Top 5 Early Insights @ Rosehill Gardens

Published: 10 Sep 2015

Ready to rock at 'Rosey' - God's In Him is a strapping type suited to the Western Sydney track

Clear skys and a dry Rosehill Gardens track are forecast for Golden Rose day this weekend, setting the scene for some big showdowns.

Godolphin's EXOSPHERE takes on Chris Waller's PRESS STATEMENT in the feature race, while crowd favourite CATKINS will be fighting hard against the dynamic BOUNDING in the Shiraco Stakes for mares.

The Race Guide's Analyst Team have listed their Top 5 Early Insights below to help you find some early value.

1 - Value in the Press

We don't often mention Bookies deals in this post, but when bonus bets are offered in a 'two horse race' it's too hard to resist.

PRESS STATEMENT finds much more suitable conditions this weekend; the extra 200 metres, drying track and 1kg less in weight can help him turn the tables on EXOSPHERE.

And Luxbet are adding a $100 bonus bet to your winnings if he gets the prize. Hard to say no to!

Classy colts - Press Statement can turn the tables on Exosphere this weekend

2 - Power Reigns at Rosehill

A dry Rosehill track is the perfect surface for the more powerful types to reach their peak. It's flat and fast, the more efficient gallopers are often left floundering in their wake.

GOOD PROJECT (Race 4), BOUNDING (Race 5), CATKINS (Race 5), HEART TESTA (Race 7) and GOD'S IN HIM (Race 8) can all be expected to race well.

Horses like DUCCIO (Race 1), NAZCA (Race 3), ANYAAS (Race 4), SUPARA (Race 5), RAGEESE (Race 6), NINTH LEGION (Race 7), DOWDSTOWN CHARLIE (Race 8) and NANCY (Race 8) might lack the power needed to win.

• TESTASHADOW $16 with CrownBet

Brave, but too small? - Nancy goes around at a short price this weekend

3 - Tough as Oak

Bjorn Baker's High Chaparral Gelding HERNE'S OAK has always been very genuine in his races.

He can push forward and fight hard to the line, qualities that make him tough to beat every time he goes around.

Stepping up to 1,800 metres this weekend looks ideal.

• ARTIBAI $5 with Luxbet
• MARENOSTRO $6 with CrownBet
• HERNE'S OAK $6 with CrownBet
• DUCCIO $6.5 with CrownBet
• SLIVOVITZ $12 with CrownBet

Well placed - Herne's Oak finds the right race this weekend to break through for a city win

4 - Weighted to Win

On weights and handicap ratings, the Kingston Town Stakes is between the top three; SILVERBALL, FOUNDRY and KINGDOMS.

Add to the mix the fact that Waller's grey is peaking third-up on his home track and he is clearly the one to beat.

Lethal combination - Brenton Avdulla and Silverball team up again this weekend

5 - Place Bet Strategies

We got a lot of feedback about the success of place betting strategies, it's a great way to invest for the more consistent and reliable types.

Putting CATKINS and PRESS STATEMENT in a place all-up is a great way to get a return this weekend. It's hard to see either of them being far from the finish.
