Golden Rose Stakes

Date 26th September 2020 Distance 1400m Grade Group 1 Track  Rosehill Prize money $1,000,000 Class 3YO SW 2019 winner Bivouac ($2.70) With less than four weeks until the Golden Rose Stakes, we talk to David Gately and Michael Gannon and get their early predictions for the $1 million race.   Golden Rose Stakes: Horses to follow   Gator says... NORTH PACIFIC He was a brilliant winner recently in the Group 3 Up & Coming Stakes at Randwick. He runs time, he relaxes and the stable keep saying that they can't wait to see him on drier ground. It is rare for a horse to be effective on Heavy ground and only improve on a dry track, but perhaps he's an exception?   ROTHFIRE Has had a little set-back and missed a jump-out, which is not ideal. However, the trial prior was excellent and his win in the Group 1 JJ Atkins before the break was awesome. In that clash, he rode a hot speed and raced away with it. It was a performance of an elite young athlete.   OVERLORD Tipped him to beat Rothfire at big odds in that JJ Atkins but he was given no hope, way back in traffic. He flew home to finish 3.9L behind the winner, Rothfire! Very quiet at the trials so doubt that helps. I'm willing to forgive his run on Saturday, where he looked tardy first-up. Could go through the roof and looks the one early that is a blow out hope.    FARNAN Flew at the trials and sits at the head of the table from two-year-old performances. No knock on him!   Gannon says... MAMARAGAN Was huge on Saturday when chasing tearaway leader, Anders. He will continue to improve throughout his prep and I expect him to peak for this race!   FARNAN Gai has declared he won't be beaten this prep, which comes as no surprise after his recent trial win. He's the proven commodity and is a serious Group 1 race horse. He looks set to run through walls this prep and the 1400m looks ideal.   PELTZER  Looks the only other danger to these two for mine. He returned in great style at Rosehill on Saturday and will improve significantly off the back of that run. The bigger field in the Golden Rose Stakes will assist him greatly. He's a versatile galloper and looks set for a huge prep.    2020 Golden Rose Stakes All-In market RUNNER WIN $ Farnan 4.20 North Pacific 5.50 Mamaragan 7.00 Peltzer 8.00 Rothfire 8.50 Kings Legacy 14.00 Doubtland 17.00 Prague 17.00 Overlord 26.00 Holyfield 34.00 Ole Kirk 34.00 Prime Star 34.00 Bartley 51.00 Conceited 51.00 Dame Giselle 51.00 Global Quest 51.00 Hungry Heart 51.00 Postcode 51.00 Saffiano 51.00 Torun 51.00 Untamed 51.00 Aim 67.00 Dubai Star 67.00 Macroura 67.00 Wild Ruler 67.00 Sauvestre 81.00 Barbaric 101 Beyliks 101 Centimental 101 Dismissal 101 Every Rose 101 Hanseatic 101 I Am Swerving 101 I Say Hello 101 Invincible Jet 101 Jerle 101 Justwins 101 Kinloch 101 Kumasi 101 Malkovich 101 Marnix 101 Mount Fuji 101 Need I Say More 101 Nitrous 101 Osamu 101 Ranting 101 Rathlin 101 Reignite 101 Remorseless 101 Return With Honour 101 Rock My Wand 101 Rousseau 101 Sancy 101 Shivani 101 Smart Image 101 Stellar Pauline 101 Wheelhouse 101 Yardstick 101 Damaged 151 Initiation 151 Starosa 151 Argenteus 201 Easy Campese 201 Fayerra 201 Formentera 201 Jet Propulsion 201 Private Weapon 201 Raazou 201 Spokesman 201 Zeftabrook 201
