Smart move - Trainer Matthew Smith's mare Frill Seeking is up in distance and down in weight
A Group 3 Weight-for-Age contest down in Melbourne spices up an otherwise cold Winter day of racing this Saturday. Caulfield and Rosehill Gardens host the main city meetings on what could be wet tracks.
Ahead of The Race Guides going on-line Friday 9am, check out the top 5 early insights below.
No. 1 Winter Lotto
"The feature Winter Stakes at Rosehill Gardens is a very open affair with not much between all ten runners on our ratings. NINTH LEGION is flying but doesn't want the track too wet, while the other fav' OXFORD POET often finds one better. Betting wide could be the right play."

No.2 Last Man Standing
"Looking through the Guide for Race 7 at Rosehill Gardens doesn't throw up a lot of chances. In fact EL SASSO, PAINTE and GRANDE PUNTO are the only three gallopers with wet track form over 1,200 metres. EL SASSO's big finishing surge up in distance is the way to go."

No. 3 The Gun Run
"Backing apprentices during these winter months can pay big dividends, especially when they've got a straight-forward ride. Mare FRILL SEEKING has performed well under an apprentice before and is drawn to get the box seat run from barrier 2. Andrew Adkins can get the job done."

No. 4 Sticking With Class
"In Melbourne, the Group 3 Sir John Monash Stakes has attracted an unspectacular field. Top-weight FAST'N'ROCKING is the only horse in the race with regular Group-level ratings in Australia. If swoopers can win, he's the one to beat."

No. 5 Second-up Specialist
"Race 7 at Caulfield has lots of the usual suspects lining up again, which makes the class runner HOSTING attractive after a solid first-up effort. A horse with a record of 6 starts for 2 wins and 3 placings second-up. Expect the odds to firm later in the week."
