Formscan By Tom Weekes - Newly-licensed Robson De Aguiar runs four in this season’s opener and his yard might win it for the fourth consecutive year with FORCE NOIR, who is first-string on jockey bookings. Sold for E68,000 and E130 respectively as a foal and yearling, he is a half-brother to five winners, including a Listed victor, and while he encounters testing ground, will know his job. Stablemates Bull Shark, a half-brother to a Group-placed winner, and What A Girl Wants, a half-sister to four winners, were also each purchased from Tally-Ho Stud and could be capable. Equus Victor is out of a winning-dam who has produced a blacktype performer, and is stallion Blackbeard’s first runner.
