Race 9, No.11 - TAXATION ($4.40 on TAB)
Saturday 8th November – ROSEHILL GARDENS
| Race 7 - 4:10PM GROUP 2-CINCOTTA CHEMIST HOT DANISH STAKES (1400M) |
|---|
The map says 3. MIRAVAL ROSE ($2.30) will be the one to run down and if she does get the control she appears she might then that could be a difficult task for the other mares. Strong on pace wins at Caulfield and Flemigton then favourite behind Abounding in the Tristarc at Caulfield. Jumps, leads and will be the one to run down.
| Race 8 - 4:50PM LISTED-FIVE DIAMONDS (1800M) |
|---|
1. TRANSATLANTIC ($2.70) is going to need a good ride from Tommy Berry from that outside gate but he’s the right type of horse who likes to roll forward. Always in control in the Prelude and before that beat Golden Eagle placegetter Evaporate at Group 1 level in the Toorak. Shapes as though the trip will be fine, especially if he can offset that gate easily enough, and is pretty nicely in at the weights so is the one to beat.
| Race 9 - 5:25PM TAB HANDICAP (1100M) |
|---|
11. TAXATION ($4.40) is a promising filly who made the leap from maiden to midweek grade look easy, and handled a wet track in the process, winning at Rosehill just over a week ago. This is another step but she gets in with just 52kg, draws nicely and just has that little bit of X-factor about her at this stage. Would be surprised if she’s not competitive.
| Race 10 - 6:05PM ROSEHILL BOWLING CLUB HANDICAP (1400M) |
|---|
9. FROSTY GIRL ($2.30) is fairly easy to find with three wins from as many starts and while she only beat three rivals when resuming she did it with authority under a big weight. She’s skipping a grade but gets a 3.5kg drop in her favour and if she can hold up okay from the inside gate and get into the clear what we’ve seen of her turn of foot will make her hard to hold off.
