First Race | 10:30am AEST |
Visit Dabble |
Rosehill is the destination for metro racing on Saturday afternoon, with a bumper 11-race program set for decision. The Listed W J Mckell Cup (2000m) headlines the action, but with a staggering 202 acceptors across the meeting, there’s sure to be plenty of quality lining up throughout the day. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and although the track is rated a Heavy 8 at the time of acceptances, sunny skies in the lead-up should have the surface upgraded to the Good range for the first race at 10:30am local time.
W J Mckell Cup: Waterford
Waterford is putting together a consistent preparation, with a win and another minor placing to his name across three starts. His only misstep came at his most recent effort at Randwick on June 8, where the son of Awtaad was unsuited by the bottomless Heavy track conditions. The Chris Waller-trained gelding looks perfectly placed fourth-up getting to 2000m for the first time, and provided Nash Rawiller can get some luck from barrier 10, Waterford will prove hard to hold out in the $200,000 feature.

Best Bet at Rosehill: Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha impressed on her Australian debut, clinging on to a runner-up placing at this track on June 15. The daughter of Dark Angel lacked fitness first-up from a 589-day spell but never shirked the task when asked for the ultimate effort, getting within 1.2 lengths of Amati. Amy McLucas takes the reins again, and although she may need to do work crossing to the rail from barrier nine, Ha Ha Ha should give a bold sight, provided she can pinch a cheap sectional in the middle stages.

Next Best at Rosehill: Don Diego De Vega
French import Don Diego De Vega will make his debut for the Annabel Neasham barn and appears to be flying heading into this first-up assignment. The four-year-old caught the eye in a recent jump-out at Randwick on June 14, making strong inroads from towards the rear of the field. His European form jumps off the page, with a minor placing behind the eventual 2023 Group 1 Prix de l’Arc de Triomph (2400m) winner Ace Impact, which should hold Don Diego De Vega in good stead for this BM78 contest.

Best Value at Rosehill: Fortune
Fortune represents terrific each-way value with online bookmakers in this wide-open BM88 affair. The son of De Treville has trialed exceptionally well heading into this, with his most recent piece of work at Hawkesbury on June 3, suggesting he’s ready to strike at the first time of asking. Chad Schofield should get the gun run from barrier three, and provided he can get clear running when straightening, the $11.00 available will look too big when the whips are cracking.
Best Value
Race 9 – #16 Fortune (3)
4yo Gelding | T: Annabel Neasham | J: Chad Schofield (56kg)
