Our Black Book: Horses You Must Follow From Rosehill 17/8

The replays and sectional times have been reviewed from Saturday’s Rosehill meeting and our analyst has found a classy debut winner, a Godolphin mare that fought bravely in inferior ground and a stayer in great form that looks ready to step up in grade.

Autumn Glow

The Waller filly made a huge statement winning a BM72 on debut. She settled off midfield and tracked up nicely on the turn before blowing the more experienced field away by 2.5L. The time was 0.93 seconds faster than the Highway. She’ll improve dramatically off that run and looks primed for a successful Princess Series, particularly stepping out to 1400-1600m.



Nanshe

The Godolphin mare has to be one of the unluckiest horses going around at the moment. She probably should’ve won her last 3 runs this prep after being poleaxed and still nearly winning at Kensington 2 back and being caught on heels at a vital stage at Rosehill before Saturday.
 
She got another lovely run behind the leaders Saturday but was forced to work home in inferior going the whole way up the straight. She went down by 0.7L where the winner was 4 lanes wider in the best ground. 
 
Stablemate Sequestered was held up on heels for 100m at the 400m but appeared to have every chance once out and ran on for 3rd. I don’t think there’s much between either mare but I expected the market to gravitate more towards Sequestered if they line up again next time, which should result in value in Nanshe.

Etna Rosso

It’s rare to see a horse settle towards the rear in a 1900m race and work around the outside of the whole field from the 1000m to the turn and then still blow them away by 1.7L eased down. He will likely step up to feature company over further but looks capable on the back of that win. The Listed Tatts Cup over 2400m in 3 weeks time looks like a great target.
