Can she topple the fav'? - Rising Romance has drawn perfectly to turn the tables on Black Heart Bart

Markets are open for Group One racing on both sides of the border. BLACK HEART BART is a clear favourite in the Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington, while Waller's boom filly OMEI SWORD and Godolphin's powerful ASTERN jostle for the top spot in the Golden Rose.

Five early trades from The Analyst Team are shown below.

Kingston Town Stakes

BUY ALLERGIC at $2.6

“He’s one serious stayer that loves a soft track and had no luck last start. If James McDonald can get him up near enough to the pace, expect him to be much too strong late.”

Golden Rose

SELL OMEI SWORD at $3.8

“She’s a big talent and will be hard to hold out late, but from barrier 3 you can see the big colts making life tough for her. Might have to stay on the rails to make her run, which she has never succeeded in doing before.”

Theo Marks Stakes

SELL SOUTHERN LEGEND at $2.6

“He’s a serious horse and knows how to win, but stepping up to 1,300 metres second-up on soft ground isn’t an ideal set-up for him. Will have to surprise a few to win.”

Makybe Diva Stakes

BUY RISING ROMANCE at $8.5

“She’s got the inside draw and the tactical speed to get into the right position. It’s hard to knock the fav’ BLACK HEAT BART, but he will need some luck and won’t want too much rain.”

Rosehill Race 9

BUY MORE TO GAIN at $8.5

“The barrier doesn’t look great (he’s drawn widest in 14), but if they are getting OFF RAILS late in the day and the rain has come, you can bet some money will come for this guy. A serious swooper.”
