Rosehill February 18th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Rosehill Race 8
3
Aft Cabin $1.60
Aft Cabin couldn’t have been more impressive first-up at Randwick.
The Astern colt looks to have a mortgage on this race and the autumn at his mercy.
Tim Clark can push forward from the wide gate, and I expect him to sit one out one back in the running line.
With even luck in transit, he will continue on his winning ways.
I am excited to see how far this valuable commodity progresses during the autumn.
Zou Tiger looks the obvious quinella horse.
He found the line nicely first up, and he can cause the favourite some headaches if he manages to sit closer to the speed.
Osipenko will be suited to the 1400m, and he must be considered from barrier one.
If he sees daylight on straightening, he can figure in the finish.
Next Best - Rosehill Race 10
2
Andermatt $5.00
I am very bullish about Andermatt on Saturday.
He looks poised to strike third-up from a spell, and the 1100m is ideal for this stage of his preparation.
The 2kg apprentice claim is a luxury; he always runs well at Rosehill.
The Snitzel gelding must be respected for his ability to record sizzling late sectionals.
The consistent Midwest will start favourite after a solid but winless campaign.
He rarely runs a bad race and will be thereabouts from an inside draw on Saturday.
The Zoustar gelding needs to convert narrow losses into victories.
Best Roughie - Rosehill Race 5
14
Lindermann $12/$3.80
Lindermann can improve second-up despite drawing the carpark.
He savaged the line from a long way back and should strip fitter here.
The Lonhro colt is suited to the 1400m, and his second-up form must be respected.
Not winning for nearly 12 months is the primary concern.
Super Pursuit will start favourite after racing well this campaign.
He ran the fastest 600m of the meeting last start, and his subsequent win is just around the corner.
There has been a nibble at Al Mah Haha at $100-1.
The apprentice claim will help, as will the inside draw.
A win would shock me, but my wig wouldn’t fall off.
QUADDIE
Q
$54 for 100%
The Godolphin army will determine our quaddie fate on Saturday.
Aft Cabin and Andermatt are the two best bets on a quality racing program.
We have gone reasonably wide in the remaining legs looking for value.
If we get Cross Talk beat in the third leg, we can get a great return on investment.
