Rosehill Black Book – Future Winners (March 14)
Horses to Follow from Rosehill That Can Win Next Start
If you want to stay ahead of the market, the key isn’t just backing winners — it’s identifying horses ready to win before they do.
From the Rosehill meeting on March 14, several runners produced performances that suggest they are set to improve sharply next start, particularly when stepping up in distance or getting a more favourable race shape.
Here are the key Black Book runners to follow.
SOUL OF SPAIN
A run full of upside.
He was stepping up to 2000m for the first time this preparation and was forced to settle too far back in a race that didn’t suit.
Despite that:
Fastest 800m–400m sectional of the race
Fastest last 400m of the race
His late work was outstanding given the race shape.
Next Step:
Looks ready to peak stepping up to 2400m.
FLYING FOR FUN
Still more to come.
She had a favourable run in transit but still powered through the line strongly, posting a clear career peak performance.
Importantly, she didn’t look like she had reached her ceiling.
Next Step:
Further improvement looks likely — worth following closely next start.
KING’S SECRET
Strong return with improvement to come.
He wasn’t pressured early and lacked the turn of foot of the winner, but his work through the line was strong.
This looked like a run that sets him up for something longer.
Next Step:
Step up in trip suits. Potential Stradbroke profile if progression continues.
FEDERALIST
Is he the best maiden horse in the country?
Settled well back and never really looked like a winning chance, but his late sectionals were his best work.
A run that suggests he’s looking for more ground.
Next Step:
Step up in distance is key.
PANOVA
Hidden merit in the run.
From a wide draw, she was restrained early but still produced:
Best 800m–400m split of the race
Strong late work through the line
A positive effort given the circumstances.
Next Step:
Ready to improve from a better draw over further.
MATIAS
Good return with upside.
First-up against fitter horses, he settled too far back but still worked home well in restricted room.
There was more in the run than the result suggests.
Next Step:
Further distance will suit.
LORD PENMAN
Forgive the run.
The wide draw made things difficult and he was forced to settle at the rear.
Despite that, his late work through the line was strong.
Next Step:
Better draw + step to a mile = can bounce back.
ENXUTO
The run to follow.
The market was right to be with him, but a slow start cost him early position.
Even so:
Biggest 800m–400m squeeze of the race
Fastest last 200m of the entire meeting
His closing work was exceptional.
Next Step:
With even luck in running, he looks very close to a win.

Across the meeting, the strongest future indicators were:
