Quick Analysis:

Starting today off in Ballarat, Perfect Night looks good coming into this one second-up. The mare finished third at Geelong first-up, about 1.5L off the winner, and she should be fitter for that run under her belt. She was making up a lot of ground late, so the step up to 1,400m looks suitable. This one doesn’t look to be materially harder than her first-up run, so I’m expecting a better result here.

Quick Analysis:

Heading to Doomben now, and Spiethtacular has been there or thereabouts so far this prep without breaking through for a win. She has finished second in back-to-back runs at Doomben, both less than a length off the winner. It looks like the third time's the charm for the 5YO, and Angela Jones, who was onboard last time out, sticks once again. They are good enough to overcome the wide draw.

Rosehill - Race 6, 6:45 PM

Quick Analysis:

Wrapping things up at Rosehill with Regal Problem. The favourite is shooting for a hat-trick of wins this prep after winning at Gosford and Kensington to kick things off. Tyler Schiller is back in the saddle once again, and barrier five looks ideal as well. The 4YO will have to lug around the top weight, but her class should prove too good for this field, and she’s already won three from five attempts on a Good-rated track.

Stats and Insights

  • Savagram comes from a respected barn and won at Canterbury three runs back this prep. He can return to winning form once again in Race 5 at Randwick.
  • Immortal Spirit is on the seven-day back-up and just missed at double-digit odds at Gawler last start. He can go close again in Race 5 at Balaklava.
  • Yorokobi won at Bordertown last start and has three wins from 14 starts this campaign. He can continue his strong form in Race 6 at Balaklava.
