The $500,000 Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) is shaping as an ANZAC battle with the New Zealand raiders looking to steal another Australian Group 1 race. Join us for commentary and tips before the race start time at 3:10pm AEDT.

Happy to take on Preferment and Hampton Court who simply don’t look ready for this race.

With another small field that makes it a battle between Hallowed Crown, Sweynesse and the New Zealanders.

Hallowed Crown is the current favourite and at $2.70 and untried at the distance could be a big unknown. Has only been beaten once in seven starts and is the form horse from Australia in this race, take on trust but he just isn’t for me.

Sweynesse hasn’t been able to overturn the tables on Hallowed Crown in two starts back from a spell. Has placed at the distance which could possibly be an advantage, at $2.70 I’m happy to take on.

Volkstok’n’barrell could go for days hasn’t raced at the distance but has placed twice behind Mongolian Khan over the 2100m and 2400m distance. The last start in the NZ Derby he looked to have put his rival away before Mongolian Khan fought back well to win.

Going for six wins in a row is Mongolian Khan. Has only been defeated once in his second race over the 1400m distance. He looks right for this with one win from one start over the distance.

Is tough as nails and $6 for him looks a really good quote.
