Ozzmosis heads betting in wide-open Group 1 Galaxy

There will be speed to burn in the Group 1 Galaxy (1100m) as a capacity field of 14 and four emergencies get ready to scorch the turf at Rosehill on Saturday afternoon.

Punters aren’t sure where to look, with chances strung out all over the page, however, online bookmakers have installed the retuning Group 1 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) winner Ozzmosis as +320 favourite.

It comes as no surprise as the Bjorn Baker-trained colt gets into this event with only 53kg on his back, as Rachel King continues her associate on Saturday.

Aft Cabin was luckless in the Group 2 Challenge Stakes (1000m) on March 9, and online betting sites didn’t miss his effort, with the James Cummings-trained galloper placed on the second line of betting at +400.

The Joe Pride-trained Private Eye (+600) also comes through that event but is now third-up into the campaign after managing a runner-up placing in the Group 1 Lightning Stakes (1000m) at Flemington on resumption.

Two very intriguing returns come in the form of Uncommon James and Sunshine In Paris both priced at +800 apiece.

The chances simply don’t end there, however, with the likes of Kings Gambit (+1000), Passive Aggressive (+1300) and Buenos Noches all having strong claims.

The 2024 Galaxy is the penultimate race on the Rosehill card and is scheduled to get underway at 5:20pm AEDT.
