A couple of fancies for today …

Rosehill Starlight Stakes
#2 - Tambo’s Mate $2.90
Tony Gollan trains 6yo who has returned in great style this preparation. Looks to have an edge on his rivals here

Rosehill Festival Stakes
#13 - Brutality $5
Wet track no concern. Ellsberg has the strongest form but not confident given the track. Brutality returned well first up and is right in this with scratchings

Ascot Winterbottom Stakes
#9 - Stageman $17/$4
Over the odds here. No luck last time out and should be finishing fast out wide. Happy to have an each way play

Not a clean sweep like last week but 2/3 ain’t bad!

Count De Rupee was ultra impressive winning the Gong and a new star of the WA turf was unleashed with Western Empire winning the Group 1 Railway Stakes

Results:
Count De Rupee 🥇 $6.50 ✅
Western Empire 🥇 $1.70 ✅
Skyman ❌

The Racing starts to quiet down this time of year but we still have 3 big features across the nation today!

Features Today - The Gong, Ballarat Cup and G1 Railway Stakes 🏆

The Gong
#4- Count De Rupee $6.50
Ran a very brave second to I’m Thunderstruck last start in the Golden Eagle. That form looks good - ties in with Superstorm, Cascadian and Zaaki. Drawn sticky but trusting Brock to work some magic

Boxed Trifecta
4. Count De Rupee
1. I Am Superman
13. Criaderas
14. Soldier of Love

Ballarat Cup
#15- Skyman $8.50
Steps out to 2000m after going back in distance last start. He will be ripe for this. CJ Waller is quite astute in timing his horses to perfection and this looks the target.

Boxed Trifecta
15. Skyman
16. Foxy Frida
11. Thought of That
9. Vanna Girl

Railway Stakes
#16 - Western Empire $1.70
Seems to have the class to win this race. Put them away easily last time out over what is probably an unsuitable distance. Ride in trip only helps

Boxed Trifecta
16. Western Empire
12. Notorious One
2. Massimo
4. Dance Music

Kept it simple yesterday!

2 Tips = 2 Winners 🥇🥇

Lost and Running was clearly the best in The Hunter and King Magnus relished the slop to take home a deserved Cranbourne Cup victory

Features Today - The Hunter and Cranbourne Cup 🏆

The Hunter
#1 - Lost and Running $2.60
This horse has the superior form lines it would seem, coming through The Everest behind Nature Strip and The Classique Legend behind Eduardo. Drawn deep but in the capable hands of H.Bowman, fresh from a double last night. Simply the best horse in the race with even luck

Boxed Trifecta
1. Lost & Running
2. Top Ranked (plenty of talk around this import and lots of market support)
9. Roheryn (silly price $41 - much improved effort second up last time out. Might be ready to peak)
3. Gem Song (good horse fresh and has been in top line races previously)

Cranbourne Cup
#10 - King Magnus $7
Comes through the Cantala Stakes making up lots of ground and was just outclassed. Seems to be an easier task and is due for a win in a race like this. The likes of Superstorm, Cascadian, Icebath we’re in front of it last start.

Boxed Trifecta
10. King Magnus
3. Age of Chivalry
13. Don’t Doubt Doey (good wet tracker)
18. Mystery Shot (on his day is a good horse)

*** Melbourne Cup Preview ***

Here it is. The first Tuesday of November. The race that stops the nation. The race that catches the eye of everyone, not just the usual punter. Enjoy the day and soak up the glory of Australian Racing. Here are the tips in order

#2 - INCENTIVISE $2.80 - No prizes for guessing that this horse may just be the best in the country and will be for a couple of years to come. An impressive 5YO who has been faultless this preparation. An out and out stayer who is a deserved favourite. It’s hard to take short $2.80 odds but there is no denying he’s a dead set freak at the moment. A Might And Power like display in the Caulfield Cup shows all systems go for today. Play other horses below at the E/W prices, but he needs to be respected as the top tip

#9 - SELINO $51/$13 - Well here is a roughie that I think is better than the price suggests. One of few runners who is proven over 3200m, winning the Sydney Cup early in the year. Chris Waller has made the tactical decision to bring Rob Stewart down to Melbourne for one ride. He was successful on this horse in his only attempt in Sydney’s two mile race. His races this prep have suggested he needs further and at the odds, include in the exotics.

#24 - SIR LUCAN $24/$6 - An import now trained by G*i and Adrian having his first start in Australia. A young 3YO however plenty of upside. Has shown talent in his overseas starts. Hard to line up the form however all reports from in house have been positive. Light weight in the hands of Bossy, you cannot rule out G*i and her ability to get a horse fit on Grand Final day. The unknown about this horse is drawing me towards having a wager. Will run a cheeky race

#4 - VERRY ELLEEGANT $17/$5 - This mighty mare has already proven herself as a champion, and at these odds, how can you not entertain? I don’t think we will ever see her this far out in the market so it’s worth a play. Although her form this prep has been up and down, she hasn’t been putting horses away or shown complete dominance in her races. To me, this suggests that maybe she’s looking for further and this year she might be better off at 3200m compared to last year. JMAC back on board is a big tick.
