ROSEHILL GARDENS – BEST BET: Race 7 # 12 – NAVAL COLLEGE
He's gone to a new level in his second Australian prep and produced a career peak figure last start when winning at Royal Randwick over 2000m. The gelding had every chance but looked the winner a long way out and did it easily, going through the line full of energy. Further, his sectional breakdown suggested he can only improve off that effort, and he profiles well for Saturday's event. The import has a positive map, gets in with no weight, which will enhance his key asset of closing speed, and is as consistent as they come. Hard to beat.

ROSEHILL GARDENS – BEST VALUE: Race 9 # 3 – SO GOOD SO COOL
The five-year-old represents value and is racing much better than the form guide reads. First-up, he had the pace/bias against over an unsuitable distance but still ran on hard into third behind Time To Boogie and reeled off the meeting's fastest final 600m. Forget he went around last week, where he had no luck at all. Further, he ran the race's second-fastest 400m-200m split before being blocked over the final furlong. The Sara Ryan trained galloper is on the quick backup, down in grade, and coming out of a high-pressure race. Each-way.
ROSEHILL GARDENS – SECTIONAL STAR: Race 4 # 11 – INFANCY
She ran a much-improved race last start at Randwick and arguably should've won. The three-year-old travelled well throughout but was checked/blocked when the sprint went on, and once clear, she hit the line hard. Moreover, Punter's Intelligence recorded her running the fastest final 200m race split in 12.16, and there has been a subsequent winner to confirm the form. The Kris Lees galloper is ready to peak third-up with no weight and has a solid SP profile.
KEMBLA GRANGE – PROVINCIAL PICK: Race 4 # 7 – OUTAKANDY
Returned as a gelding 13 days ago at Gosford but had no luck in a high-rating race. Further, he was building into it well but then was completely chopped out at the 200m mark, and he should have finished much closer. The three-year-old had only one trial prior to his first-up performance and would've come on from a fitness perspective. In addition, he returns to his home track, maps to have all favours and is suited out to 1300m with multiple winning figures.
