Top 5 Early Insights @ Rosehill Gardens

Published: 25 Jun 2015

Found the right race - Missvonn drops back in grade and can win again

More Winter weather on Thursday has 'topped up' the Rosehill Gardens track, making sure the track stays in the HEAVY range.

Wet-trackers will relish the conditions again and the bias is almost sure to favour those horses getting off the rails.

Ahead of the Race Guides going on-line Friday morning, The Race Guide's Analyst Team have listed their Top 5 Early Insights

1 - Long Run Home

The Waller stable often gets their gallopers to turn up fit and well on race day, their record speaks for itself.

That plays out in the form of horses that have a high LENGTH-OF-RUN, often setting off 500 metres from home and sustaining their effort right to the line.

Two-year-old LIBIDOSUN (Race 1) and mare BERRIMILLA (Race 7) can use that quality to win this weekend.

Keeps lifting - Libidosun is suited over 1,400 metres this weekend

2 - Three Horse Race

The 2,400 metre event on the card (Race 4) has only attracted a small field, but that doesn't mean you won’t turn a profit from the race.

Big question marks on disappointing imports GOSH and KAPOUR, along with the athletic DREAM FOLK’s need for a STRONG TEMPO (…which is unlikely), might leave us with a three horse race.

BONFIRE, DANCHAI and OUR VOODOO PRINCE can dominate the placings.

Trifecta chance - Our Voodoo Prince can sprint better than most stayers

3 - Ratings Riser

MISSVONN raced way above her benchmark rating last start finishing 5th to Reigning.

She drops back to her grade this weekend in a 1,900 metre Benchmark 84 (Race 2).

All she has to do is repeat her performance to be very hard to beat.

On the way up - Missvonn is going through the grades this Winter

4 - Perfect Trail

When you’re watching a race and you see your horse get the perfect trail off leaders that are rolling along at a FAIR TEMPO, you know things are working out well.

WELL HARDLEY EVER in Race 5 and MORAL VICTORY in Race 6 look like they might find the box seat on the Speed Map.

They’re both great each-way hopes.

Ideal run - Well Hardley Ever can cross with the leaders from barrier 8

5 - Hold Your Fire

A full field of 18 is expected for Race 8 over 1,200 metres, with four emergencies waiting on a run.

Early betting seems risky with the result dependent on how the track is playing at that time of the day.

In-form on-pacers TWO BLUE, MOHAVE and ALIAS are big chances if the leaders are hanging on, while KRISTY LEE, PRIVATE SECRETARY, CRADLE ME, TURBULENT JET and WONDERBOLT will be hoping for another ‘swoopers’ day.

Zooms home - Private Secretary has a strong finishing burst
