Saturday May 31

Rosehill (tips based on a track rating range good 2 to dead 5)

Race 8 No. 12 Queenstown  

13 career starts for 4-5-2 overall, placed all 3 times when racing at Group 2 / Group 3 level last time in, 3 first-up starts for a win and a narrow second carrying 58 kilos, can overcome a wide gate by rolling forward.

 

Eagle Farm (tips based on a track rating range good 2 to dead 5)

Race 8 No. 2 Belltone

Usually a massive improver second-up (11 starts for 1-0-3 first-up, 6 starts for 2-2-1 second-up), which makes his fast-finishing 4th placing when first up in the Listed Prime Minister’s Cup when carrying 59 kilos look excellent, drops 1.5 kilos to this race, 13 starts for 6-1-1 over the trip, second to Boban (when giving him 2 kilos) last spring at Group 3 level over 1400 metres.
