A tricky eight race card greets punters at Rosehill on Saturday although two consistent gallopers appeal midway through the afternoon.
The whole program is comprised of open contests and making a watertight case for any of the runners isn’t easy.
Those who do attempt to run the gauntlet might be interested in You’ll Never who is in search of a third straight success.
The gelding has found two highly suitable races to commence his campaign in and on Saturday finds another.
A field of nine contests the TAB Rewards Open Handicap where You’ll Never is currently vying for favouritism with the Peter Moody-trained Mirage.
It is hard to split them however the way the map reads, You’ll Never again gets a genuine early speed which he can rattle home off.
Having had Rain Affair bowling along out front, on Saturday the likes of King Cobia, Beauty’s Beast and even Mirage can potentially set a solid clip.
The gelding is in cracking form at present and looks hard to hold out in search of three straight successes.
Brook Road resumes in the Cellarbrations Benchmark 85 Handicap (1100m).
The mare returns from a two start autumn campaign where she was outclassed at Group level.
The Kris Lees-trained mare earlier in the season though chalked up black type with a Listed success at Doomben and a minor placing in the Group 3 Nivison Stakes behind the consistent Avoid Lightning.
Saturday’s Cellarbrations Handicap (1100m) is one of the easier assignments she has encountered for some time now.
At this stage, Brook Road will face eight rivals who for the majority are simply a class below.
Brook’s Road has looked sharp in trials to prepare her for this and has leading Sydney jockey Blake Shinn engaged.
It is shaping as a recipe for success, especially considering her already strong first up record.
