ROSEHILL GARDENS – BEST BET: Race 6 # 1 – AUTUMN BOY

He's a lightly raced colt with plenty of potential, and his two career wins have been impressive. The Chris Waller-trained runner resumes from a 77-day spell and has had the two trials leading in with his work past the post, having merit in his latest heat at Warwick Farm. He has an improver's action, acceleration and is a genuine line chaser with both wins having authority with the clock backing up his performances. The three-year-old maps to get his chance and has the opportunity to go to a new level with an anticipated genuine tempo.

ROSEHILL GARDENS – NEXT BEST: Race 5 # 9 – CATCH THE GLORY

She has gone to a new level this prep and has raced well/consistently at this track/distance all campaign. Further, she produced a career peak figure last start and was a strong winner, running time/sectionals. The mare is rock-hard fit, has a turn of foot, and with even luck from the inside draw, she can show her late strength. Additionally, she has a fitness edge over some of her key rivals and repeating her last start figure puts her in the finish.

ROSEHILL GARDENS – VALUE BET: Race 8 # 6 – SKYHOOK

He was a strong winner first-up when carrying a big weight relative to his rivals off the back of one trial on a very testing tack. The colt had the race shape against and made a long sustained sprint, clocking the meeting's fastest final 600m split with his final few bounds having style. The Ryan & Alexiou galloper can only improve on that effort, and rising to 1200m is ideal from a kind draw.

She has a solid platform and has been building towards a peak performance with the rise in trip, suiting third-up. The mare came out to win last start at Port Macquarie but peaked on her run, indicating she was ready to improve. She is suited under the set weight conditions, maps to have all favours and returns to her home track. Likeable profile.
