Although it can be hard to see what the game plan is currently, stats tell us that they are trying to play a possession based game which includes needing precision ball use when going inside fifty. Dropping Caleb Daniel, Bailey Dale, and Jack Macrae who are essentially their best ball users therefore makes no sense whatsoever. Outside of Marcus Bontempelli the Bulldogs midfielders aren’t good ball users. Adam Treloar is the man that has kicked the ball inside fifty on the most occasions for the Dogs this season and it is widely acknowledged that he is a poor kick. Tom Liberatore is slightly better but the same logic applies. When you compare this to the current benchmark in the Giants who have players like Josh Kelly, Lachie Whitfield, and Tom Green delivering it inside fifty it looks night and day and their inside fifties show this.

The other issue with a possession based game plan (or over possessing the ball when the pressure arises) is that the Bulldogs have an incredibly tall forward line which needs quick entries and one on one contests. Aaron Naughton is 196cm, Jamarra Ugle-Hagan is 197cm, and Sam Darcy and Rory Lobb are both over 205cm. To take advantage of their height and marking dominance you would think that you would want to play a run and gun, get it in their quick style of football which would unquestionably have every back six in the league worried. Instead, the Bulldogs play a methodical and predictable style of football that allows teams to get numbers back and blunts any offensive weapons that they have.

Now, we get to the list build. Although I don’t think Luke Beveridge should have a job, I don’t think the list manager in Sam Power should escape scrutiny. The Bulldogs simply have no key defenders and I am not sure they have many good intercept defenders either. Liam Jones has become a good key defender but he is now thirty-three along with Alex Keath who is thirty-two which begs the question of who their key defenders are going to be in a year or two time. James O’Donnell has shown signs since moving to defence and the only other key defender on the list is their first round selection in 2022 in Jedd Busslinger who is yet to play a game. The lack of outside midfielders is also a major issue. Bontempelli, Liberatore, Treloar, and Macrae are all brilliant footballers but they do their best work on the inside. The outside brigade in Caleb Daniel and Bailey Dale aren’t being selected which leaves the likes of Bailey Williams and Jason Johannisen to fill the void who aren’t currently getting the job done.

Now we can discuss the coach in Luke Beveridge. The sheer arrogance of this man in his post-match press conference to say that they had “one eye on next week” had to be seen and heard to be believed. This was a Bulldogs team that was 2-2 after four games and had beaten Gold Coast (middle of the table side) and West Coast who are the worst side in the competition. What made Beveridge think that Essendon, a team who was also 2-2, could be underestimated?

He then made comments surrounding Tom Liberatore collapsing after an obvious head knock/concussion that were just bizarre. Beveridge claimed that Liberatore had “lost his footing”. Generally, Luke, you stand back up after losing your footing. Liberatore face planted and didn’t get back up in what were truly scary scenes. I think Beveridge is a man that knows he is coaching for his career, and it is all starting to unravel mentally for him much like it did surrounding the Tom Morris saga.

The Bulldogs play the Saints tonight and their season is on the line. If they cannot find a way to win this game against an undermanned Saints outfit in the face of the scrutiny they have been under all week, they simply aren’t a team ready to play finals football. Beveridge is the type of man who will live and die by the sword of his approach to the game of football, and he may in fact figuratively die on Thursday Night football with the eyes of the football world watching on.

The post Is There Even A Whimper Coming Out Of Whitten Oval? first appeared on The Mock Sports.

Track Report: Track is currently a Soft 7 and the rail is out 2 metre the entire circuit. It was hard to make ground last week and I expect the same here. I reckon horses will want to be in the front half of the pack going around the bend to have the best chance of winning. They’ll also likely get off the fence as the day goes on. However, the Slipper seems to always be stuck on the rail, no matter the weather and track conditions, strange that.

Race 1 – 1500M Midway (BM72)

This race has a few of my old Midway favourites in it but no better than the race favourite in Wrathful. I am a big fan of the way this horse goes about it. He hasn’t really stepped wrong since his debut and has rarely been far off in his 7 career starts thus far. I’m honestly surprised to see him still in Midways after he has had some success in better races. Should sit just off them and rattle home strongly.

Elettrica is another one of my Midway favourites, that I honestly feel is a little hard done by to still be in this grade, as she is just so consistent and could arguable have much more wins on the board next to her name. Will burst through and show her hand late, if its wet, she’ll love it even more.

Tavs got a bit too far back to really fire an effective shot last start, and he certainly won’t be able to do the same here to be truly effective. But with a better run in transit, he is strong enough to run over the top of them here. Richard Litt is a solid trainer for these Midway grades and he deserves a win after a few near misses in recent times.

Kingston Charm absolutely sh*tting it in last start at $61 was seen coming by just about nobody. Stop lying, you didn’t tip him. Displayed clear ability to get the job done in this grade, so he is a massive watch to see if he can back it up with another strong run.

Selections: 3-1-7-16

Suggested Bet: Wrathful Win

Race 2 – 2400m Precise Air N E Manion Cup

This is an interesting race, as we get to see our first big name Import for the Autumn. Haggas hasn’t brought Dubai Honour this year, but he has brought a few good ones over, but how good are they? Post Impressionist doesn’t have a huge amount of ‘strong’ form around him, but he did run 8 lengths behind Deauville Legend once, is that enough? I am happy to find out. $3 could be slightly unders, but he should be winning.

So United is a severely underrated horse for the Waterhouse and Bott Camp. He always comes to the races full of running and he is almost always at each way odds, which if he wasn’t trying to beat a seasoned international import, I would be all over, and I don’t blame you if you are. He should take a commanding lead and if he skips away around the turn, he’ll be hard to catch.

Stockman is praying the rain strikes once more and we get an even soggier track than is expected. He isn’t the almighty G1 conqueror he once was and the reason he always ends up the top weight, but he usually pops his head up and puts in a solid run in these types of races.

Almania is coming off of a solid Canberra Cup win, where he beat a couple of his opponents here, so they’ll need to turn the tables on him. Only query is, he is usually no good beyond 2000. Has Kris Lees finally figured him out?

Selections: 4-7-2-5

Suggested Bet: Post Impressionist Win

Race 3 – 1900M Bisley Workwear Epona Stakes

Very open race here, with most of the top chaces drawn very wide. Osmose, however, is drawn perfectly. Was excellent when first up when narrowly missing behind Lekvarte. She should head right to the front and set the tempo, hopefully he can keep kicking and get up

Thalassophile was a bit flat last start, was it Waller second up syndrome? Or was she just no good? Willing to forgive, because she has proven herself time and time again in these filly and mare type races. Shocking barrier, but if JMac manages to get her over onto the back of someone early, she is within a strong chance of running over the top.

City Of Lights is the sister of Winx, so you know she is bred to get to this distance, so the fact she has never seen it doesn’t worry me. Jumped to Saturday grade for the first time last start and was really solid, closing off with some nice sectionals. Interested to see how she goes.

Little Mix was another one that was excellent when closing off strongly late in the piece last start. But that barrier is a betty crocker. She would have had my money if she didn’t draw the carpark, but has the turn of foot to find her way into the money.

Selections: 5-1-20-7

Suggested Bet: Osmose Win

Race 4 – 1200M Irresistible Pools Darby Munro Stakes

Backing Red Resistance in to bounce back here. Was fantastic first up considering he was a year between runs. Looked strong going around the bend and just tired late. He will take fitness from that Wider barrier doesn’t help, but he is lucky that there is little speed drawn on the inside, so he shouldn’t find it hard to get up on the pace and hopefully he holds on this time.

Brave Mead will be the one to watch late. The only way he doesn’t finish in the money in my opinion is if he manages to miss the kick and end up in a bunch of traffic. He has only ever missed the money once and that was on a bottomless track, which we won’t, touch wood, be getting this weekend. Shinn sticks and should stalk the pace and be super strong late.

Schwarz showed some strong signs of talent in his debut prep in the Spring, which was capped off with a strong win at Flemington. Has been in the paddock since waiting for this race to kick off a late Autumn assault on the 3YO stakes races I assume. Trials have been good, JMac booked, camp is confident, you would expect him to run well.

Don Corleone is a strange strange horse and I have managed to get sucked in again here, will I regret it? Maybe. He failed to do much of anything first up, but can be forgiven due to a medical scare. His trial form reads that he beat Think About It and that is good enough form to be respecting him here despite the price.

Selections: 3-2-6-7

Suggested Bet: Red Resistance Each Way

Race 5: 2000M G1 Ranvet Stakes

Out of all the boom imports to hit Australian shores this carnival, Via Sastina is supposed to be one of the best, if not the best. She eats up this distance, is Ascot placed, can get the job done in all conditions and gets JMac. You’d hope she would be running well based on her pricetag.

Buckaroo was solid without threatening too much when running first up. He has always shown signs of talent, but he can’t just seem to repeat his European exploits Down Under. He has been kept on ice for this race, which shows strong intent to get the job done and he gets one of the world’s best jockeys. He should be running well here.

Think It Over my oh my the old boy just keeps on kicking doesn’t he? Knocked off Fangirl in the VE Stakes in arrogant fashion with a superb 10/10 ride from Nash Rawiller and they’ll be looking to knock off another boom Waller mare here. Drawn well, gets to his pet distance and he usually has success at this track, keen to see if he can keep his momentum going.

Place Du Carrousel was also bought for Waller for a stack of money – over 6 million smackaroos! She needs it to be wet, considering she has always excelled with her toe in the ground and can easily provide a bit of X-Factor here.

Selections: 6-3-1-7

Suggested Bet: Via Sastina Win

Race 6 – 2000M G1 Sky Racing Rosehill Guineas

Immediacy just looks over the odds to me. Couldn’t be more impressive in all 3 starts to date, which have all been winners. He absolutely spanked the competition last start over 1800m, albeit, a much easier field. It will be tricky from the widest barrier, but he is a solid each way play.

Tom Kitten was hard done by in the Randwick Guineas. He is still looking for a whole to dart through and get out. Those who backed him are probably still crying into their 2-minute noodles. He finally, I repeat, FINALLY, gets back out to his preferred distance and is drawn perfectly to get a good spot amongst the pack and hopefully gets a clear run to the line late.

Riff Rocket was absolutely phenomenal first up, looked like a world beater, and then managed to find a flat spot when second up. Second up syndrome? I would think so. He has proven to be far too good in the past not to be bouncing back here. An unplaced run would be a genuine shock.

Cafe Millennium is perhaps the biggest money muncher of the 3YO class. Every few runs he puts in a HUGE swooping effort that screams back me next start and then proceeds to run dead last. Will he do it again here? Likely, yes. But his run was too good not to put him the selections. Do you see the toxic cycle he puts us in?!

Selections: 7-4-2-3

Suggested Bet: Immediacy Each Way

Race 7 – 1500M G1 George Ryder Stakes

Mighty Ulysses has me intrigued. Spoken personally to Annabel Neasham and she said she bought this horse for specifically the Cox Plate and if he is going to be good enough for that race, he needs to be showing a spark here. Trials have been plain, but he was never really asked for anything. Well drawn, gets Marquand, who jumped off Pericles and Golden Mile to get on this horse and at a whopping price, I am willing to find out if he is mice or man.

Think About It is unders for mine, considering his first up blunder and his horrendous barrier, seriously, if he manages to win from that barrier, he is a deadset super hero. Sounds like I don’t think he can win right? If he was any other horse, probably, but he has proven to be an uber reliable, respond when the chips are down type of horse who can be backed under these circumstances. Would love to see a larger price considering though.

New Energy is a horse that I think has a bright future in Australia. His first up run was phenomenal all things considering, he made a stack of ground and ran some of the fastest sectionals of the day on a track that was quicksand for backmarkers. I blackbooked him and vowed to back him next start. The he drew barrier 16 and I cried a little inside. I reckon he is worth a tiny each way speck, but definitely follow him going forward.

Militarize is an interesting one. I feel like he would have been a moral in the Guineas, yet he lines up here. Clearly Waller sees something we don’t. He will be ready to peak, he’s well drawn and has a blinding turn of foot when asked for it. Big chance.

Selections: 10-1-11-16

Suggested Bet: Mighty Ulysses Each Way

Race 8 – 1200M G1 Golden Slipper

I have settled on Switzerland. He comes here undefeated, coming off two really smart lead up runs, including the win in the Todman, which is always a strong form race for the Slipper. He gets JMac and a perfect barrier to do whatever the camp want him to do. He should get onto someones back in transit, break clear of the pack late and can easily chase down whoever has their head in front late. I am confident he will be in the finish.

Storm Boy is obviously the other big chance in the race. What hasn’t been said about him already? I have my doubts, but maybe I am just cynical. I think for him it comes down to the jump. If he jumps clean and gets his prime spot on the fence, he’s golden. If he is sluggish and ends up in traffic, game over. 

Prost is an underrated knock out chance in my mind. This horse only finishes a length and a half off of Storm Boy, running better sectionals than him on the day as well and has arguably the most in form 2YO jockey this season on his back, yet he is $40+ and Storm Boy is almost even money. Make it make sense. Seriously Seriously overs here. Best Roughie in the race by a mile.

Shangri La Express has been completely missed by the market. Drawn perfectly, comes out of the Todman, and despite having to turn the tables on Switzerland, he is yet to do anything wrong in his career and he has proven to be quite tough so far, so I can certainly see him upsetting the market at huge odds.

Selections: 7-1-12-3

Suggested Bet: Switzerland Win, Shangri La Express Place, Prost Place, Straight Charge Place and a Trifecta with all of the Waterhouse runners

Race 9 – 1100M G1 The Galaxy

Ozzmosis. That is all. No in all seriousness, he is no longer the sure thing I thought he would be when he drew barrier 13, but am I still confident he wins? Of course I am. He is well in at the weights, his trial work has been super slick, he has the speed to overcome th wide draw and is just super gutsy. Still confident the big boy gets it done!

Private Eye is overs here. Despite his lacklustre run last start and his poor barrier, he is the class horse of the field. So $10+ is a silly price and is quite honestly the only other bet I would want apart from Ozzmosis.

Sunshine In Paris deserved to be in the Everest, but alas an injury struck her down. She is back now and I am excited to see what she can do. She is a Sheraco winner and a Surround Stakes winner, but can she tackle the boys? We find out here.

Passive Aggressive seems to always get undervalued by the market. Considering the scalps she got last start you would think she wouldn’t be at such big odds again. If it is still Soft by Galaxy time, she could be the biggest danger of the lot.

Selections: 13-1-11-10

Suggested Bet: Ozzmosis Win (BEST BET)

Race 10 – 1200M Tab Birthday Card Stakes

Quite the open race to finish off here, many many chances here. So, I may as well go for some value here and I spot myself another import and an import trained by Joe Pride no less, you never see that. Sounds Of Heaven has some solid form in Europe and has proven himself first up before. Usually likes to get over a mile, but I wouldn’t mind seeing him make his way into the money and make me a lot of it. 

Tintookie has drawn shocking, but if anyone can win from there, it’s her. She’s super honest, gutsy and always puts her foot forward, and last start, she stood head and shoulders above the rest in her biggest test to date. Deserves all the respect in the world. 

Tashi has been the surprise packet of the benchmark sprinters so far this Autumn and she deserves a crack at this type of grade and deserves to be well respected in the market. She’s got great sustained speed down the straight and can fly late if she’s got a back to follow.

Olentia is always a good looker on paper, but I would rather have her go around without my money, she always seems to come up second best.

The post Saturday Racing Preview – Rosehill Tips And Best Bets 23/3/2024 Golden Slipper Day first appeared on The Mock Sports.

Track Report: Track is currently a Good 4 and that shouldn’t change with very hot days scheduled all the way in the lead up to race day. The rail is out 3 metres the entire circuit, this however, shouldn’t affect bias too much.

Race 1 – 1600M Midway (Bm72)

Straight to the point – Mahagoni. He has dropped off a cliff in general the last year and a bit and he has slowly been dropping in grade. He finally drops all the way to a Midway grade here and he won’t know himself. Glory Daze, Redstone Well, Estadio Mestalla, those are proper horses who can win some high benchmark quality races.

Satness is always a consistent character in races such as this. He will also be hoping that the track is playing up and in again like it was last week, as he will push right to the front and try and kick away down the straight. Hippo is flying as well, so he should give it every chance.

Invincible Legend might have finished 15 lengths off the finish last start, but he had excuses. Suffered from heat stress and just didn’t want to be there at all. His best can win a race like this, that is for sure, so if he can bounce back here, you’re getting a fantastic price.

Elettrica needs a few scratchings to get a start, but if she manages to get into the race, she will be very competitive, as always in Midway grade.

Selections: 3-6-2-24

Suggested Bet: Mahagoni Each Way

Race 2 – 1200M Yarraman Park Reisling Stakes

Too Darn Lizzie on a silver platter please. Got a massive ticket on her for the Slipper and while she’ll find it tough to beat Storm Boy, you would hope she can go close. Needs to win here first and if she brings her best that was displayed in Gold Coast, she can easily beat this crew. She was quick, smart and responded under pressure. She’s got the goods and I can’t see her losing.

Erno’s Cube has the runs on the board here and needs this win to really solidify her spot in the Slipper, so the camp will have great intention to get the job done here.

Silmarillion gets JMac on board and has had some solid trials thus far. His one start came behind Gatsby’s and that’s a solid horse in my opinion. Certainly worth a watch in the market.

Extreme Diva the only other horse I could entertain here with form behind all the top 2YO’s headed into the Slipper – Switzerland, Shangri La Express, Manaal and Lady Of Camelot.

Selections: 1-2-8-6

Suggested Bet: Too Darn Lizzie Win (BEST BET)

Race 3 – 2000M Randwick City Stakes

Open race here with multiple winning chances, so I will be specking one at odds here in Bois D’Argent. Super consistent horse, who has only missed the top 3 at this distance once in 9 starts and once first up in 6 starts. He is also a horse who ran 4th in the Caulfield Cup last year. So he needs to be respected and I think he can run a great race here.

Canberra Legend returned solidly enough first up to warrant a forgive that he didn’t win. Peaked a little on the run, before holding onto a top 4 finish within a length of the winner. Will take fitness from that and will love it if the track is loving leaders.

Serpentine and Military Mission often need a run to really get going, but they’re two of Waterhouse and Bott’s more consistent stayers and you would imagine that they will be the two to really set the pace early. Great each way plays.

Selections: 3-10-1-5

Suggested Bet: Bois D’Argent Each Way

Race 4 – 1100M Tokyo City Keiba Fireball Stakes

Red Resistance is back! I know he has had a loooooong stint on the sidelines and he might be a touch fresh, but you know Gai Waterhouse will have him ready, especially with the 6 trials he has had leading up to this. If he is still the same horse he was this time last year, he can win this for sure.

Facile is a pretty sharp horse. Never should be going to 1200 like she did last start. She is a pure 1000-1100 horse in my opinion, so she is well placed back in distance here. Should push to the front and make the favourite work for it.

Keenan has the form of running behind Phearson in his latest trial, that horse came out and won really well last week, so it needs to be considered. He will be the 3rd in a line of horses pushing for the lead and has never missed the placings when Tim Clark is on.

Rush Hour hasn’t done a lot wrong in his career thus far, and I think he warrants a spot in the exotics, as apart from the top 3, I feel it is a thin race.

Selections: 2-7-4-5

Suggested Bet: Red Resistance Win

Race 5 – 1200M Todman Stakes

I can’t see why Shangri La Express is at his current price despite potentially not having as much intent as some of the other horses here. He has done nothing wrong in his career so far, has drawn soft and will be in the right part of the track to win, so I just have to go each way on him.

Switzerland needs to win this to cement himself in the Slipper. If he doesn’t win, he risks missing out, despite being the 2nd favourite in the market. Waller has a smart one on his hands, one that I can see being a long term horse for him, unlike a lot of the other early 2YO’s that pop up this time of year. He can certainly truck behind the speed and win.

Straight Charge is obviously a big threat here and is one of the few horses I could see pushing Storm Boy in the Slipper. However, he is already in the race here. He doesn’t need to win this technically, so will the intent be there?

Espionage likely tails the speed and runs into the placings, if not get up to add another Waterhouse horse to the Slipper assault.

Selections: 1-6-3-5

Suggested Bet: Shangri La Express Each Way

Race 6 – 1000M Hyland Race Colours Challenge Stakes

Private Eye could have been winning the Newmarket Handicap this weekend if he stayed in Melbourne, yes, I am serious, so it is strange that he has ended up here. Pride must be confident in him, especially since he is staying at the 1000m. Back around a bend will help as well. I think he can win and do it comfortably.

The only horse I see mainly challenge him is Remarque. He always runs like a bomb when fresh and is usually quite sharp over 1000m. Every prep he goes to another level and he only needs to do that again in order to knock off the short favourite here.

Mazu really fell off a cliff compared to this time 2 years ago didn’t he? Unfortunately, he hasn’t got the chance to have a blessed run of heavy tracks like he did when La Nina came to town. He resumes as a member of the Joe Pride stable which is huge. If anyone is going to turn this horse around it is Pride.

Aft Cabin is a horse I have a negative relationship with. However, I couldn’t possibly fault his recent trials, including one where he beat Tropical Squall, who last week won the Surround Stakes. Can be considered a danger.

Selections: 1-3-2-4

Suggested Bet: Private Eye Win

Race 7 – 1300M James Squire Canterbury Stakes

The only thing that beats Think About It is the barrier. If he somehow gets trapped wide while Malkovich tries to steal it with a commanding lead, he might not have the chance to run them down. But if Clipperton can get him into an appropriate spot, it is over, he has the class to run past them. One of the more confident tips of the day, but no prizes tipping him considering his price.

Malkovich I mentioned is a danger from a map point of view. Could be a tearaway leader who tries to steal it and if Randwick is playing to the leaders again, he definitely can at a huge price.

Espiona and Lady Laguna the only other two I could potentially entertain.

Selections: 1-5-6-7

Suggested Bet: Think About It Win, Think About It Win – Malkovich Top 4 SRM

Race 8 – 1600M Randwick Guineas

Blinkers on for Celestial Legend who I tipped about a month ago in the futures market. He came of age last start where he gave the rest of the field windburn at Rosehill when he finally got to a distance that suits him. I think he can go to another level here as he has always seemed to be a Miler. Very excited to see what he can do and win a much deserved G1.

Militarize is now obviously going to be hard to beat. He has a lot of class about him, he is already a G1 winner, he has run well against horses who are much older and stronger than this and dropping back to his age group will give him a huge leg up. He honestly could give them windburn if he brings his best.

D-Day for Tom Kitten here. He has put in two very plain, albeit excusable runs this prep so far, however, now that he gets back out to a more suitable distance for him and he isn’t firing a shot it could be time to think about heading to the paddock and starting again in the Spring.

Encap is always there or thereabouts, just one of those horses that reminds me alot of an Icebath, he’ll continually place in top races and pay for himself without actually winning too many G1 races. But he is suited out to the mile and has a great turn of foot, certainly can’t be ruled out.

Selections: 3-1-2-4

Suggested Bet: Celestial Legend Win

Race 9 – 1600M Mostyncopper Aspiration Quality

Really really open race, Thalassophile for me. Closed really well behind some talented boys last start and drops back to all girl grade now which will put her in good stead. JMac has success aboard, I think she is worth taking each way odds.

Lekvarte rattled off some nice sectionals last start behind some very talented horses in Lady Laguna and Zougotcha, who are proper G1 quality. Steps back up to the mile now which suits her very well and gets to Randwick where she has almost always had success. Certainly the main danger.

Howgoodareyou hasn’t come up that good this prep despite having a decently strong Spring. This is where she can prove that there were excuses in her two starts to date and she has just needed a longer distance. To be fair to her, she is an out and out dry tracker and she has pulled 2 soft tracks, perhaps that is the thing to turn her around.

Ita rarely runs a bad race. She has drawn a shocking barrier, but a placing wouldn’t surprise one bit.

Selections: 1-4-12-9

Suggested Bet: Thalassophile Each Way

Race 10 – 1200M Toyota Forklifts Wenona Girl Quality

Call Di with that all important trainer change to Joe Pride. I think he can really get the best out of this horse that has had the potential to jump out of the ground its entire career. Happy to go with her here and I hope se does me proud.

Eagle Nest was flying last prep, but in much easier grades than this. This is by far her greatest test as she steps up in grade and distance, but runs well fresh and on dry tracks, throw in the fact that Jay Ford is riding pretty well for his standards at the moment she is certainly an each way chance.

Tintookie put in her first poor run of the prep last week, but that was only because she went down the fence which was Off with a capital O. It was genuine quicksand. They’ve sent her out on the one week back up for a bit of redemption and she could definitely get it here.

C’Est Magiue is another horse like Call Di that has always been like 90% put together, without ever really smashing through that glass ceiling. Can find a black type win here.

The wait is finally over! Rugby League returns this weekend, but for the first time in National Rugby League history, the season is being launched in the entertainment capital of the world, Las Vegas.

In a bold gamble by the NRL, Peter V’landys and Andrew Abdo have managed to secure a 5-year deal that will see every club take part in Las Vegas. In 2024, it will be the South Sydney Rabbitohs vs. Manly Warringah Sea Eagles and the Brisbane Broncos vs. Sydney Roosters showcased at the 65,000 Allegiant Stadium. Rugby League’s biggest names, Reece Walsh, James Tedesco, Latrell Mitchell, and Tom Trbojevic, will be looking to play their best games in front of a live and TV audience of Americans. 

Vegas Rugby League will look a little different to back home, with the dimensions of the playing field being six metres shorter and five metres narrower than a regular league field, being 68 metres wide and 100 metres from tryline to tryline. An eyecatcher will be the goal posts, which are going to be that typical NFL yellow style in a way to attract the American eye.

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles vs South Sydney Rabbitohs, Sunday March 3, 1:30pm AEDT

Seibold’s Sea Eagles will be looking to start the season with a win under new halves, pairing Luke Brooks and Daly Cherry-Evans. Tom Trbojevic will be looking to have a huge year on the paddock, as this will unlock the best form from Manly in pursuit of playing consistent football in 2024. A strong forward pack and blistering back line now mean it’s up to the Manly halves to spell the magic and play finals footy. 

South Sydney will be looking to bounce back in 2024. After sitting first with the finals in sight in 2023, in came injuries and suspensions, leading to the bunnies bouncing out of the 8, finishing with a disappointing 9th. Coach Jason Demetriou has a lot on his plate this year, and with the addition of Jack Wighton to the squad, he will need to fit him while making sure Lachlan Ilias hits the ground running in hopes of forming well-performed combinations with Cody Walker and Latrell Mitchell. 

Sydney Roosters vs Brisbane Broncos, Sunday March 3, 3:30pm AEDT

Once again, the Bondi boys will line up with a star-studded team, with the addition of ex-panther Spencer Leniu adding extra grunt to their 2024 pack. 2023 was a disappointment for Roosters standards, missing the top 4, and with combinations taking a while to get into gear, you would think this year the likes of Brandon Smith, Tedesco, Walker, and Keary take it up a notch to solidify a top 4 finish. This is Jared Waerea-Hargreaves final season with the Tricolours, closing in on 300 career games. The squad will do their all to send JWH out a winner and lift the Provan-Summons trophy for his fourth time. 

The 2023 runners-up, Brisbane, will be looking to go one further this year by lifting the Provan-Summons trophy, which they agonisingly had their hands on, only for Nathan Cleary to steal the show in what was a memorable grand final comeback. Having lost key players in Tom Gilbert, Herbie Farnworth, and Kurt Capewell, players will have to step up and fill that void while working alongside one of the most electrifying players in Reece Walsh. 

The Mock Sports Top 8 predictions

The post VIVA LAS VEGAS – NRL ready to showcase Rugby League to American eyes! first appeared on The Mock Sports.

Track Report: Track is currently a Soft 7 and it has been quite hot today so the track can dry out, but with rain scheduled both tomorrow and on Saturday, it should be a soggy track, so make sure to look for horses who can get the job done in the wet. Rail in the true position and every horse should get a fair chance at victory.

Race 1 – 1500M Midway (Bm74)

Taking Pharoah’s Reign here. I was on her a few weeks ago where she ran a solid 3rd behind a smart type in Black Duke and her issue was mostly the short distance. She gets better the further she goes and the jump in distance by 150m here should help immensely. Clark should get her into a good position with little speed drawn under her and at her price, she is certainly worth an each way play.

Smart Legend might have been 5 lengths off of him, but he was still ran behind Winchat a couple of weeks ago on the Kenso track. That horse has since made the jump to a higher grade than this last week and beat them quite convincingly again. That form could go a long way here.

Glad You Think So is an interesting horse here. He was running around in 3YO Group races in the Spring, including the G1 Spring Champion Stakes. So now he drops down to Midway level. Draws to do no work and if he brings his potential class, he can certainly win.

Satness rounds out selections as he is never too far away in these races.

Selections: 5-14-8-13

Suggested Bet: Pharoah’s Reign Each Way

Race 2 – 1400M Tab Highway Hcp (C3)

Highways are always difficult and an 18 horse field in these conditions won’t make it any easier. I will look at Vinolass in this one. Lightly raced, full of improvement to come from the look of her starts to date and has only ever run in the wet so the conditions will be no issue. Only query is she has never gone past 1100m, but her run first up suggests she has the legs for it. If she does, she’ll be hard to beat in my mind.

Atmospheric Rock is a horse I can never seem to catch. Wanted to be with him last start, second guessed myself and he got up. I have done the same thing here, so fingers crossed he doesn’t make me look silly twice, but I can’t deny he is a strong chance, even with the extremely wide barrier.

Belvedere Boys will have to turn the tables on Atmospheric Rock after getting out run in he final stages last start. That was the first time this horse has gone unplaced in 5 starts. Takes a lot of fitness from that run and shouldn’t get as far back as last time.

Rapidash rounds out selections. Comes out of that same race with Belvedere Boys and Atmospheric Rock when she never really got clear from traffic. Pure forgive run and can bonce back here.

Selections: 21-4-2-6

Suggested Bet: Vinolass Each Way

Race 3 – 1100M Queen Bee Project Sprint (Bm78)

Shezanalister and Dipsy Doodle are the horses that share the top of the market right now, both look to be super hard to beat.

I think Shezanlister that is the one to be on at the end of the day. Flying right now, coming off of 3 straight wins, all of which were just as impressive as the other. Beat Tintookie last start by the bob of the head, which is a horse I respect highly, which is why it was my best bet on the day. Bjorn as a trainer, is also flying, which helps.

Dispy Doodle is a fantastic prospect here but does she even run on Saturday when there is an easier race on Friday night? If she does, she is well placed, gets in well at the weights, has JMac on his back and the Our Kobison form can go a long way.

Ballroom Bella is a solid knockout chance here. Did more than enough in her debut prep to suggest she will have a strong 2nd career prep. Trials have been strong and will be the one they have to chase down in the end.

Bandi’s Boy is undefeated when 2nd up and can go in all conditions, certainly a lock for exotics.

Selections: 2-8-11-1

Suggested Bet: Shezanlister Win

Race 4 – 1100M Silver Slipper Stakes

Straight Charge for me. Speaks for itself really. 2nd in the breeders plate, win in the Drinkwise plate late last year before being kept on ice this whole time instead of heading to Magic Millions. Has the stable’s lead rider on board and should be hard to get past.

Gatsby’s for Chris Waller is a horse I will be keeping a close eye on here. Waller’s 2YO’s have been running really well lately and this horse has been trialling super. Considering he is on debut and would need the win here to be getting into the Slipper you would think, there will be great intent to get the job done at a massive price.

Espionage is the Breeder’s Plate winner and has been kept on ice since. His trials have been great, including one that has produced a few subsequent winners, including stablemate Prost. Should be sitting just off Straight Charge in the run and will likely have quite the kick late.

Embassy is by no means the Snowden’s number 1 2YO seed, but they clearly want to see him in the Slipper, otherwise they wouldn’t have booked JMac here. Should make the leaders work for it and could prove hard to run down if he skips away and tries to steal it.

Selections: 2-5-1-3

Suggested Bet: Straight Charge Win and Gatsby’s Each Way

Race 5 – 1900M Parramatta Cup

So United has the fitness edge on this crew and is flying. Won 2 races really well so far this prep, with this race likely the one in mind, before potentially staying on ice for a Sydney Cup perhaps? But at his current price I am keen to have a play on him. He’ll push to the front and kick hard and can definitely end up in the money.

Canberra Legend didn’t really live up to the hype in the Spring with 2 quite mediocre starts. However, Waller knows how to turn these imports around better than anybody and they almost always go better in their 2nd prep down under than their first. Big danger if he brings his European best.

Zennzella ran on pretty strongly behind So United last start on the Gold Coast, so I am unsurprised why the market has her at a short price here. She’s fit, in form and very well placed at the weights. Should be one of the strongest late.

Kalapour rightly found himself way out classed in a Melbourne Cup. Granted he had a so-so barrier and an apprentice on board so a couple of minimal excuses, but even so, he wasn’t good enough to even be there. This is more his speed. Certainly not the worst.

Selections: 11-15-13-3

Suggested Bet: So United Each Way

Race 6 – 1400M Yarraman Park (Bm100)

Marquess for me here. I was disappointed that he managed to get himself gapped so convincingly last start. The only real excuses I could come up with was the short distance and the lack of race fitness being first up. That being said, the drop back in distance seems strange, but James Cummings is no idiot, if he didn’t think that was an ideal set up, he wouldn’t do it. Placed excellently weight wise and if he is sharp enough, he wins.

Fawkner Park is a horse I have a lot of time for. He does, however, do his best work over much further than this, but he can certainly find his way into the placings if he stays withing striking distance and doesn’t get too far back.

Robusto a solid chance here. One of Waller’s perennial placing machines in the Cerise silks. Should arguably have more wins to his name and recently his form has been franked with a couple of horses who have beat him and run behind him winning/running strongly in their subsequent starts.

Kinloch is going for 3 in a row here, loves the distance and is a swimmer, so he is a solid chance to be wary of.

Selections: 13-10-11-6

Suggested Bet: Marquess Win

Race 7 – 1300M Millie Fox Stakes

Lady Laguna for me. Is Zougotcha a massive threat if she brings her best? Of course, JMac wouldn’t have jumped off of Laguna for the Big Z if she wasn’t looking like she could. But Lady Laguna is in career best form and is absolutely flying. In my mind here, with the fitness edge and the love for wet tracks, Schiller just needs to let her go. The old saying, let fast horses run fast. She is short, but she is one of my more confident bets of the day quite honestly.

Howgoodareyou and Lekvarte are the other two I would be sing to fill the exotics, as I do believe that one of the two top selections will be the winner.

Selections: 6-1-11-7

Suggested Bet: Lady Laguna Win (BEST BET)

Race 8 – 1400M Precise Air Hobartville Stakes

Strong field here but I’ve got the blinkers on for one horse and one horse only, Celestial Legend. I believe that this horse is a G1 winner in waiting and I still believe it, BUT, he needs to show me something here for me to remain that confident. Fitness gave out last start, so with the added fitness and the extra distance, I think he can at least make it into the money, if not win.

Encap next for me. One of the few horses here that doesn’t prefer a longer distance. The one career win came at this distance and boy he was running on strongly last start over the 1200m mark. Portelli is really hitting is stride lately, so wouldn’t be surprised if he comes out and wins.

Fukubana has yet to miss the placings in his short career to date. Not often that Matty Dunn puts a horse in this strong of a race and not perform well. The booking of JMac tells me how confident the camp is as well. Could firm in betting late and salute on the plunge.

Tom Kitten is a vulnerable favourite in my mind. He does his best work over much further and has bigger fish to fry this prep than this race here.

Selections: 7-2-11-1

Suggested Bet: Celestial Legend Each Way

Race 9 – 1100M Chandon (Bm94)

This is a very interesting race, because you Frilled, Derry Grove and Renosu in this one. Why is that interesting? Because those 3 horses were in a blanket finish all within a whisker of each other when losing to Brudenell two weeks ago at Randwick. Very evenly matched by the handicapper that day and the weights have all been shifted slightly here. Even though Derry Grove will give 6 kilos to Frilled, I have to be with him. Loves the wet, loves the distance, absolutely flying, at a solid each way price, I have to take him on.

Red Card rounds out selections as the favourite to cover in the exotics. But I wouldn’t be surprised if the Top 3 ran the trifecta.

Selections: 2-11-7-4

Suggested Bet: Derry Grove Each Way

Race 10 – 1300M Kia Ora Stud (Bm78)

4th week in a row I am going the favourite in the get out stakes. Gently Rolled looks very well placed here, comes in here off of a nice win against quite a few of the horses he meets again here. Drawn to do no work in getting to a good spot in transit, can go in all conditions and should be one of the strongest late.

I am a big True Crime guy. Kim Waugh trained horse that had his Spring prep cut short thanks to a bit of an injury. Reports say he is back to his best and his trials have backed that claim up in my opinion. Drawn quite wide, but has the speed to overcome that and find his way into the finish in my opinion.

Dakota Vroom comes out of the same race as Gently Rolled and quite honestly is the only one from that race that I believe could turn the tables here. Loves the wet and should find herself in a solid position in the run amongst the pack. Just needs a clear run late.

Romeo’s Choice is flying and in career best form this prep. Yes, most of his runs have been in much weaker fields, but once you get on a winning roll, sometimes that is all you need to keep that form going. Solid knockout chance.

Selections: 19-4-6-10

Suggested Bet: Gently Rolled Win

The post Saturday Racing Preview – Rosehill Tips And Best Bets 24/2/2024 Silver Slipper Day first appeared on The Mock Sports.

Track Report: Track is currently a Good 4, but throw in a bit of rain expected to fall before raceday kicks off we could tip into the Soft region, can’t see it getting any worse than a 6 since the rain is only light. Rail in the 4 metres position the entire circuit, which is just on the edge of when leaders start to get a slight advantage at Randwick, but nothing too major.

Race 1 – 1100M Pierro Plate

The 2YO feature of the weekend and its hotly contested.

I am with the horse that is the 3rd favourite in the Slipper – Shangri La Express. Just phenomenal in everything he has done to date. Big, strong, tough, everything you want in an early 2YO. Will go to the front and kick hard down the straight and hopefully get up

Switzerland looks fantastic and is the 2nd favourite for the Slipper after a super impressive showing on debut. Comes here at a very short price off of that impressive showing and the whole industry will be keeping a close eye on him, as at the moment, he is really the only strong challenger to knock off the GaiBott machine in the Slipper. He is just too short for me.

Extreme Diva set to potentially run at the Friday Night Canterbury meeting, but if she runs here she is more than capable of finding her way into the money if her debut run was anything to go off. She ran solidly behind Lady Of Camelot, who is currently, according to the market, the best filly in the Slipper, so the form reads well for this.

Excelindeed rounds out selections due to the sheer domination that the GaiBott camp has had in races such as this. On paper, he is a place chance at very best, but would anyone really be shocked if he came out and won?

Selections: 1-2-7-5

Suggested Bet: Shangri La Express Win

Race 2 – 1000M Midway (BM72)

Taking Mad Darcey in the Midway. Has been trialling in really strong company, which looks the goods on paper. This was followed by a really strong victory first up at Gosford and can go on with it here. Should sit right behind the speed and be one of the strongest late.

Rebel Dean and Delexo come in as the 2nd and 3rd selections respectfully. They both have the same formlines of coming out of the Our Kobison and Tintookie race that has provided some solid subsequent performances. They’ll both likely settle somewhere just off the pace and try and show their hand in the final stages.

Beep Test is always a sneaky roughie chance a she is never too far away in the run and has the engine to sustain a run down the straight late. Should take plenty of fitness from the first up run at Canterbury.

Selections: 13-4-1-7

Suggested Bet: Mad Darcey Each Way

Race 3 – 1800m TAB Highway (C3)

Denarau for me in the Highway. Been in solid form this prep with a solid run of placings. In saying that, she has mostly been running at Provincial and country tracks with only one city run coming at Randwick late last year finishing 2 lengths off the finish in the highway. Last start she made a lot of ground late and now gets a jump in distance that will only help you would think. Happy to take a small each way play on her.

Lensman was very close to being my top selection, but I have chucked him at the second selection in the end. The main reasoning behind that lies in the weather. Dry track seems to be the secret to his power. Can win on soft, but is a completely different horse when the deck is firm under his feet. Since the track is predicted to be soggy, I have bumped him down a peg. Remains a solid each way play.

Magic Pharoah has a tough relationship with the Highway this prep. So far 3 starts, two of them quite solid, the latest not so much. However, that can be blamed on the solid amount of traffic that the horse encountered going down the straight. A clearer lane should give her a better opportunity.

Merisi is one of the few in the race that should inject any sort of pace and considering he can go on all conditions he is certainly a danger to watch.

Selections: 12-2-10-3

Race 4 – 1300M Kia Ora Stud (BM84)

Will be with Tashi in this one. Super gutsy to get the job done first up and she looks like she will be in for a strong prep. She will ride the speed and use to slingshot her into the finish. She has never raced in this strong a field, but she gets right down in the weights to help off set that and considering she can go in just about all conditions, she is prime to get another win here.

Winchat is also coming off of a solid win and will be in the right part of the track to make a strong run. Expect him to roll forward and try and blitz the field with pure pace, as he did on the Kenso track last start. Just can’t entertain the price he is at.

Cuban Royale the old journeyman. 9 years old, 70 starts, yet only 10 wins and he still keeps on kicking. Last seen running down the track behind Zou Tiger in open listed grade. Massive drop in grade here which could be the key to his success.

Danish Fortune intrigues me here. Not often an Adelaide based horse makes their way over to Sydney, especially first up, so clearly the trainer is confident in his ability. Last seen splitting a smart pair in a Group 3 no less. Watch the market.

Selections: 9-8-1-3

Suggested Bet: Tashi Win

Race 5 – 1200M G2 Expressway Stakes

Hot, Hot race here. King of Sparta, Buenos Noches, Straight Acer, Coal Crusher, Golden Mile. Any of them could win and I wouldn’t be surprised one bit.

Buenos Noches is very short here for good reason. Almost beat Imperatriz in the Spring and beat In Secret, so he is to be considered one of the better sprinters in this country let alone this race. Honestly I really don’t want to touch this race from a punting perspective. If you’re desperate for a bet, perhaps play a SRM or a quinella, but Buenos Noches likely wins.

If King Of Sparta gets a dry track, he is the horse to beat in my mind, if it is slightly soggy, his chances drop drastically. Which has led me to not take him as the top selection. Usually I am on him wherever he goes, but if he finds some water on the track, he will likely go to water.

Malkovich is one that I could potentially entertain as the horse who could steal the race using pure pace, as he should be the only one to go forward and really try and set a hot tempo. He is a must for exotics and should be considered as a place KO chance.

Golden Mile’s best can win this for sure. But we haven’t seen his best since about Spring 2022 when he was running around as a fresh faced 3YO. Certainly a danger, but honestly needs to start showing something before they decide if its stud time or gelding time.

Selections: 4-1-6-3

Suggested Bet: Buenos Noches, King Of Sparta, Malkovich Top 4 SRM

Race 6 – 1200M G3 Triscay Stakes

Really open race here, so why not go for a bit of value here and take Penthouse at odds. She has been absolutely super this prep so far and I think she can certainly be in the finish here if not win at stakes class. She was G3 placed last start and almost won the whole race and was phenomenal considering the track bias that day. She’ll go right to the front and prove hard to get past.

Semana is a strong strong horse and I have a lot of respect for her. She is coming off a fantastic win up at the Magic Millions meeting and can go on with it here. No trials in between has me a touch worried she could find herself underdone 5 weeks between runs, but she’s talented, she’s tough, she’s smart, she could’ve run in better races than this, so she will be the one with the target on her back going around the turn.

C’est Magique is a strange prospect. Always has spurts of brilliance before failing to go on with it. 2nd in a Coolmore and a 3rd in a Gilgai would usually have her in far better classes than this. On paper, she should be a G1 horse. Unfortunately, she’s only managed to win 1 race and place in 3 others in 9 starts at the races. The elements are there, she just has to put them all together on race day.

Diamond Dealer is a talented horse for the Benchmark ranks, however, she might find herself a touch outclassed here. But, in saying that, she 100% deserves another crack at Group racing and a win wouldn’t completely shock me as it would others.

Selections: 7-2-4-6

Suggested Bet: Penthouse Each Way

Race 7 – 1400m G2 Apollo Stakes

I will, to the surprise of nobody, be sticking with Fangirl. Love her, she’s up there with my favourite horses going around at the moment. JMac won’t mess around, he will get her into the right position up behind the speed and just truck along until it is time to smash past them in the straight. Confident she gets the choccies.

Buckaroo was one of the plainer international imports in the Spring, but he has stuck around and found himself in the hands of the one and only Chris Waller. His trials have been fantastic and he looks ready to rock and roll here and finds himself at a very backable price mind you. I think he is a big danger if Waller has managed to get the best out of him.

Think It Over and Cascadian are the two old boys that are still kicking around and still present as two very strong KO chances. Both will be looking to run over the top of them late and should be included in all exotics.

Selections: 8-4-1-2

Suggested Bet: Fangirl Win (BEST BET)

RACE 8 – 1200m G2 lIGHT fINGERS sTAKES

I am with THE best girl in the Autumn last year before a shock injury almost ended her career Learning To Fly. If she is still the same horse, she can smash them here and her trials have looked outstanding. I usually like to see horses coming off such a break go around without me because of the risk of them being a little underdone, but I am willing to break that rule here and take Learning To Fly to win.

Kimochi has become one of those always the bridesmaid, never the bride type of horse who continues to plug away and come 2nd an 3rd. She is a super talent and deserves to win a big race at some point in her career and can find it here. Will be running on late.

Tiz Invincible was THE girl in the Spring. Was she a big fish in a small pond though? Or is she the special talent that it appears she can be? This is her chance to prove it. Trials have been nothing short of impressive, she’s ready to go, will be the one they need to beat come the latter stages.

Kristilli was outclassed in a field of older horses. Now back to the 3YO restricted race could have her in great stead to put in a ripper performance.

Selections: 3-1-2-5

Suggested Bet: Learning To Fly Win

Race 9 – 1600M Ranvet (Bm88)

Open affair here so I am going to revert to a horse I am quite familiar with in Miracle Spin. Won excellently when second up at this track and distance and over a couple of horses who line up here as well. Was very flat when 3rd up at Flemington when he failed as the short favourite to fire a shot. Trialled since, should be ready to go and I’ll happily have an each way play.

Estadio Mestalla has all cylinders firing thanks to Joe Pride. He has really gotten the most out of this horse and he knocked off some very solid horses last start when on the quick backup. 2 weeks between runs here, but up in distance to 1600, where he is 2/3 in his career. Bound to run well.

Louisville is going to be somewhere in the money if his form this prep is anything to go off. He hasn’t missed the trifecta once this prep and he has had 6 starts, which is fantastic consistency. He also has 2 wins this prep, neither of them at this track however.

Bullit is flying. In career best form right now, steps up in grade and as a result he will drop 5kg. Finds his pet distance as well, great each way chance to get up.

Selections: 9-5-10-12

Suggested Bet: Miracle Spin Each Way

Race 10 – 1400m Chandon Garden Spritz (BM78)

Again I have to go favourite in the last, call me boring but when you look at Thunderlips’ form you have to be impressed. First up, ran fairly in a strong field, almost all of which have gone on to win subsequent races, including the winner of that race Caballus, who last week won the Group 3 contest. Gibbons on board, down in weights, trainer is flying with Bjorn training at a 33% win rate in the last couple of weeks, all signs point to a strong run.

Gracilistyla is as consistent as they come. It is criminal that this horse only has 2 wins to his name, despite the fact he is almost always less than a couple of lengths off of the finish. Will appreciate it if the track still has some juice in it towards the end of the day.

Time Quest is a great prospect for Matt Smith. His first Aussie prep was solid enough to show he has potential to win plenty of races. He comes here off of a solid trial win, over some decent horses, which increases the confidence that he will put in a decent effort here.

Starman rounds out selections. He has been running solidly enough to warrant a place in the money come the end of this race.

Selections: 9-3-8-5

The post WATCH: The Quaddie Poddy S6 E1 – Inglis Millennium Day first appeared on The Mock Sports.

Track Report: Track is currently a Soft 6 and I would think with no more rain we’ll see the track start on either a Soft 5 or Good 4 and be upgraded throughout the day. If more rain falls, expect it to be Soft conditions all day. Rail in true position so racing should be as fair as fair can be.

Race 1 – 1600M Midway BM72

Kick off with the Midway here and I will be with Cirebon. I was at Canterbury to watch this horse’s last start and he ran really well and was hard done by not to win. He lead on the rails the entire trip and sustained his run down the straight without fading and was only just beaten on the line. I would expect he tries to shuffle over from the 8th barrier and tries to do it again and go one better this time.

Mahagoni has to go close here doesn’t he? Or surely it is time to think about retiring him. He was once one of the best benchmark horses going around and in the last 12 months he has fallen off a serious cliff. However, last start, he managed to make ground and run a really solid race behind Glory Daze, who would smash this field. That form should be enough to see him finish in the money here as a minimum.

Invincible Legend brings Estadio Mestalla form into this one and you would have to think that that is strong enough form to be running at least half decently here. He also wasn’t far off Contemporary the start before that as well, so I think this drop in grade should help quite a bit.

Monfelicity has dropped entirely off a cliff really. She is tough to trust with your money these days, but she always seems to read well placed which is why you can’t leave her out of selections.

Selections: 8-1-5-2

Suggested Bet: Cirebon Win

Race 2 – 1000M Darley Lonhro Plate

Hard race to pick. You would think Anode is the go being from the dominant Waterhouse camp, however, I am thinking of looking around them and going for Celerity. This is the horse that the market had not too far behind Lady Of Camelot last week before he got scratched at the barriers and injured JMac. If the market thought he was on par with a horse that did what Lady Of Camelot did then I am certainly interested in their thoughts here.

Castanya and Froebel both present as the value knockout chances in my mind as well, as they bring the race fitness, both finishing as the runner up in their debut outings. Castanya came 2nd to Switzerland and Froebel came 2nd to Too Darn Lizzie, which I think are two of the leading Slipper chances, so they should be running well here.

Selections: 8-1-7-9

Suggested Bet: Celerity Win

Race 3 – 1600M Inglis Classic Yearling Sale 11-13 Feb (Bm78)

I will go Nana’s Wish here in quite a thin race. Backed in to very short favouritism last start on the Kenso track in midweek company and she looked gone for all money late, but managed to knuckle down and get a tough victory for the punters. I think with extra ground and the 4kg weight drop, she should be running well.

Another Wil and Hell Hath No Fury would have to be picks 2 and 3, but they are also double nominated in Melbourne so it will be tough to judge them here. Neither has stepped a foot wrong this prep and come into this one off of a win, Hell Hath No Fury coming off of 2 actually. Both should sit amongst the chasing pack and do their best work late.

Malabar is the roughie knockout chance I would think considering he loves the distance, has been running quite solidly this time in and he is ready to peak 3rd up and run a strong race up on the pace. Watch the market to see if there are any late betting moves on him.

Selections: 8-3-4-5

Suggested Bet: Nana’s Wish Win

Race 4 – 1200M TAB Highway (C3)

I’ll be with Rapidash in the Highway simply because he has a victory over Black Duke in one of his final starts last prep. That horse has since come out and won his last two races and that is good enough form for me to have a whack at him each way.

Belvedere Boys is a short favourite for a highway, but you can see why the market doesn’t want to risk him. Yet to put a foot wrong, yet to miss the quinella in 4 starts, with a 2/2 record at this distance and 1/1 record when 2nd up. In form jockey booked as well fills me with more confidence that he could find himself backable despite the short price.

Atmospheric Rock needs a few scratchings to get into the race but, if he does, he is in this one up to his neck. One of those consistent characters that you know will always be somewhere around the finish.

Mr Wallace is a great roughie chances here. This is his pet distance, of which he is coming off a win from here. He has had great form all prep so far and you would think he can get into a stalking position from that 4th barrier that will put him in good stead.

Selections: 10-3-20-8

Suggested Bet: Rapidash Each Way

Race 5 – 1300M The Westmead Institute For Medical Research (Bm78)

I will go with Howgoodareyou. Have to respect the Waterhouse and Bott camp as they are simply flying at the moment. This horse won 4/6 races in his debut prep so she certainly has the ability to get the job done here. Lumped with a large weight but has a 2 weight claim to help with that. Draws the inside and is the only speed in the race, she should be hard to run down.

Gently Rolled is marked as the $3 favourite currently thanks to the strong form behind the talented Willaidow. Ran great last start, however, she just peaked in fitness really. She should strip fitter from that effort and give an almighty kick in the latter stages of the race.

Rupertaar almost never runs a bad race and should be respected here. Comes into this one off of a solid run behind Tashi where she just couldn’t quite round them up. I believe she is knocking on the door of retirement after this prep, so lets hope she can get one final win before that happens.

Elettrica will get better over further, but she is more than capable of finding her way into the money here.

Selections: 2-7-3-6

Suggested Bet: Howgoodareyou Win

race 6 – 1200M Silverdale Farm Eskimo Prince Stakes

I will be with a horse that was a sneaky fly under the radar type in Spring in Celestial Legend. He was running around with Ozzmosis in that prep and we all know how much I rate him. I think he is in for a huge prep and should mature into a real 1200-1600m type that has a blistering finish and he can show that here with a win.

Griff is obviously a big danger here as he won the Caulfield Guineas. But in saying that, his best will likely come over longer, however, his trials have been real sharp and he was a surprise packet in the Spring, so there’s nothing to suggest he can’t surprise again here.

Tom Kitten another horse who will almost certainly get better over longer. He is after all, a Spring Champion Stakes winner. So its interesting to see him resume back at the sprints. He’ll likely need the run you would think, but class can take you a long way in this.

Encap was another surprise packet in the Spring. He, along with Kimochi came out and became Gary Portelli’s two next chances at Group 1 success, before both of them ended up becoming perennial place getters. Will be running on late.

Selections: 6-1-2-3

Suggested Bet: Celestial Legend Win

Race 7 – 1100M Inglis Millennium

Fully Lit just has to have my money. Is the 17th barrier a major query? Yes. Does he have the speed to overcome it? You would also think yes. However, he will have to do it the tough way and if he manages it, he will rocket into 2nd or 3rd favouritism for the Slipper you would think for sure. Bayliss will do everything in his power to get him over the line.

Odinson is a interesting prospect here. Tough luck on debut, before bouncing back with a gutsy win in the Inglis Nursery at the tail end of last year. Ridden by an Irish import jockey who was just fantastic in his short stint last year, so he could certainly pick up where he left off. Drawn to get shuffled back, which is the only major query on paper.

Trunk has to be considered a chance purely because of her trainer. Does he have to ability to stack up to his stablemate? From what he has shown so far, its looking more likely he doesn’t. However, he has the lead stable rider on and a much better draw, so don’t be surprised if he comes out and wins and becomes chance number 11 for Gai in the Slipper.

Rue De Royale has the formlines to be running well here, despite not really threatening to win in either of his starts to win. 5 lengths off of Bold Bastille, who some are saying are a moral at Caulfield, and a length and a half off of Shangri La Express, who is a top Slipper chance. Obviously needs to find more here, but his trials have been sharp.

Selections: 4-1-7-2

Suggested Bet: Fully Lit Win

Race 8 – 1000M Laurel Oak Bloodstock (Bm94)

Frilled might be the boring choice here but beware the unbeaten horse, you never know how good they are until they are beaten and so far this horse hasn’t lost a single race or trial and that is in 5 race attempts and 6 trials. Gets a soft draw to lead and set the pace, she will be hard to get past if her prior performances stack up. Is she really that good? Time to find out.

Derry Grove is flying, there is no two ways about it. He had a phenomenal prep in the Spring that was littered with victories and he came out and won with ease at the Magic Millions meeting on the Gold Coast when first up. He has well and truly earnt his position in a race like this.

Barber is a really interesting horse in the sense that as a 2YO, he was a top prospect and then he seemingly fell off a cliff in his 3YO spring prep. But, Ozzmosis form is form I respect and he’s got it. So, I will be watching him with a keen eye.

Omni Man‘s form speaks for itself here. 3/4 when first up, 5/7 when at this distance, 1/2 at the track, it all just screams back me doesn’t it? So, I couldn’t possibly leaver him out of the numbers.

Selections: 8-3-7-2

Suggested Bet: Frilled Win

Race 9 – 1600M Asi Solutions Hcp

I am a huge Marquess guy. Is his  best over a little longer than this? Yes, but he has won from 1300 all the way to 1900, so he is versatile and super tough. His best can certainly win this even with the distance query. His last start was a butcher job that saw him posted 3 wide and gassed enough his whole prep was cut short. The same man rides him on Saturday in Zac Lloyd, lets hope and pray it goes better this time around.

Amor Victorious has only missed the trifecta twice in his career and considering he has 3 from his last 4 runs, he is prime to get up again here and add another win to his regime. Undefeated at this distance and if the track stays soggy, he is undefeated in those conditions as well.

Floating and Principessa round out the selections as value knockout chances, but I am very confident one of the top two selections will be winning this.

Selections: 7-8-10-9

Suggested Bet: Marquess Win

Race 10 – 1200M Precise Air (Bm78)

Tintookie is a horse I have followed quite closely the last few preps as she is just so honest. What you see is what you get. You know she’ll put every effort in and end up somewhere near the finish. Throw in the fact that her running mate has been Our Kobison of late and last week he managed to smash the clock and break the Rosehill Track record for 1200m reads fantastically on paper.

So Good So Cool is a horse I have also followed quite closely and boy oh boy will I be mad if he finally gets his very deserved win here without me on at a great price. Consistent horse who is never too far away and we know my admiration for the Sara Ryan stable already. Solid each way play.

Fire and Mrs Chrissie round out selections, but once again, I am very confident in my top two selections, especially Tintookie.

Selections: 3-7-2-8

The post Saturday Racing Preview – Randwick Tips And Best Bets 10/2/2024 Inglis Millennium Day first appeared on The Mock Sports.

Track Report: Track should be a genuine Good 4 by the jump of the first race and with the rail out 6 metres for the entire circuit, horses will want to be in the first half of the field going around the bend to have the strongest chance of winning.

Race 1 – 1350M Midway (Bm72)

I’ll take Pharaoh’s Reign here for a whack at the stumps. Tim Clark should get her up on the pace where she does her best work and as long as she doesn’t over race, she should be right in the thick of things late. Usually likes to get over longer distances and get her toe in the ground, but has been known to be quite sharp when fresh.

Dimaggio found himself in much sharper company the last time he was in a Midway, when he ran 4 lengths off winner Willaidow. He will however, gain a lot of fitness from that run and will surely improve drastically 2nd up, as he has never missed the trifecta in 5 goes.

Trezie is this week’s lightly raced, full of promise prospect that gets its chance to hang with the big boys for the first time after impressing at the midweek level. Has yet to miss the trifecta in its short career, can go in all conditions and will carry absolute feathers.

Black Duke is a consistent character who never finds himself too far away in these sorts of contests. Will be one of the strongest home and should be respected.

Selections: 3-1-9-6

Suggested Bet: Pharaoh’s Reign

Race 2 – 1500M Tab Highway Plate (C3)

Taking Cenotes in this one. Drawn to do no work on the rails and find himself in a stalking position behind the main leaders. Has had two forgive runs to date this prep, with the first ending in horror as he was severely bumped and taken out of it, followed by a run on a soft deck, which he has been known to dislike way more than his much preferred dry deck. Gets that here and should go well.

Stay Safe was very impressive at Ballina last start, there is no two ways about it. He was backed into Winx like odds and then proceeded to smash the rest of the pack by almost 6 lengths, so his spot here as favourite is warranted. Gets the most in form jockey in NSW right now in Nash Rawiller on board, so you know he will get every chance.

Missile Leader has 1 start to date in Highway company and that was when he ran a respectable 6th at this track to finish off his winter prep. Since he has had two solid starts in the country, the last of which was a tough win. Gets Tommy Berry on board and a decent draw, he should put in a decent effort.

Elson Boy rounds out selections. I was on him last start where he put in a slightly above average performance where he tired late. The fitness and slight drop in distance should help.

Selections: 3-5-17-4

Suggested Bet: Cenotes Each Way

Race 3 – 1100M Arrowfield Canonbury Stakes

Here is where the Slipper Season starts to pick up as the 2YO Stakes races begin for the year. This one being for the boys.

Prost seems the obvious choice from the market perspective, but I do indeed think he deserves the pricetag. His only start to date was a fantastic run in the Breeder’s Plate, where he finished less than a length off the winner. He has since had two faultless trials that saw him beat some proven talents, like stablemate Shangri La Express. Gai Waterhouse horses must always be respected as well in races such as this.

King Of Rosseau tired late to get beaten by a fair margin by Fully Lit, who is another one of Waterhouse’s top Slipper prospects. He will push to the front and give the something to chase and considering this will be his 3rd start, compared to most of the field who is first up, he will have the fitness edge.

Fearless also comes from the Breeder’s Plate, where he also wasn’t far off the finish. Since then he has had two nice trial wins, both over Bodyguard, who has already proven to be an early 2YO Stakes winner, so that form reads excellently on paper.

Excelindeed is yet another Waterhouse horse who could measure up here. First start for the camp, but you know he will be rock hard fit and somewhere near the front going into the final stages, certainly an upset chance.

Selections: 8-6-5-4

Suggested Bet: Prost Win

Race 4 – 1200M Tab Southern Cross Stakes

I have always been a big Lady Laguna guy and hence I have to be on her here, especially since she is absolutely flying. Found her niche up in QLD recently with a couple of strong wins that has her in career best form. Comes back to Sydney now with a strong set up. JMac on board, should put her on the tail of the leader and run past him in the straight.

That leader in question will be no doubt Malkovich. He has become a bit of a money muncher of late, one of those trials like Tarzan runs like Jane types. However, he is excellently placed here in a race that is not that deep on talent. With the rail out so far, a soft draw and a readiness to peak 3rd up, he is prime to be running very well and finding himself very hard to get past.

Hard To Say and Kristillli perhaps the only others I could possibly entertain, but I think the first two will be the only two strong winning chances here.

Selections: 3-2-6-8

Suggested Bet: Lady Laguna Win

Race 5 – 1100M Widden Stakes

Now for the girls to have a crack at Stakes level racing.

I hate backing both short favourites in 2YO races especially, but I just can’t go past Lady Of Camelot. Everything she has done to date has been super impressive and she looks to be another one of Waterhouse’s seemingly endless Slipper chances. She was arguably the most impressive Filly at the first juvenile trials back in September before being swooped late in the Gimcrack Stakes. Her trials since have been nothing short of impeccable. She is ready to go and ready to win a race.

Manaal is the other girl I am really interested in here. She put in a real under the radar performance at those September trials and as a result Nicko specked her at over $40 on the podcast in the Gimcrack and low and behold she got the job done. She will be super strong late and be ripe to pounce on them if the leaders go too hard up front.

Wavebreaker has trial form around all the right horses to be running well here as she has been well held in the company of Manaal, Fearless and Bodyguard, all top early 2YO prospects. The stable is starting to hit their stride with their 2YO’s as well and Kerrin McEvoy is on a strong run of form also, definite betting watch.

Pushpa rounds out selections. If any horse is going to cause a huge upset at big odds it will be this girl I feel. Well bred out of a solid 2YO performer and has shown more and more promise with every trial. Annabel Neasham has managed to produce a few very strong 2YO’s in the last couple of years so this girl winning wouldn’t shock me.

Selections: 6-1-9-7

Suggested Bet: Lady Of Camelot Win

Race 6 – 2000M James Squire (Bm78)

Age Of Sail for me. No secret I love a good import stayer as they are typically much stronger than the ones we produce down under. This boy looks to be a solid pick up for the Lees stable, which, if they play their cards right, could end up at stakes company by the end of the prep I feel. He was tasked with a big weight and unfamiliar distance when first up at Warwick Farm, but still knuckled down and got the job done. Fitter and up to a much preferred staying distance and he should be extremely hard to beat.

Morning Sun could honestly have a cut and paste description there. European stayer imported by a top stable, who are known for getting the best out of imports and he comes out of the very same race as Age Of Sail when he came a very narrow second to him. I think these two could gap the rest and be a simple quinella, just like they were at Warwick Farm.

Jack Duggan and Kettle Hill are the two I believe will be running for 3rd and hence round out selections here.

Selections: 2-4-9-1

Suggested Bet: Age Of Sail Win

Race 7 – 1500M Breed 4 Speed With Kia Ora Stallions (Bm88)

Getting back on the Ita train here. She has had a horror run with barriers as of late which has taken her out of races. But she draws soft here which has her right in the thick of things. Went three wide, after getting a bit of the ways back from a wide draw in her last start but still battled on for 3rd in a flashing run. The good draw and weight relief, with Dyl Gibbons on board should have her in great stead.

Robusto has found himself a purple patch of form and with another win here could finally shed his tag of always being the bridesmaid, as he will have just as many wins as placings. JMac sticks after getting him over the line last start in solid company and by almost a couple of lengths as well. Draws to get a cushy run as well.

Logan Street Lion does his best work over longer distances, but he has been known to run very well when fresh and his form was scattered with top talents last prep such as Marquess and Just Fine, two horses who I hold in very high regard.

Estadio Mestalla comes here on the one week back up with a quick jump in distance. Joe Pride is the absolute king of this set up so don’t be surprised if he comes out and wins despite having to pick up 3 lengths in just 7 days.

Selections: 8-2-4-6

Suggested Bet: Ita Each Way

Race 8 – 1350M Vale Bill Camer (Bm78)

Infatuation is a horse that I have been on many times and he has done me both well and terribly in the past if I am being honest. However, to her credit, she has often found herself outclassed in tough fields. She managed to finish just a length off the winner in the recent Magic Millions 3YO Guineas, which tells me she has more ability in her then she lets on. Fingers crossed she can put in her best effort here and get over the top.

Buillt has been racing in career best form as of late and needs to be respected as such. Stays in the same grade and drops in distances which is an odd set up and gets him lumped with the top weight, but he has 3 wins from his last 4 runs and JMac on board, so he will have every chance to make it 4 from his last 5.

Gracilistyla will likely be in the finish as its just her nature to be right in the thick of things, threaten to win, before peaking and finishing a strong 2nd or 3rd. Will likely get towards the rear but as long as she stays within striking distance she is a chance.

Saltcoats did enough without setting the world on fire in his first Australian prep. The form from that first prep has since stacked up, producing a stack of subsequent winners as well. Trials have been solid. Could explode here.

Selections: 9-1-4-7

Suggested Bet: Infatuation Win

Race 9 – 1200M Schweppes (Bm88)

So Good So Cool for me. How many times have I praised Sara Ryan in these articles? I just think she has a fantastic record for a boutique stable. For those wondering she currently trains at 23% win rate and 46% place rate so far this season and you would have almost doubled your money if you backed every single one of her horses to win. This horse has been building to a win all prep and I believe it comes here.

Our Kobison is obviously the big danger, as it has been in ripping form as of late. He has barely put a foot wrong in his career and was super when bursting clear late to win his last start. JMac sticks which shows he clearly likes the horse, has every chance to gap them again, I just can’t entertain the current price of being under $2. So if it wins, it will be without my money.

Dipsy Doodle is another horse who has been super consistent to date so far and has been in the company of some very strong horses, who have since gone on to be group performers. Trials have been good, one of the main dangers.

Dalaalaat could make an argument for being the most consistent benchmark horse in the country. In his last 5 starts he has 1 wind and 4 losses, if you combine the margin of those losses, it adds up to less than 3 lengths combined, displaying that he is almost always in the finish. I expect he will put in a similar effort here.

Selections: 9-6-10-2

Suggested Bet: So Good So Cool Each Way

Race 10 – 1200M Expect It All This Autumn At Atc (Bm72)

The Black Cloud for me and I am confident she gets the choccies. 2/2 to start her career, both of which have been very smart outings, where she has pushed to the front and gotten the job done by simply out pacing her opponents. Jay Ford sticks which is something I like to see from Joe Pride in sticking to what has been working instead of giving the ride to a bigger name. She is the bottom weight and is well drawn. Excellently placed and should win this one on her way to much bigger and better things.

Stefi Magnetica is the other lightweight filly that will make sure the favourite doesn’t get everything her way. Looked like a good thing down at Flemington last start, but just got outrun by a stronger horse. I also suspect she prefers going around a bend. Can definitely bounce back here off of that.

Afterlight and Convincebility round out selections to add some juice to the trifectas. But I am confident one of the top two selections are winning, especially the favourite.

Selections: 14-13-2-3
