STAY ON TRACK - SELECTIONS

Australian Turf Club presents a 10-race winter card at Rosehill Gardens this Saturday featuring the $200,000 Listed-Precise Air Winter Stakes (1400m).

It's a wide-open event with speedy galloper Whinchat the $4.80 TAB favourite ahead of Thunderlips ($5), Accredited ($6), Robusto ($6.50) and Green Fly ($7).

The rail is out 8m from the 1000m to the winning post and out 7m the remainder with the track rated a Heavy 9. Following a torrential downpour on Tuesday & Wednesday (74mls on-course) the skies should keep clear until Saturday with a top of 18 degrees expected on raceday.

This week’s selections: RH

BEST BET
Race 6, No.1 - HI DUBAI ($4.60 on TAB)

Saturday 5th July – ROSEHILL GARDENS

7. SOUNDS UNUSUAL ($8) was never in the race from the moment they jumped at Randwick but he was quite strong through the line at the end of 1600m, his fourth run at that trip for the preparation. Finally gets to 2000m and draws to land in a more forward position. His two efforts in the wet prior were excellent and he gets the right scenario to bounce back.

2. ELOUYOU ($8.50) has been to Sydney once and that was 53 weeks ago where he coasted home on a heavy track at Rosehill. He finds a similar set up to the one he found that day where he should be able to track the speed, hit the front in the straight and take some running down. Ignore his last start failure on a firm track, he was dominant winning his previous two in Melbourne and it’d be a surprise if he’s not right in the finish.

10. THUNDERLIPS ($5) has everything made to order for him if he handles the back up from his excellent win last weekend where he ran down a tearaway leader. Drops 4kg and gets back onto a wet track in a race that should be truly run with a few noted on pacers engaged. Drawn to track them and have last call.

12. SACRED ROCKS ($5) will rely on finding the right back to follow again as she did when running down Weeping Woman three weeks ago. She’s yet to see a heavy but she’s by Sacred Falls so she’d be a rare one if she doesn’t relish it. She was just so strong at the end of her race second-up that 1400m will be ideal.
