BACK: 8. Sister Daae (WIN) for 3 units (Rated at $3.00)
Competitive race but SISTER DAAE stands out off the back some consistent form in similar races, but doing so on a heavy track. Expect she can find some improvement getting onto an improving track here today and rising slightly up in trip suits her with how she has hit the line in recent runs.

LAY: 9. Nkosi (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $6.50)
Taking on current race favourite NKOSI in the set up of this race today. He certainly impressed when making his stable debut at Wyong in a Class 1. He now takes a step up in level into a metro level racebut 2nd up comes back down slightly in trip, this race shapes to have a hotter early tempo than the race he won at Wyong which could have him land in a different position in running and feel with the change in trip, he may be vulnerable at some stage.

ROSEHILL PREVIEW AND TIPS | EXPERT TIPS | SATURDAY AUGUST 30TH 2025
RAIL: +3m Entire TRACK: Soft 6
Clear weather expected through race day which could see this track rapidly improve from what conditions it has faced in recent meetings here. If the track is drying out, there is the potential that the inside lanes may play quickest so monitor for any advantages of runners who are rails in run.
10. Starphistocated
7. Wild Thoughts
5. Sunset Park
4. Monkhana
Betting Strategy
A very open betting market for this weeks edition of the Midway. Leant towards STARPHISTOCATED who was well supported last start and appears to get a softer race map for this today. WILD THOUGHTS has a crack at a race up in grade off the back of 2 wins in a row and in strong form. SUNSET PARK comes into the race as a last start winner and looks one of the likely key influences of this race which may suit. MONKHANA won a similar race to this last start and looks suited rising in trip for this today.
4. Warrior For Peace
3. Solitario
6. Al Flores
10. Miss Fennell
Betting Strategy
WARRIOR FOR PEACE comes into this race fresh having had good recent success in similar races to this today. He is coming in from the freshen up with a winning trial so expecting he will be in good order. SOLITARIO hasn’t missed the top 3 in 4 runs this prep including 2 wins. Draws well and gets the services of McDonald. AL FLORES is in good form having won 2 of her last 3 starts, gets a good chance to take a step up here. MISS FENNELL maps for run of the race settling in a prominent position from barrier 4.
8. Sister Daae
3. Vienna Vixen
7. Amreekiyah
1. Sacred Rocks
Betting Strategy
BACK: 8. Sister Daae (WIN) for 3 units (Rated at $3.00)
Competitive race but SISTER DAAE stands out off the back some consistent form in similar races, but doing so on a heavy track. Expect she can find some improvement getting onto an improving track here today and rising slightly up in trip suits her with how she has hit the line in recent runs.

LAY: 9. Nkosi (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $6.50)
Taking on current race favourite NKOSI in the set up of this race today. He certainly impressed when making his stable debut at Wyong in a Class 1. He now takes a step up in level into a metro level racebut 2nd up comes back down slightly in trip, this race shapes to have a hotter early tempo than the race he won at Wyong which could have him land in a different position in running and feel with the change in trip, he may be vulnerable at some stage.
1. Travolta
11. Tazima
3. Amusing
8. Pure Alpha
Betting Strategy
TRAVOLTA hit the line strongly last start in a similar level race to this today. He gets in well at the weights after an apprentice claim and looks suited up to the 2000m trip. TAZIMA impressed winning last time, he looks progressive and should be suited rising up in trip to the 2000m. Hard to knock AMUSING too much given the fact she is in super form having won her last 3 starts, needs to improve in level again for this but looks capable. PUR ALPHA continues to be well found in markets but disappointing for punters. Perhaps can improve on last start coming off the heavy track onto better going.
4. Sixties
2. Providence
7. Tyreek
3. Grand Prarie
Betting Strategy
SIXTIES was hugely impressive in his last start win when putting 7L on his rivals and looking to win with something in hand, if he can find any improvement off that he could prove hard to beat. PROVIDENCE is still a maiden runner having not won so far into his career, but coming out of stronger level races with strong form lines. TYREEK was a winner on debut who looks to take a step up in level for a race like this. GRAND PRAIRIE ran a close 2nd to well fancied runner SKYHOOK last start, has a good level of race fitness vs key rivals in this race today.
6. Polyglot
3. Roselyn’s Star
10. Without Parallel
8. Dance To The Boom
Betting Strategy
POLYGLOT ran a close 2nd when resuming in a similar level race to this last start going around as the well supported race favourite. If he can improve 2nd up here slightly fitter he looks the runner to beat. ROSELYN’S STAR wasn’t far behind POLYGLOT in the same race 1st up, drawn for a much better run on this track so could perhaps turn the tables on the favourite. WITHOUT PARALLEL has continued to impress having won all 4 of her career starts. She needs to take a step up in grade for this but is in light at the weights and appears to get the best race map. DANCE TO THE BOOM could surprise fresh, she is undefeated 1st up into preps (2:2-0-0) and has been trialing strongly.
7. Raging Force
5. Wodeton
1. Devil Night
2. Rivellino
Betting Strategy
Today’s feature race is for the new season 3 year old runners. RAGING FORCE is the runner with a fitness edge on rivals and has won 3 in a row, given he is in super form and has that fitness edge it sets him up well for this. WODETON was continually consistent in some of last seasons stronger 2YO races, if he has developed in the break he could break trough for some group 1 races but feel he may be better slightly up in trip and fitter after this run. DEVIL NIGHT won The Blue Diamond and resumes today, he gets a favourable race map and will likely race on speed which should suit and RIVELLINO resumes after showing good signs through his 2YO season, another who may be better suited up in trip going forwards though.
13. Half Yours
15. Our Gold Hope
3. Palmetto
22. Lord Penman
Betting Strategy
HALF YOURS comes into this race fresh now, about to embark on a staying campaign, he will be better suited rising in trip but class could prevail here and he has been in super form Expect he hits the line strongly. OUR GOLD HOPE was solid in a similar level race 1st up, has won 2nd up previously. PALMETTO should also be fitter 2nd up here and if the track is playing favourably to the inside lanes, he should find himself in that strong position. LORD PENMAN is currently the race emergency and looking for a run, but if he gets on here I like his chances as a light weight hope 2nd up despite the wide barrier.
16. Sergeant Major
2. Disneck
14. Gatsby’s
3. Lord Of Biscay
Betting Strategy
BACK: 16. Sergeant Major (WIN) for 1 unit (Rated at $7.50)
Really open betting race so playing the 2 bets here. SERGEANT MAJOR resumes, he has been a consistent 1st up performer previously and has a winning record over the 1200m. So drawn in well at barrier 2, if the track plays as expected he should be in a strong position and can perform fresh.
BACK: 2. Disneck (WIN) for 1 unit (Rated at $10.00)
Expect DISNECK can be an improver 2nd up, he drops in grade and rises to the 1200m which is more suitable. Fitter for that 1st up run and looks better suited here today in this grade.
