The Group 3 Festival Stakes (1500m) headlines the action at Rosehill on Saturday afternoon, with a bumper 10-part program set for decision. The rail reverts back to the true position the entire circuit, and with heavy rainfall likely to hit the course proper leading into the weekend, punters can expect the track to deteriorate into the Heavy range at some stage throughout the card. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 12:35pm local time.
Festival Stakes Tip: Mighty Ulysses
The Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald-trained Mighty Ulysses represents terrific each-way value with horse racing bookmakers in the 2024 Festival Stakes. The European import relished the Soft conditions first-up in the Group 3 Moonga Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on October 19, going on to score by a half-length. The six-length defeat second-up may appear disappointing on paper; however, getting back onto wet ground will be ideal, and with barrier three allowing Adam Hyeronimus to stalk the speed, Mighty Ulysses looks massive overs at the $10.00 available with Neds.

ATC Cup Tip: Naval College
No one missed the run of Naval College in the Beauford (2300m) at Newcastle on November 6, where the son of Dartmouth should’ve won with an ounce of luck. The five-year-old had to check off heels on multiple occasions and didn’t see daylight until it was all over. Coming back in trip is a minor concern, but with the lightly raced gelding still possessing plenty of upside only third-up into the campaign, Naval College appears primed to claim his seventh career victory.

Starlight Stakes Tip: Our Kobison
It wasn’t long ago the Angela Davies-trained Our Kobison was in serious talks of gaining an Everest (1200m) slot. Things didn’t go to plan after a disappointing effort in The Shorts (1100m) at Randwick on September 21, with the son of Kobayshi failing to fire a shot before being put away and prepped for this first-up assignment. He’s well-weighted here with 55.5kg on his back, and with Kerrin McEvoy likely to land into the one-one from barrier five, Our Kobison looks poised to get back to winning ways in the 2024 Starlight Stakes.

Best Bet at Rosehill: Bullets High
Bullets High has been defeated less than a half-length across his last two starts, with his latest barnstorming effort coming up just short behind Dazzle Legend at Newcastle on November 16. Stepping out to 1800m should be ideal for the son of Ace High, with the four-year-old crying out for a staying journey after being the eye-catcher in his last two performances. Gate five should allow Tim Clark to take closer order, and provided Bullets High can get clear air at a crucial stage, the $4.00 available with Playup will seem like a big price when the whips are cracking.

Next Best at Rosehill: Jewellery
Jewellery returns after a 133-day spell and appears primed for a first-up assault on the back of two strong barrier trials. Her latest piece of work at Warwick Farm on November 19 particularly caught the eye, with the daughter of Lonhro storming through the wire under a stranglehold. She’s never missed the frame fresh, and with Adam Hyeronimus being legged aboard from stall five, Jewellery should get every chance to keep that record intact and send punters home with a winner in the Rosehill finale.
