The top 5 insights for this weekend's racing at Rosehill Gardens, from the Race Guide's Analyst Team.
Rosehill Race Guides will be on-line tomorrow at 8am
ONE
A Big Value Race?
"There just may be a couple of risks for the favourites in Race 2. Centre Pivot hasn't tried 2000m before and Koroibete got all the favours leading on a lightning fast track last start."
Australia Day winner - Centre Pivot steps up to 2000m this weekend
TWO
A Leaner Lady
"Oriental Lady is a talented stayer that often struggles due to a lack of power. She just can't sprint with the bigger gallopers and winning a 2000m race on a dry track may be a struggle in Race 2. Needs a Strong Tempo."
Lacks the power - Oriental Lady is efficient, but not powerful
THREE
Box Seat Awaits
"Most had Adorabeel as a horse that has to get back. She actually jumps OK and can make use of barrier 1 to get the box seat again in Race 3."
Looking for the box seat - Adorabeel could get the charmed run
FOUR
A Proper Turn-of-Foot
"Not many horses rate as highly as Delectation for a turn-of-foot. He's a monstrous sprinter that could simply power past the small field in Race 5."
Rapid speed - Delectation can produce some stunning sectionals
FIVE
Collett Called for Help
"Casual Choice is a big and keen sprinter that got away from the young jockey last start. Senior jockey Jason Collett gets on in Race 7 and could make a big difference."
Bit of bad luck - Pride hasn't had much luck lately with his sprinters
