Thought I’d start doing this for the punters who are looking to back something next start with confidence. There were a few horses from the weekend who are either ready to win or will keep on winning.
Rosehill
Stratford – A potential superstar judging by his awesome first up win on Saturday. Took out the Magic Millions Maiden on the Gold Coast at the end of last prep and although he won, there was no indication that he was going to be top class. On Saturday he pulled hard in the run, came from near the tail, was forced very wide on the corner yet cruised to the line to win by three and a half lengths yet he could have won by much further had rider Rod Quinn fully wound him up. Not sure if his time is now in terms of big races, but certainly look out for him in the Autumn when he takes on the big guns. Having said that, he’ll be winning races this prep for sure.
Wazn – 300m out, no. 200m, no. 100m out, no. But somehow, he produced a stunning final burst to grab Winning Glory and actually win in convincing fashion on the line. The way in which the import won reminded me of Makybe Diva’s unforgettable win over Grand Armee in the 2005 BMW. The great mare was giving the Sydney champ at least 10 lengths at the 600m and she looked as if she was was going to run a solid second, but being the tough horse she was, she gobbled up Grand Armee and ended up winning by nearly three lengths. Wazn won’t reach those lofty heights, but he’ll keep winning this prep. He is flying at present and is at his best when he is saved up for the straight.
Master Of Design – $2.1 Million purchase by the Darley team a few years back and did well for Lee Freedman before being transferred to Adam Durrant in WA where he was ultra impressive in his lone start over there before ongoing leg troubles saw him sent to David Payne. Resumed on Saturday and was an alarming drifter in betting ($3-$6). He settled well back in the run and the strong three year old Unanimously was set for victory until McEvoy let the blueblood loose and he stormed home late to grab the youngster on the line. The scary thing is that he was no where near ready in terms of fitness for that, and the track was rated a dead5, which he doesn’t like too much. Wait until he hits a bone dry track. A potential Group winner with the right conditions.
Caulfield
Snitza – Why he was at $10 amazed me given he was going to sit on the speed, he was proven at the distance and the fact that there wasn’t too much speed in the race. Froggy Newitt took the three year old to the front and after working early, he slowed up and got some cheap sectionals during the middle of the race before gradually increasing the tempo and being at full flight before the home turn because the thing with this horse is that although he hasn’t got a turn of foot, he will keep giving and that’s exactly how it panned out. Keep following him because he is in a purple patch and there isn’t much else that can challenge him in these middle distance races.
Carnero – Former top three year old who is gradually getting back to his best and is crying out to win. Was given a charm run by Dwayne Dunn at Caulfield on Saturday where he settled well back before he kept on getting cheap inside runs and after briefly looking a strong chance of winning, he was no match for the excitement machine that is Mr Make Believe. Keep on following him because a win is very close by.
Doomben
Solzhenitsyn – Former kiwi for Robert Heathcoate who has steadily got better with racing. Wasn’t too bad at Caloundra on Cup day, then on Saturday at Doomben he settled worse than midfield for Jim Byrne, he eased to the outside and in one, two, three bounds, it was all over. The margin was 1.75 lengths, but that doesn’t give a true indication of how dominant he was. The firmer the better for him, so hopefully the rain stays away, because he’ll keep winning if it does.
