Betting Tips: Early Market Movers at Flemington and Rosehill 2/11/24

With the huge Flemington carnival kicking off which is well supported by the Rosehill Golden Eagle card, punters have crunched the prices of several key runners early.

At Flemington, the big betting John O’Shea yard is out in force and have a number of leading chances in the features, which have been attacked in betting early.

Whilst at Rosehill a Price/Kent import makes his Australian debut and must be showing them plenty at home to warrant the strong early support.

Flemington Tips

Schwarz

O’Shea runner who the stable will be keen to have right for a prominent owner and large syndicate in Rosemont, with the potential for more business from them.

He was very good when winning the Missile Stakes at his only start last prep and remains in the hunt for stud duties if he can collect Group wins.

I’d expect with J Mac booked he is very forward in condition and ready to win this fresh.

Jimmysstar

Class galloper who is still on the way up and does appear a genuine Group 1 horse.

The stablemate (Another Will) is very good, however drawn low he will need to burn early if they opt to race forward and this could set it up for Jimmysstar to come home over the top.

If the speed goes on expect it is advantage Jimmy, and that is the most likely scenario here.

King Of Thunder

Has to be the biggest tip of the year with every man and his dog happy to tell you this is the one in the Derby!

The O’Shea camp is lethal when they bet and clearly must have the horse going well, there is also a slight concern about the fitness of current favourite El Castello.

He appears rock bottom odds now however it would not surprise to see further money arrive close to start time and he could brain these.

A Little Deep

Has been up a long time now in a very successful campaign, where now rock-hard fit she may be advantaged.

The stable must have kept her ticking over nicely to press on to the Cup week and I expect she is still showing them plenty at home.

Provided the inside is not off for straight racing and she can find the preferred lanes to the middle or wider, she should be in the finish.

Rosehill Tips

Firestar         

The stable is very good at handling the stock of high-profile and influential owners who expect results and do apply pressure to the trainer.

He was very good winning last start at Warwick Farm where sat outside the leader in a tough on-speed performance.

Given the strength he showed late over 1200m last time out expect he is very well suited by the step up in distance to 1300m here.

Yes.

Uzziah

Is no stranger to city racing where a last-start Randwick winner when didn’t have the most charmed run, yet still prevailed.

He has been kept up to the mark with a recent tick-over trial which is generally a good sign they are going well and the stable are confident there are more wins coming.

From gate 5 and with good tactical speed they have plenty of options here and can opt to press forward and look for the lead or sit just off the first pair and peel as they like.  

Craig

Melbourne raider who has a had big boom on him all the way through.

He adds some X factor here and could be the one steaming home late if they go crazy early and through the mid-stages.

Nash loves to jump aboard a hit and run mission for this stable and has had plenty of success for them in the past.

This could have been a plan from a long way out!

Seganti     

Price/Kent import who is having his Australian debut and must be ready now to be entered in Sydney Saturday metro grade.

He wasn’t cheap and the ownership group will be very keen to recoup some of the purchase price and high associated costs of landing a horse from Europe.

With a strong trend towards buying more imports, the stable will be desperate to showcase they have the ability to train this style of horse and should have him prepped up to the minute.
