G'day Punters,
Rosehill on Saturday was a big day for the Black Book. Brave Xena, Savvy Spy and Horseshoe Hill all saluted.
But the results only tell you who crossed the line first. A couple of horses ran a lot better than where they finished, and I want to be on them next time.
These are the 2 horses I've added to the Black Book from Rosehill on Saturday 7 November.

1. CONGRESSMAN: Rosehill Race 2, Midway Handicap (Benchmark 72, 1300m)
Trainer: Richard Litt · Finished 4th of 13 · SP $6.50
A very good return after 133 days between runs. He was a bit slow to begin, but was allowed to settle out the back and covered extra ground from the wide draw. I liked the way he hit the line over the concluding stages. He can improve sharply next time over further from a better draw.
2. DONATELLO: Rosehill Race 4, Vale Rob Burnet Handicap (Benchmark 78, 1800m)
Trainer: Chris Waller · Finished 2nd of 9 · SP $2.30
Heavily backed fourth-up and not much went right. He began well and wanted to hold a more forward spot, but others kicked up and he was restrained. He had the tempo to suit, but made an early move he didn't need to make, while the winner had a much softer run. He peaks next time.
How to use these
Black Book horses aren't automatic bets next start. I check the race, the map and the price every time. When one of these is ready to strike at the right price, our members are the first to know.
Only bet what you can afford. Set your betting bank first and stick to it.
