Golden Slipper Day is fast becoming the premier race day on the Australian racing calendar with five majors, headlined of course by the Longines Golden Slipper (1200m), the richest race in the world for juveniles.
Here are my five suggested for the Rosehill program.
Bet one – Win – Race Two Number 7 Nettoyer
One of two good things on the card for mine, Winx aside. Wendy Roche has this mare absolutely flying at the moment and what she has been looking for is ground and a wet track. Both boxes ticked.
Should have won the Aspiration last time out but was wide no cover for the trip when beaten a neck by Karavali. Confident she turns the tables and wins. $3 or just under that is acceptable.
Bet two – Each-Way – Rosehill Race Four Number 8 Single Gaze
The price gap between herself and Gailo Chop is just far too great. This mare hasn’t won for just under 12 months but I reckon her last six months have been unbelievable against the best of the best outside Winx.
Three runs back this time in have been super, the latest coming in the Australian Cup where the bias probably beat her in the end yet she still produced some of the fastest splits of the race in the quicksand behind Harlem. 2000m, back home in Sydney, wet track, hard fit and in form, she’ll do me.
Bet three – Win – Rosehill Race Seven Number 10 Sunlight
Gravitating to the best horse in the race which, in my humble, is Sunlight. She is just a bomb proof filly for Tony McEvoy. She can handle wet or dry, she can sit off the pace, she can lead, she’s strong at the end of a hard 1200m and she is two for two at Rosehill.
And yes, her Magic Night win last Saturday was slower than that of Written By but condition-wise, Sunlight looked bigger than what she did in the Silver Slipper. Can’t go past her.
Bet four – Win – Rosehill Race Eight Number 2 Jungle Edge
Can’t believe $8 was offered at the weekend for this all in given the wet track and his resumption. His run first up in the Challenge behind Redzel was unbelievable.
Mick Bell had done very little with the horse prior to resuming in that race at Randwick, where the track was rock hard, something the horse hates, yet he chased a hot speed and still fought on strongly to run second. Wet track, 1100m, on speed, tough…he’ll do me.
Bet five – Win – Rosehill Race Nine Number 3 Sugar Bella
She’s the ideal get out horse. Her win first up in the Wenona Girl a fortnight back was simply unbelievable. Had no right to win given she was first up, was back last in a slowly run affair, yet still rattled off a sub 33 split to nab them on the line.
Remaining at 1200m a query, but they will go hard, so she’ll get her chance to launch. $3-$3.50 is acceptable.
