The Plunge’s Black Book: Horses Running At Rosehill 3/4

5 years ago - Sportingbase

The Rosehill autumn carnival concludes with Tancred Stakes Day where many of the nation’s top stayers will contest the 2400m G1 event. On what looks like a tricky day of punting, I’ve found a Snowden sprinter that has been trialling the house down that represents great value and a Hawkes 5yo with undefeated 2nd up stats that is looking to earn a start in the Doncaster.

Rosehill Race 5 – Signore Fox

Signore Fox steps out 1^st up in an open G3 Star Kingdom Stakes after 3 impressive trial performances. He won his first trial at Canterbury but it was his 2^nd trial at Randwick on March 11 that suggested he is flying this time in.

With McDonald on board he settled midfield and when given a squeeze at the top of the straight he slid straight across the inside rail to blow his rivals away by 1.5L under minimal pressure.

I like the fact the Snowden’s have given him 3 trials in the lead up for this and also that McDonald is sticking. He wasn’t far away in this grade of G3 sprints last preparation. I believe the lack of class in this race and the improvement he has shown at the trials makes him a great bet at the double figure odds.

Rosehill Race 8 – Rock

This year’s Doncaster Prelude is a great race with many top chances. Two of my black book runners shape up here; Rock and Subedar and I have found it difficult to split them.

Subedar is a talented grey gelding that the Cummings yard that has been set for this race through some interesting lead ups, winning the last two.

Rock however was outstanding last start on a day where horses struggled to make up ground, the Hawkes 5yo rattled home from back in the field to finish 3^rd behind I Am Superman and Think It Over. He is undefeated from three 2^nd up runs and this looks like a target race.

I am leaning towards Rock with the great 2^nd up record and barrier 5. With the rail out 6m I think he will settle a little closer than Subedar and I expect I may be difficult to make ground late.
