Early mail and Blackbook Update for racing on January 28.
ROSEHILL January 28
RACE 1 (6) PARIAH: Always reluctant to fall into the hype about first starters but this youngster could be one right out of the box. He’s a $700,000 Redoute’s Choice colt. is trained by the Snowdens and has the look of a 2YO ready to burst on the scene after a 900m trial win at Rosehill on January 17 that oozed class. It’s a hot little field but confident he can measure up.RACE 4 (11) MADAME DE BAN: Yet another Matt Dunn-trained performer set to add to his stable's great strike rate in Sydney over the last three months, especially in these Highway races. Excellent effort over this trip under similar conditions last time and while she has had a 35 day break you can rely on the Dunn stable to have her ready to perform at her optimum.
RACE 8 (4) BADAJOZ: Ran up to expectations at his first start as a gelding when he resumed to beat Top Striker narrowly over this trip at Randwick on January 14, adding to the excellent record he has built in this distance range. Can only be fitter, he’s just 1kg worse off against Top Striker and the rails draw must be an asset for him to give him the sit in a race stacked with speed.Eligible Blackbook Runners – January 28
