STAY ON TRACK - SELECTIONS

It's a 10-race winter card at Rosehill Gardens this Saturday with big fields throughout, highlighted by the $200,000 Listed-Cincotta Chemist Winter Cup (2400m) where the TAB favourite is Bear on the Loose ($3.60) in advance of Don Diego De Vega ($3.80), Touristic ($4.40) and Changingoftheguard ($8.50).

The rail is out 3m the entire circumference with the track rated a Soft 6. There is a high chance of showers on Friday easing to a medium chance on Saturday (mostly in the morning) with a top of 17 degrees expected on raceday.

This week’s selections: RH

BEST BET
Race 8, No.3 - TOURISTIC ($4.40 on TAB)

Saturday 14th June – ROSEHILL GARDENS

It’s not ideal having to carry 61kg but 1. TESTATOR SILENS ($9.50) is very good value. He’s been eye-catching over shorter trips in his two runs back in the Hawkesbury Rush and then behind Storm The Ramparts when back to 1000m three weeks ago. This is more his go distance wise, he loves the sting out of the track and suspect there’ll be enough speed to give him the chance to hit the line. If they go slow he is effective racing close to the speed. Has to run well again.

3. TOURISTIC ($4.40) put it all together to win the Lord Mayors Cup two weeks ago and if the same horse turns up then he can repeat the dose. It all worked out perfectly for him despite not being a lover of heavy ground and he was so dominant running away from them at the finish. Hard to see 2400m being an issue, his only attempt at that range was a close second to Deny Knowledge in last year’s Grafton Cup. Take beating.

6. HALF YOURS ($3.90) was responsible for a big effort, coupled with a daring ride, when he circled the field and just kept going to win easily over 1800m two weeks ago. He was six weeks between runs and up in distance so if he was going to be vulnerable that’s the sort of scenario to think that way. It’ll be interesting to see what tactics are applied this time around but 2000m should be no issue and he can only be fitter.

Have to stick with 8. WEEPING WOMAN ($6.00) despite the wide barrier. It may not be too bad for her as she does generally go forward and there’s not exactly high speed drawn underneath aside from probably her stablemate. Heavily backed there first-up and while she had her chance she was 1200m on a heavy track fresh so the better ground is a plus and with even luck she’ll be right there.
