LAY: 8. Piggyback (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $8.00)
PIGGYBACK is well in this market but feels short for me given the set up. She is a last start winner, but generally is better on wetter tracks and only tested once over the 2400m. Given conditions dont look ideal for her I am happy to risk

ROSEHILL PREVIEW AND TIPS | EXPERT TIPS | SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 27TH 2025
RAIL: True TRACK: Good 4
Monitoring conditions in the early part of this meeting, the Rosehill track can lead itself to having a leaders bias on the rail in similar conditions to what is expected today so giving an advantage to on speed types
5. Vetwelve
1. Alabama State
6. Meridiana
10. Bellenth
Betting Strategy
Competitive Midway to kick off the meeting, VETWELVE has found good form of late and is drawn well here so should get a soft run, his best will be good enough to win this. ALABAMA STATE resumes, he has had support in early markets and can go well fresh. MERIDIANA won 1st up last prep and resumes here today, needs to navigate a wide barrier which is the query but still a strong hope. BELLENTH ran 3rd last start in a similar race to this last start, back down slightly in trip may suit better.
1. Samurai
2. Warrior For Peace
7. Fan Harder
3. Write Your Own
Betting Strategy
Very open Highway race here, SAMURAI has run well in his last couple but suggest he can improve on a dryer track today. WARRIOR FOR PEACE rates well for a race like this but would have preferred him to have drawn a better barrier. FAN HARDER is lightly race and undefeated to date, this is a step up for her but she is hard to knock off recent form.

8. Nkosi
4. Strathtay
11. The Years
9. She’s Unusual
Betting Strategy
BACK: 8. Nkosi (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $4.00)
There looks little speed in this race outside of last start winner NKOSI so he looks every chance to be able to back that win up again here today given how the track is expected to play and the soft race map he should get. He beat a few of this last time out so the race looks well set up for him
3. Lord Of Biscay
7. Point And Shoot
11. Captain Furai
1. Felix Majestic
Betting Strategy
LOSR OF BISCAY was solid when resuming but looks well placed fitter 2nd up here today and rising up in trip to the 1400m. Barrier 1 should land him in an ideal position. Expecting POINT AND SHOOT could be an improver here given he gets a softer race map than his last couple of starts. CAPTAIN FURAI has been close in his last couple of runs and gets in well at the weights while FELIX MAJESTIC rates highly, but will have to carry a big weight in this race now. wn to the outside of him, he could find himself in the box seat getting a soft run. May need a touch of luck to get out late, but with a clear run to the line, he should be hard to hold out given how he handles the track.
4. Marhoona
11. Akaysha
2. Beadman
7. Hidden Motive
Betting Strategy
MARHOONA has looked very sharp in her lead up trials to this resuming run today. She maps well from the inside and gets a soft run fresh so could prove hard to catch. AKAYSHA was good when resuming last time out, she has a different set up here today around a bend, but the form from that race is handy. BEADMAN impressed in his huge last start win. He was spelled after and resumes today but would have preferred a softer race map for him 1st up here. Similar for HIDDEN MOTIVE, his 1st up run was good and expecting he can improve off that, but the wide barrier might force him to do extra work early.
1. Manaal
6. Gerringong
2. Firestorm
8. Snow In May
Betting Strategy
MANAAL was a sharp winner in a small field last start, she gets in well here from a race map perspective so this sets up well for her again. GERRINGONG looks the likely leader so if the track has a strong on speed bias, expect he could prove hard to catch. FIRESTORM is resuming today, she has a super record when 1st up having won 4 of 5 1st up runs so expect she can go well fresh. SNOW IN MAY gets in well here 2nd up and fitter now but will need to take a step up in grade.
9. Tempted
4. Wodeton
7. Autumn Boy
1. Beiwacht
Betting Strategy
BACK: 9. Tempted (WIN) for 3 units (Rated at $2.80)
It was hard to not be impressed by the resuming run if TEMPTED recently. She is fitter 2nd up now and its suggested she can improve off that 1st up run which would have her as a very hard runner to beat now. She may need to win against a potential track bias, but given the way she resumed, she should be too good here.
1. Gringotts
4. Rise At Dawn
2. Fawkner Park
3. Osipenko
Betting Strategy
BACK: 1. Gringotts (WIN) for 3 units (Rated at $3.00)
GRINGOTTS was scratched last week from a stronger race with a slight issue, but now finds himself in a race sightlier easier and a race he rates highly in now. He has a big weight to carry due to his rating, but gets a good run on speed in a race that looks to lack too much speed so with a soft run he can offset the heavy weight and take some catching in the later stages of this race.
14. Chidiac
11. Monte Supreme
9. Sunrise
7. Polyglot
Betting Strategy
Tough race to finish the meeting, Leant the way of CHIDIAC who gets in light at the weights here and maps to be forwards in the run so she could prove hard to catch in the later stages of the race. MONTE SUPREME has been impressive winning twice so far this prep, but may need an even track to help her chances. SUNRISE impressed last prep and resumes here today, her recent trials have been good but the wide barrier is a small query. And a wide barrier is the concern for POLYGLOT in this, he may need luck late in running but has been in strong form so far this prep
