Rainer.
Rock (race 5) traces up within the $750,000 ATC Rosehill Cup, marking his first time racing over 2000m.

The Workforce Hawkes-trained son of Pierro has trialled in between, approaching from nicely again to complete an eye catching third in his 1030m warmth at Rosehill eight days in the past.
SECTIONAL STARS
Mightybeel (race 2) has returned in profession greatest kind this preparation evidenced by the truth that the Chris Waller-trained gelding is on a hat-trick as he heads into Saturday’s ATC Fujitsu Common Handicap (1900m).

Persevering with to enhance with each begin and put his rivals to the sword at Randwick final begin. Drawn the rails, ought to get the run of the race and is the one to beat within the inaugural 4 Pillars.
VALUE BET
Equation (race 9) was being aimed initially on the Golden Eagle however he hasn’t fairly raced as much as expectations in three begins this spring.

On his greatest kind, $4.20 is overs.
THE JUDGMENT
R5: Rosehill Gold Cup (2000m)
Paul Joice (Sky Thoroughbred Central): “Assume It Over is weak on the weights however his tactical velocity and can to win can overcome the handicapper. Sky Lab and Lion’s Roar get their likelihood to show the tables whereas Gold Journey brings excellent abroad kind.”
Glenn Munsie (Sky Sports activities Radio): “The one factor it’s important to respect Assume It Over for is he is aware of tips on how to win. He has finished so at three of his final 4 begins and appears very onerous to beat once more right here from a tender draw. Will get a contact extra velocity on this than within the Craven Plate which helps as does a return to firmer floor. As much as 61kg however certainly has deserved it. Kiss The Bride, supplied ridden aggressively the perfect roughie.”
Michael Sullivan (bookie): “The 2 up the highest do look to personal the race. Gold Journey brings real Group 1 kind from abroad and has been simply the perfect backed runner with our clients accounting for greater than 50% of the maintain. On the again of that has firmed from $4.20-$3.80.”
Andrew Georgiou (TAB): “Punters seem like set on the highest two out there with a tick over half the early cash with Gold Journey and Assume It Over.”
Verdict: Assume It Over
R6: Classique Legend Stakes (1300m)

Thought each favourites in Masked Crusader and Eduardo have been entitled to be longer so eager to look vast. I Am Superman was wonderful behind Masked Crusader first up as an $11 likelihood and meets him barely higher off however turns into $41 right here. Very large overs for mine. Standout one other from identical race and is $26. Completely happy to play each.”

Verdict: Masked Crusader
R7: Golden Eagle (1500m)
Paul Joice (Sky Thoroughbred Central): “I’m assured Non-public Eye is the perfect horse within the race so at set weights I’ll go his method.

Glenn Munsie (Sky Sports activities Radio): “A real velocity together with Icebath confirming the Epsom kind in profitable The Invitation leans me to Non-public Eye. His solely two begins previous 1400m have each been wins and I can see Nash Rawiller letting him flop out the again right here and are available steaming down the skin. Can see as many as 4 or 5 eager to be on tempo right here from nearer attracts whereas a pair drawn carpark should need to press on. Exoboom one other robust finisher.”
Michael Sullivan (bookie): “I like Ellsberg. Began favorite within the lead-up however was unsuited when stepping again in journey. Peak figures are this course and distance and he seems primed third up in what would have been the goal all preparation.”
Andrew Georgiou (TAB): “Open affair with Apache Chase ($13-$7.50) being the most important mover for the reason that draw. I fancy Non-public Eye on the every method quote.”
