kilos to the winner Good Banter. She also had to give between five and a half kilos and eight kilos to the rest of the field. She will also benefit from her first run the Sydney way. She’s going to be a good chance in the ATC Oaks.
ESPIONA
A sensational run from this enigmatic mare in the T.J Smith Stakes. Racing NSW stewards reported she was held up for a run between the 400 metres and the 150 metres mark and then when she got clear room I Wish I Win was laying in and she was reluctant to shift out around him. She was in front six strides after the line. She will be a big chance in whatever race Chris Waller chooses for her next.

MILITARIZE
Great effort to finish third in the Doncaster Mile. He settled forward in the run and was left in front with 200 metres to go while the others who raced on the speed dropped off. He was susceptible late when he was swamped by fellow three-year-old Celestial Legend who carried five kilos less than him and also the talented Pericles.
CEOLWULF
He’s an exciting stayer for the future. Again he went down to Riff Rocket but took significant ground off him in the closing stages. Next spring he should be a Cups contender and he’ll be meeting Riff Rocket on better terms in handicaps.
