Luke & Mick's Feature Race Plays
Luke Hovhanesian and Mick Gannon have all the mail you need for a massive G1 day of racing at Rosehill.
Get the inside scoop on their top selections now and make sure you're fully prepared with this comprehensive form guide for the upcoming features.
Race 5 - Four Pillars (1500m) - Luke Hovhanesian
This is such a wide-open field and the winner could come from anywhere.
The horse that looks overs to my eye is Apollo Mission ($15.00) from the flying Mitch Beer stable.
He was 6 weeks between runs when running home strongly and will sharply improve here.
Rort Hutchings is a great jockey and will give him every chance from the wide barrier.
Race 7 - Russell Balding Stakes (1300m) - Luke Hovhanesian
Lady Laguna ($17.00) looks a massive price here.
Third up and now at peak fitness don't be surprised to see them press the button and race much further forward.
Last start she rattled home in the race-best last 200m in the Sydney Stakes and now rising to 1300m looks set to peak.
A great each-way play at a big quote.
Race 8 - Golden Eagle (1500m) - Mick Gannon
Lazaat ($6.50) is a classy French galloper who is undefeated at 6 career starts.
He brings the highest rating into this race and is set to improve on his already impressive record.
He's an on-speed type who can take advantage middle draw and a race that lacks speed.
If he runs near his last two starts, he should prove a class above his rivals.
Race 9 - Rosehill Gold Cup (2000m) - Mick Gannon
Relentless Voyage ($6.50) ran well in the Ebor finishing alongside the Geelong Cup winner Onesmoothoperator and Bendigo Cup winner Sea King.
He was given a below-average ride by Oisin Murphy on that occasion and arguably should have finished much closer to the winner.
The form lines have been franked and we've seen time and time again these overseas stayers having the wood on the locals.
I have him rated $3.20 and the $6.50 is huge overs.
