From Edward O’Rourke
Horse: Ringerdingding
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 4, Pago Pago Stakes) It’ll be hard from barrier 14 but it won’t do him any harm, it’ll help him mature mentally. Hopefully he can slot in with some cover and go from there. The Group 1 Inglis Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) would be an ideal race for the colt.
From Kris Lees
Horse: Aide Memoire
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 7, Coolmore Classic) Aide Memoire is certainly better on wet tracks, and it’s unlikely she is going to get those conditions on Saturday. But she ran really well last time at Randwick and she has a chance provided the track isn’t too firm.
Horse: Danish Twist
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 7, Coolmore Classic) Pacifiers will go on Danish Twist, hopefully it will make her relax and settle better.
Horse: Just Dreaming
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 7, Coolmore Classic) Just Dreaming is jumping sharply in class, but she is a good mare who never runs a bad race. If she can get a nice run from an awkward draw, she is definitely capable of figuring in the first four.
Horse: Prized Icon
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 8, Ajax Stakes) Whilst the stallion does not have mighty mare Winx to contend with this time as he ran second to her last time in the Group 1 Chipping Norton Stakes, coming back to the 1500m is some concern. But the stable is very happy with the horse’s progress.
From Chris Waller
Horse: Quick Defence
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 1, Catanach’s Hcp) Won his last 2 races. Going very well. Tim Clark will be on board again. 1900m is his limit.
Horse: Sizzling Bullet
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 1, Catanach’s Hcp) 4 weeks between runs, the horse looks well and is working well. He would love a Soft track.
Horse: Zourkhan
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 1, Catanach’s Hcp) Loves a Soft track. Trialled like a sprinter last week, he’s nice and keen. 1900m won’t be a problem to him.
Horse: Multifacets
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 1, Catanach’s Hcp) The track & class could be a concern to him. Has been running good races without winning. Needs everything to go his way.
Horse: Who Shot Thebarman
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 2, Sky High Stakes) 2nd up on Saturday. Good 1st up run. He’ll love the Soft track. Has come back well, next up The BMW, follow by the Sydney Cup.
Horse: Libran
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 2, Sky High Stakes) Good run 1st up, and he has a good 2nd up record. The horse looks terrific, hopefully there will be pace up front in the race.
Horse: Mackintosh
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 2, Sky High Stakes) 2nd up over this trip is a bit of concern, but he did work well Tuesday morning. He would like to get the track to dry a bit to get the best out of him. Blinkers will come off.
Horse: Zousain
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 4, Pago Pago Stakes) His work has been good. Drawn a little wide on Saturday.
Horse: New Universe
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 5, Maurice McCarten Stakes) Drawn the inside gate (1). Though he’s racing out of his grade, he’ll run well.
Horse: Calculated
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 6, Phar Lap Stakes) Had a jump out at Flemington last Friday, came up to Sydney and settle well. He looks fit, needs to get him to settle because he could get a little aggressive.
Horse: Paret
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 6, Phar Lap Stakes) Drawn well and he’s been working well.
Horse: Egg Tart
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 7, Coolmore Classic) Good draw in barrier 3, handles dry & wet tracks, the horse is spot on. 1500m is perfect 2nd up.
Horse: Tom Melbourne
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 8, Ajax Stakes) Is going well & trialled well. Races well fresh, he’s a great chance. Will be hard to beat.
Horse: Comin’ Through
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 8, Ajax Stakes) A touch unlucky 1st up. 1500m will suit plus a soft draw. Has worked really well and the Soft track wouldn’t worry him.
Horse: McCreery
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 8, Ajax Stakes) Will appreciate the track but has an awkward draw. 1500m will be a big plus for him as will the Soft track.
Horse: Cellarman
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 8, Ajax Stakes) Has been a model of consistency this preparation. Down in the weight with only 53kg. Big step up in class though.
Horse: Life Less Ordinary
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 8, Ajax Stakes) Good fresh record, good jockey and a pretty good draw (5). Worked well & trialled well.
Horse: Jaminzah
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 9, TAB.com.au Hcp) Stephen Baster back aboard. 1st up run was ok, still carrying a bit of extra weight. Probably still one run away from his best.
Horse: Up ‘N’ Rolling
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 9, TAB.com.au Hcp) Unlucky not to have won 1st up. Blake Shinn keeps the ride. Wide draw on Saturday is the only negative but he has come through that 1st up run very well.
Horse: Wayanka
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 9, TAB.com.au Hcp) Has a soft draw in barrier 2. He needs a Good track to be at his best.
Horse: Eagle Bay
Message: (Saturday, Rosehill Race 9, TAB.com.au Hcp) A horse from NZ, and he has won 3 out of 4 this preparation. The 1350m could be a bit sharp for him but he is certainly one to watch out for.
