The $10 million Golden Eagle (1500m) headlines the action at Rosehill on Saturday afternoon, supported by an outstanding 10-race program, including the $3 million Russell Balding Stakes (1300m) alongside the Group 3 Rosehill Gold Cup (2000m). The rail is in the true position the entire circuit for the meeting, and with some rainfall predicted to hit the course proper on Thursday and Friday, punters can expect a Soft 5 surface for race-day. 2024 Golden Eagle Day is scheduled to get underway at 12:10pm local time.

Russell Balding Stakes Tip: Bella Nipotina
It’s hard to be against Bella Nipotina in the 2024 Russell Balding Stakes. The seven-year-old mare continues to revel in her racing as she produced a career-best performance in the Everest (1200m) at Randwick on October 19, sitting wide without cover to secure a stunning head bobbing victory in the worlds’ richest race on turf. She shouldn’t have any trouble slotting in for cover from barrier three this time around, and with Soft conditions making her even more formidable, Bella Nipotina should prove too classy once again.

Rosehill Gold Cup Tip: Relentless Voyager
Relentless Voyager brings some elite European form down under and looks perfectly placed on debut for the Ciaron Maher barn. The son of Ulyssess hit the line well in a cracking edition of the Ebor Handicap (2816m) at York on August 24, and although he was beaten by 6.3 lengths, he finished close up behind the likes of Sea King and Onesmoothoperator. Both of those horses have secured wins in Australia before lining up in Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup (3200m), and provided Relentless Voyager can hold that form, he must be considered the one to beat in the Rosehill Gold Cup.

Best Bet at Rosehill: Left Field
The Brad Widdup-trained Left Field returns after a 140-day spell and appears ready for a first-up assault. The progressive four-year-old proved a model of consistency last preparation, with a win and two minor placings across her four starts as her only failure came on a Heavy track at Rosehill on June 6. Her two trials suggest she’s ready to fire here, and with a genuine tempo engaged, watch for Left Field to be barrelling down the centre of the course to claim her third-career victory.

Next Best at Rosehill: Elettrica
Elettrica caught the eye first-up over 1200m at Warwick Farm on October 16 and should appreciate the extra 100m to gather in her rivals. She couldn’t reel in the 3.3-length margin in an on-speed-dominated affair and looks much better suited getting back to the Rosehill circuit where she’s claimed two of her four wins in the past. Molly Bourke should lob into a handy position from barrier six throughout, and at the each-way price with horse racing bookmakers, Elettrica should give followers a bold sight turning for home.

Best Value at Rosehill: Poppin’ Champagne
Poppin’ Champagne drops back to BM78 company after giving a good account of herself in the Group 3 Angst Stakes (1600m) at Randwick on October 19. She got every chance to figure by Dylan Gibbons but was simply outclassed by the likes of Lekvarte and Quickster. This looks a far more suitable assignment on paper, and with the daughter of Written Tycoon likely to lob into a mid-field position with cover throughout, watch for Poppin’ Champagne to be bursting clear down the centre of the Rosehill straight.

Race 10 – 
#5 Poppin’ Champagne (6)
