A cracking program of racing will be run and won at Rosehill this Saturday where it is Run To The Rose Day. Here are my five plays across the meeting.

Bet One – Each Way – Race One Number 1 Mandylion
I think if you back her each way, you won’t be going wrong. She hasn’t won this prep but gee she’s been genuine. She copped pressure at this track/distance a fortnight back and that early burn just told on her late when third to All Too Soon.

I’m confident she goes close provided she doesn’t get too much pressure in front. $6 e/w is fine.

Bet Two – Win – Race Two Number 7 Highway Sixtysix
Just needs to be within striking range on the turn and she’ll be too good. Resumed over 1100m here in a Highway a fortnight back and she should have won but the slow beginning put pay to her chances, with Danny Williams saying that the ear muffs had her too relaxed.

The mare was flashing hard to run second to Common Purpose. If she puts everything together, she’ll take care of this lot. I think $3 is more than acceptable.

Bet Three – Win – Race Three Number 5 Renewal
He’s the best of the day at Rosehill. Team Hawkes trains this gelding, who was very well supported when resuming over 1200m here two weeks ago but his chances were done with after a tardy beginning, getting back soon after but worked home well late behind Don’t Give A Damn.

He has to carry the weight successfully and he’ll just about be winning. I think the gap between he and Don’t Give A Damn is far too great.

Bet Four – Win – Race Seven Number 6 Champagne Cuddles
Run of the race from the inside gate just about gets her home. Bjorn Baker trains this quality mare, who took on the big boys and girls during the Brisbane Winter Carnival and for the most part ran superbly but looked to race like a tired horse in the Stradbroke.

The trials leading in have been super and she is an absolute bomb when produced fresh.

Bet Five – Each Way – Race Nine Number 3 Eagle Way
I think he’s a solid each way gamble in the get out. He’s a work in progress for Chris Waller who ran well here I thought a fortnight ago where he got well back in the run, like he did first up, spotting them an impossible start but again worked home well.

Up to the 1800m third up, he should be ready to show his best. It looks like an ideal race for him. On at $8, which I think is fine.
