Rosehill Rippers
All eyes will be on the weather prior to this weekend's racing.
While there is no doubt we will be on a surface with the sting out of it, just how badly the rain affects the track is up to the Gods.
Our expert analysts have done the form and come up with their top picks.
Rosehill Tip from Dean Watling
Rosehill Race 8 #4 Mr Mozart $3.60
Mr Mozart returns here over the 1300m.
He has had the two trials leading in with both being impressive.
The first over a shorter trip was solid with his work through the line being smart.
The 2nd was over 1000m. Berry gave him a click-up with 200m to go and he set out after the leaders in slick fashion to find the line with intent.
Impressive work.
He is still lightly raced and gets down in the weights here.
He rates exceptionally well and has drawn a perfect gate with Pike aboard, who is 3/3 with the horse.
Handles all conditions and looks very well placed here.
Keen on him.
Rosehill Tip from Luke Hovhanesian
Rosehill Race 5 #5 Bacchanalia $5.00
This 4YO gelding resumes on the back of two super trials where he wasn't asked for much up on the pace.
At his latest trial, he was neck and neck with star colt Sejardan for the entire straight, before being edged out on the line.
He strikes a very suitable race first up and gets conditions to suit with this expected rain set to his Sydney.
He has an outstanding record in the wet (6:4-1-1) and gets the booking of Jmac to alleviate the wide draw.
There isn't an abundance of pace inside him and with a clean getaway can come across to sit behind the leaders.
He is the most talented horse in this field on his day, and just requires an ounce of luck to be winning this in style.
Rosehill Tip from Michael Gannon
Rosehill Race 9 #2 Bella Nipotina $8.00
This Maher and Eustace trained mare is in career-best form and can go on with it here.
The set-weights and penalties sees her in very well at the weights, carrying only 56kg.
She won the Group 2 Sapphire on a Heavy at Randwick in the Autumn so we know she's more than capable of winning the Sydney way of going.
The wide barrier is less than ideal and I think we really need the predicted 8-10mm of rain to land for her to run.
If the rain comes on Friday, her chances increase significantly and I think we'll see her start much shorter on Saturday.
