Rosehill Review

R4 was the G2 Silver Slipper and our good thing in the Waterhouse trained Straight Charge rated at $1.70 was again outstanding. Home in 22.2 rating 99/97. He has the best numbers of all the 2yo's thus far and has untapped potential. Gai also has the runner up Espionage who rated 94/96 when first up and did really stick to guns. Home 22.1 which was faster than the winner. Not expecting much between them when they step to 6 furlongs

The Listed Parramatta Cup was R5 and the winner More Felons was hard to find. He was first up at 1900m and having only 3rd run in Oz but found absolute best rating 97/103. It is often the case with imports they find their best in 2nd campaign. Gold Miners were cheering the runner up Almania, we rated him at $4.90 and he was beaten a head at $17. 96/99 was very good 2nd up and he looks primed to peak next start.  The 4th horse Canberra Legend is another import and he was huge after being wide the trip.

R7 was the G2 Millie Fox for the girls and our 1 x 3 play Lady Laguna ran a bold 2nd but was no match for the resuming Zougotcha who returned to best after not coming up at all last time in and the money suggested that may well be the case.92/96 was rock solid and I think there is more to come. Those 2 dominated the field. 

The G2 Hobartville for the 3yos was R8 and we found the impressive winner Celestial Legend who returned to very best at 2nd run back. He was dominant rating 106/108 in clearly the best run of the day. We can follow him with confidence. Encap came 2nd rating 98/98, this guy is handy and yet to fully come into own.  Fav Tom Kitten never looked likely after getting right back. Only 92/95 but obviously suited over further and will have gotten plenty out of it.
