Our Black Book: Horses You Must Follow From Rosehill 9/11
November 10, 2024
The replays and sectional times have been reviewed from Saturday’s Rosehill meeting and our analyst has found a European import that looks to have plenty of scope for improvement and a 2yo debutant crying out for 1200m.
Modesty
There was a lot to like about the win of the European import in his 2nd Australian start. He settled one pair from the rear and reeled off a very quick 34.13 final 600m with a big gap back to 3rd. This was the quickest final 600m sectional of the race and quicker than any of the Five Diamonds runners over the same trip later in the day. Albeit in a race where they ran 1.5 seconds slower over the first 600m.
There is no doubt scope for further improvement the more he settles into Aus racing and also being from the Waller yard.
West of Swindon
The Hawkes colt is the 2yo to be following out of the G3 Golden Gift. He was a stride slow out of the gates and settled 5 lengths off the lead one forward of the rear. From here he produced a powerful finish down the outside, where nothing had won from all day, only to miss by 0.5L.
It was an impressive debut coming off just the single trial in a race where all bar 2 of his rivals had race experience. He looks one to follow getting out to 1200m, ideally on the bigger Randwick surface.Â
