The time-honoured Group 1 Rosehill Guineas (2000m) is one of five Group 1 events at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday afternoon, where 11 three-year-olds are set to take their place in the $750,000 feature.

The Chris Waller-trained Militarize has been installed as the early +200 favourite post barrier draw, with online bookmakers quick to acknowledge the Group 1 Randwick Guineas (1600m) as the most traditional lead-up to this contest.

Militarize finished runner-up on that occasion, while the second market elect, Tom Kitten (+260) wasn’t far away managing a fourth-place finish.

Hugh Bowman makes the trip across from Hong Kong to take the ride aboard the James Cummings-trained galloper and looks to be drawn ideally in barrier two.

The Group 1 VRC Derby (2500m) winner Riff Rocket (+450) makes his return to Sydney after achieving a minor placing in the Group 1 Australian Guineas (1600m) at Flemington second-up on March 2.

Nash Rawiller is set to take the reins from barrier eight and is the beneficiary of James McDonald sticking aboard stablemate Militarize.

Training duo Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young send their undefeated gelding Immediacy (+750) to Sydney for the first time and is well-respected in the market after a dominant performance in the Group 2 Autumn Classic (1800m) at Caulfield on February 28.

The Ciaron Maher-trained King Colorado (+1100) leads the charge of those at double-figure odds, along with Cafe Millennium (+1500) and Ganbare (+1500) likely have some support in the lead-up.

The 2024 Rosehill Guineas is race six on the Rosehill program and is set to get underway at 3:15pm local time.
