Randwick Blackbookers and horses to follow from August 10

The Kembla Grange-based galloper was fresh off a 20-week spell on Saturday where Nash Rawiller rode him a treat, seeing him beat all but the winner home in the end.

Settling better than mid-field, one off the fence with cover, he peeled off heels on the turn and set sail after the leaders where he was spotting them five lengths as they straightened.

A lack of race fitness was all that prevented him from saluting as he hit the line just over a length behind the winner, taking ground off him over the final 200m.

Already a winner when second-up, he will be looking for a little further next time and should give us a bold sight.

The Rosehill-based mare resumed off a 17-week spell on Saturday and turned plenty of heads as she came within a whisker of rolling red-hot race-favourite, Schwarz in this Group 2 event.

Kerrin McEvoy settled her last of the nine runners where he played the waiting game and showing a ton of patience, left it to thew last possible moment before letting her loose when she rattled home to finish just a neck from victory in the Missile Stakes.

The four-year-old has won second-up previously but will be looking for more ground from here on so keep her safe for now.

The Chris Waller-trained galloper was resuming off a four-month absence when he beat all but one home on Saturday and should have finished a lot closer.

Nash Rawiller settled him three pairs back, one off the fence to the turn.

He then fanned a little wider but was then inconvenienced by his stablemate (Aramco) who laid out, pushing him further off the track.

Rawiller had to stop riding him and re-balance the Almanzor gelding, costing him plenty of momentum and any chance of winning.

Last year’s Victoria Derby winner looks to have returned in good touch and should show us a profit in the months ahead so stick with him for now.
