Comments: 3/3 yesterday returning a whopping $5. At least they all won easily though only Avoid Heathrow was worth backing.

The black book has been performing pretty well so far this year and there are a few runners to watch today. Caulfield 6-10 Stanzout steps up in grade again and will go pretty close. At his only start at 1400m he was nabbed on the line by Bon Hoffa. If that horse was in this race then he'd start near favourite. Eagle Farm 4-3 Slim Pickings went into the black book four runs ago and we picked him up at good double figure odds twice since. He was a bit outclassed in the Weetwood and from his wide gate was never in the race being given an easy time in the straight by Mandy Radecker. He'll be charging late in this. Randwick 2-3 Master O'Reilly has been costly latey but if he's ever going to win a race then this will be it.
