Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 22 Journalists Share Posted October 22 The Caulfield Cup and Everest meetings at Caulfield and Randwick took centre stage last Saturday afternoon, while Eagle Farm and Ascot held strong support programs. In this week’s edition of The Follow Files, we have zeroed in on two runners from Randwick and one from Ascot that are worth following throughout their spring campaigns. You can add these runners to your blackbook with your chosen bookmaker and receive notifications when they run. Randwick Track rating: Soft 5 Rail position: True entire circuit Race 3: Group 3 Reginald Allen Quality (1400m) | Time: 1:23.13 Horse to follow: Good Sort (3rd) Good Sort showed that 1200m was too short first-up before running a much better race in the Group 3 Reginald Allen Quality over 1400m last weekend. The daughter of Tassort settled at the rear of the field and travelled into the race alongside the winner, Aeliana. Upon straightening, this girl was going just as well, if not better, than her rival; however, she was blocked at a crucial stage and was only able to flash through a gap late for third place. When to bet: Chris Waller has nominated Good Sort for the Group 1 Thousand Guineas (1600m), but it is expected that she will have one more start before that race on November 16. The Vanity (1400m) at Flemington on November 2 looks like the ideal race for her. Race 6: Group 3 Sydney Stakes (1200m) | Time: 1:08.73 Horse to follow: King Of Sparta (4th) Peter Snowden and James McDonald combined with King Of Sparta in the Group 3 Sydney Stakes first-up, and the six-year-old gelding produced an encouraging run from a wide barrier (17). The son of I Am Invincible settled in the back half of the field and was made to travel three wide with cover throughout the 1200m journey before peeling out wide in the home straight. Although he was never going to pick up the winner, Overpass, King Of Sparta rattled home down the middle of the track to only just miss the placings by a head. When to bet: With no nominations listed for King Of Sparta, it is unclear where Snowden will take him next, but a rise in trip second-up will suit. The $3 million Russell Balding Stakes (1300m) at Rosehill on November 2 looks like a nice race for him. Ascot Track rating: Good 4 Rail position: +4m entire circuit Race 8: Group 3 Eurythmic Stakes (1400m) | Time: 1:22.36 Horse to follow: Super Smink (2nd) Daniel Morton will be hoping Super Smink can draw a barrier next start after the four-year-old mare flashed home from the back of the field to record a second consecutive placing. The daughter of Super One has jumped from barrier 14 in both of her runs at Ascot this time in, and she’s finished off with a blistering turn of foot over 1200m and 1400m. After settling at the rear of the field in the Eurythmic Stakes, Lucy Fiore picked her way through the field before getting Super Smink into the clear at the 200m mark to finish off strongly. When to bet: Morton has nominated Super Smink for the Group 1 Railway Stakes (1600m) on November 23, which appears to be the perfect race for her. Therefore, she will have to have another run to increase her rating, and that could be in the Group 3 Asian Beau Stakes (1400m) on November 2.
