Betting Tips: Early Market Movers at Sandown and Rosehill 1/2/25

Five, yes, another five winners for our Early Market Movers.

Over the last 90 days we have stuffed over $3,000 cash profit into punter's pockets.

This week strong early betting moves have been observed, with noted betting stables showing their hand early.

At Sandown, a Ciaron Maher stayer looks primed to peak, with a drop in grade likely to prove the key.

Meanwhile at Rosehill, a runner returning from the Magic Millions Day (night) meeting is expected to improve significantly after the trip away.

Sandown Tips

Le Don De Vie

Racing for a high-profile ownership group, this seasoned stayer thrives on fitness and race conditioning, especially now that he’s older.

The drop in grade is key, as this is the easiest race he’s faced in some time.

Early support suggests he’s flying at home and if the stable has him primed, he’ll be tough to beat.

Impressive Enuff

Backing up quickly after racing last week, Impressive Enuff comes into this with residual fitness.

He was unsuited by an on-pace bias last start at Sandown, which explains his midfield finish.

From gate 1 he can settle much closer in the run, which could be the decisive factor.

A big improver with a more favourable race shape.

Garnacho

Damian Lane retains the ride here, a strong indicator he liked what he felt last start when Garnacho scraped in for a win at Flemington.

He wasn’t ideally suited racing closer to the speed over 1600m, and he had to work at times in the run.

Now stepping up to 1800m, he should appreciate the extra trip and looks well-placed to win again.

Nana’s Wish

Progressing well in this preparation, Nana’s Wish finally gets out to 1800m, a trip that looks ideal.

She ran well at Flemington over 1600m, where she covered extra ground yet still found the line for third place.

She has tactical speed, so the wide draw (gate 11) isn’t a major concern.

if she finds cover in the moving line, she’ll be finishing strongly.

Rosehill Tips

Blitzberg

Well-backed last start at Eagle Farm ($3.80 into $3.10).

He was slightly disappointing when third, but his first trip away could have been a key learning curve.

Back at his home track, expect sharp improvement.

The stable will want to deliver for an influential owner and from barrier 2, he’ll either lead or sit just behind the pace, ensuring every chance.

Tempted

Heavily backed when bolting in on debut at Warwick Farm, Tempted was a clear stable tip that day.

Last start, things didn’t go to plan as she was caught wide and had to work too hard.

With a more economical run, expect improvement.

The booking of Tim Clark, a front-running specialist, suggests they’ll be showing intent early which could be a race-winning move.

Hard To Say

Things didn’t go right for Hard To Say on Magic Millions Day (night), where he over-raced and never found a rhythm.

Now rock-hard fit and returning to Sydney, the trip away could bring him on nicely.

The booking of James McDonald adds further intrigue as he’s selective with outside rides, meaning his team must have strong mail on the horse’s condition.

If money arrives late, expect a winning performance.

Eye Of The Fire

Consistently well-supported in betting, Eye Of The Fire has been a big tip on course in recent starts.

Last time, he was ridden back in the field, chasing well to place second in a field of seven.

The step up to 1200m now looks ideal.

With plenty of speed engaged, the race should set up perfectly for him to launch home late.
