Rosehill Gardens plays host to another quality 10-race card on Saturday, with the Group 1 Coolmore Classic<\/a> between the fillies and mares highlighting the card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some showers throughout the week could have us racing on a wet track, but fine weather is expected on race day with the rail in the true position across the track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Race 1 – MIDWAY HANDICAP (1200 METRES) <\/div>\n
No. 13 Audrey\u2019s Lane <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

AUDREY\u2019S LANE (13)<\/strong>\u00a0resumes for\u00a0Brad Widdup looking\u00a0to add to an impressive first-up record.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Pierro mare looks forward enough for this\u00a01200m\u00a0assignment based on recent trials, while she also held her own here at Rosehill last August when she finished just outside the money over\u00a01500m\u00a0on a very wet day.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She\u2019s\u00a0still\u00a0lightly-raced\u00a0for a five-year-old and has proven capable of handling all conditions. Down at the weights and likely to roll forward from barrier 7,\u00a0she\u2019ll\u00a0be tough to catch.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Race 2 – 1:05PM CACTUS IMAGING HANDICAP (1900 METRES) <\/div>\n
No. 4 Tazima <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

James McDonald and Chris Waller combine with TAZIMA (4)<\/strong> looking ready to peak third-up.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Irish import out of Group 1 2000 Guineas winner Awtaad has always looked in need of further in both runs back this prep, finishing a distant third at Warwick Farm over the mile last time out after struggling to run on at Caulfield fresh.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s been given a trial between runs to keep him sharp after nearly a month off and draws to find the box seat early from the inside barrier with some good wet track form also working in his favour.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Race 3 – TRESEMM\u00c9 MAGIC NIGHT STAKES (1200 METRES) <\/div>\n
No. 3 Pembrey <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
Tip of The Day<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Happy to give PEMBREY (3)<\/strong> another chance here third-up with a run under her belt over\u00a01200m.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tony Gollan\u2019s filly caught the eye when winning over\u00a0shorter on\u00a0debut at Eagle Farm last month, then venturing to Randwick to contest the Sweet Embrace Stakes<\/a> where she was caught in a late pocket looking to try and shift out.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She still ran on well to finish 1.5 lengths off Spicy Miss, and she\u2019ll likely handle soft conditions again with James McDonald on board. If the pair can settle midfield nice and early from an awkward gate in the Magic Night Stakes field<\/a>, they\u2019ll be right there when it counts. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Race 4 – TAB PAGO PAGO STAKES (1200 METRES) <\/div>\n
No. 5 Central Europe <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

CENTRAL EUROPE (5)<\/strong> and Warwoven clash again, and\u00a0I\u2019m\u00a0leaning the way of the former after going down by the\u00a0smallest of\u00a0margins in a head bob in the Skyline Stakes<\/a> on debut.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some late traffic was against the Frankel colt at the top of the straight, but I thought he accelerated well over the final furlong once Jason Collett felt for him.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s another solid chance in a strong book of rides for J-Mac on Saturday and we\u2019ll likely see the pair settle back early from the gate to save something for the finish in this year’s Pago Pago<\/a>. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Race 5 – ASAHI SUPER DRY SKY HIGH STAKES (2000 METRES) <\/div>\n
No. 6 Trinity College <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

It\u2019s\u00a0Waller vs Waterhouse in the Sky High<\/a> and\u00a0there\u2019s\u00a0a bit to like about the overseas\u00a0prospect TRINITY COLLEGE (6)<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Dubawi\u00a0entire was thrown in the deep end on debut in the Group 1 Verry\u00a0Elleegant\u00a0Stakes<\/a> a fortnight ago, seen settling right back in the run and spinning his wheels at the top of the straight, before finding top gear to really charge the line hard.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The mile was well short of his best, as we saw last year when he ran second over\u00a02400m\u00a0in the Group 1 Prix De Paris at Longchamp.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Where he winds up from the inside gate is the\u00a0query, but\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a0the got the class to really measure up here back a level.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

No. 4 King\u2019s Secret <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

KING\u2019S SECRET (4)<\/strong> is a bit of a track\/trip specialist for Joe Pride with a pair of wins to his name.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s still lightly-raced for a four-year-old and was airborne to start the year before being sent back to the paddock briefly, winning in back-to-back succession at Randwick and Canterbury, the latter over 1200m.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The son to\u00a0Shalaa\u00a0flew home late to run second in a recent trial at Warwick Farm, closing a big gap behind Kiss Goodnight, who led all the way and is a smart filly in her own right.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Andrew Adkins knows her inside and\u00a0out\u00a0and the pair are drawn to get the gun run late from the inside barrier.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Race 7 – CHANDON PHAR LAP STAKES (1500 METRES) <\/div>\n
No. 1 Sixties <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

SIXTIES (1)\u00a0<\/strong>appeals\u00a0back\u00a0a level for Chris Waller.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s\u00a0short in betting, but\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0about what\u00a0you\u2019d\u00a0expect for a colt who went within half a length of Observer in the Group 1 Australian Guineas<\/a> two weeks ago.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His two wins to kick off his prep started here at Rosehill when he put\u00a0paid to\u00a0his rivals by more than 1.5 lengths, and he should\u00a0benefit\u00a0from the drop back to 1500m with J-Mac hopping back in the saddle.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The wide gate does make this slightly tricky, but\u00a0on\u00a0pure class, he should have lengths on most of these with another Group 1 tilt not off the table sometime soon.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Race 8 – COOLMORE CLASSIC (1500 METRES) <\/div>\n
No. 14 Cilacap <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n
Each Way<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

CILACAP (14)<\/strong> is a definite each-way chance here third-up where she\u00a0remains\u00a0unbeaten.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s\u00a0been a while since Grahame Begg\u2019s mare last won a race (nearly a year to be exact), but she\u2019s won twice at this stage of her prep and was strong all the way through the line last time out over much shorter in the Millie Fox Stakes<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Granted, it took a while for her to wind up, but once she got going over the final\u00a0100m\u00a0or\u00a0so\u00a0she really warmed to the task and\u00a0indicated\u00a0she might want longer.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The gate and the fact Rachel King\u00a0carries\u00a0only 51kg only strengthens her claims, and keep in mind she was eight weeks between runs\u00a0last time out, so there should be natural improvement still to come.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Race 9 – HYLAND RACE COLOURS AJAX STAKES (1500 METRES) <\/div>\n
No. 1 Globe <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

GLOBE (1)<\/strong> can mix his form first-up\u00a0but\u00a0there\u2019s\u00a0been plenty to take away from his two recent trial wins, both suggesting\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a0forward enough for this.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a01500m\u00a0trip is well short of his best, but he did run a drum over this trip at The Valley last August on his\u00a0way to\u00a0to\u00a0winning the Group 1 Might and Power<\/a> at Caulfield later in the spring.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The wide gate leaves Tommy Berry with a bit to overcome, but always honest and capable of rolling forward early and using his early speed, we\u2019re getting a good price to find out if that trial form counts for much. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Race 10 – SCHWEPPES HANDICAP (1400 METRES) <\/div>\n
No. 18 Amreekiyah <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Quite the similar setup here for AMREEKIYAH (18)<\/strong> to what she saw a few weeks ago when winning over the same trip at Randwick.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Snowden-trained mare bolted in to get the better of Sovereign Hill over the late\u00a0stages,\u00a0the pull at the weights proving the main factor, which she gets again here carrying only 54kg.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is slightly tougher\u00a0again\u00a0and she might need to find some room along the rail, but\u00a0there\u2019s\u00a0no query on her turn of foot as she looks to add to a growing record that features four wins from nine starts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rosehill Gardens plays host to another quality 10-race card on Saturday, with the Group 1 Coolmore Classic between the fillies and mares highlighting the card.
