Feature racing returns to Rosehill Gardens Racecourse on Saturday afternoon, with the Listed Rosebud (1100m) headlining a bumper 10-part program. The rail is in the true position the entire circuit for the meeting, and with consistent rainfall predicted leading into the weekend, punters can expect the Soft 7 rating at the time of acceptances to hold true for race day. All the action is scheduled to get underway at 11:35am local time.
The Rosebud Top Tip: Brave One
Brave One secured an impressive debut victory at Randwick on July 6 and appears perfectly placed to claim back-to-back wins. The son of Exceedance relished the heavy track conditions on that occasion, sitting outside the leader before bolting clear with the prize. The second horse has already franked the form line, and with Brave One going on to match motors with Gatsby’s in a recent jump-out at this course on August 6, the $6.00 available with online bookmakers appears too big.

Best Bet at Rosehill: Dawn Service
Dawn Service demolished his rivals at Hawkesbury on August 1 and displayed above-average ability to score by four lengths. The Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained colt justified the short quote as he made every post a winner, proving far too classy for provincial company. Gate two should allow Tim Clark to adopt similar tactics, and although this BM72 possesses more depth than his maiden romp, Dawn Service appears on song to secure back-to-back wins as he targets even tougher assignments in the spring.

#5 Dawn Service (2)

Next Best at Rosehill: Tom Kitten
Tom Kitten returns after a 133-day spell and appears switched on heading into this first-up assignment. The James Cummings-trained four-year-old underwent a gelding operation during his time in the paddock before catching the eye in a recent barrier trial at Rosehill on August 8. It was a smart piece of work by the son of Harry Angel, and although the 1400m may prove short of his best trip, the booking of James McDonald suggests Tom Kitten is ready to strike for Godolphin.

Best Value at Rosehill: Lord Of Biscay
Lord Of Biscay was luckless on Australian debut at Rosehill on July 20 and should’ve finished much closer than the 4.3-length margin may suggest. The European import was held up with nowhere to go at a crucial stage first-up, closing impressively when finally getting clear with 200m left to travel. His form overseas suggests the 1400m second-up should be an ideal setup to produce his best, and with barrier one to help Dylan Gibbons gain an economical run throughout the journey, Lord Of Biscay looks a terrific each-way play in the Rosehill finale.
Best Value
Race 10 – 
#15 Lord Of Biscay (1)
