Who Will Reign Supreme In The Golden Rose?: NSW Punters Panel

The Partners Panel, featuring Ron Doversy, Joel Davies, and Adrian Siglitano, previewed Golden Rose Day at Rose Hill Gardens, where warm weather and a neutral track pattern are expected. The Group 1 Golden Rose dominates discussion, with Guesthouse the short-priced favourite despite panel doubts about his price and the strength of his lead-up form. Under Focus and Tron Bolt emerge as the value runners, with Tron Bolt considered a black-booker at around $14. In the Golden Pendant, Lazura is the market elect, but Ron favours Gangster Granny each-way, citing race shape and second-up improvement. Skyhook is the Shannon Stakes favourite, though the panel warns his weight and the race's speed could leave him vulnerable. Blue Door is the standout in the Heritage Stakes, while Stars in their Eyes is the panel's most-liked favourite in the Benchmark 88. The panel also discussed the Peter Pan Stakes archives from 1985, with Duff recalling his ride on Jukebox Jury. They built a quaddie spanning races 7 to 10, with selections including Gangster Granny, Lazura, Guesthouse, Under Focus, Skyhook, Private Eye, Lulu Mon, Mercy Me, Wooden Lass, and Jasmine Ruge. A multi combining Blue Door and Lazura was also recommended, alongside a Punters Panel multi of So You Are, Pinhole, Kieran Star, and High Profit all to run top four.

Speaker 1Let's hope we do, Laurie. Let's hope we do. Our panel today, Adrian Siglitano, Ron Doversey and Joel Davies. We're looking at the big Group 1 racing from Rose Hill, so we can't wait for it to unfold. We saw a press release yesterday, or a track report come out yesterday or maybe the day before from the Australian Turf Club talking about that track for Yulong Golden Rose Day and the video as well up online. So for those that are wanting to hear more about that track, they can do so. The historical rail placement, the information that came through from the ATC, on a true rail, Rose Hill Gardens has historically been close to a neutral pattern. Leaders hold only a mild edge and backmarkers win slightly more often than mid-pack runners. So closes are competitive when the pace is genuine. The preferred racing line is expected to be inside to mid-track with lanes four to seven strongest. That's through from the ATC. Ron Doversey, good morning to you. It's going to be a beautiful day. 29, not a cloud in the sky tomorrow. No excuse not to get to the track or your local.
Speaker 2Yeah, no doubt about it. I can't wait to see what happens with these star colts in the Golden Rose and what eventuates there. Tricky day as far as the punt's concerned. Picking your mark, I would suggest, with so many short-priced favourites. It can be dangerous. So, yeah, we'll just play it by ear there to see what prices they actually end up.
Speaker 1Joel Davies, good morning to you. You're looking forward to it. Looking forward to reviewing some of these races?
Speaker 3Yep. Can't wait for tomorrow, Dave. Good morning, everyone. It's good to have you back. Boy, our boy Marlow was up and about last week, betting a left nut here and a 500. He went all Lance Armstrong on it.
Speaker 1Or Lance. I was like, what's doing? I heard a bit of this.
Speaker 3He did. Geez, I tell you what. He had more mouth than Luna Park, but that was a bit of fun. But, yeah, good meeting tomorrow, Dave. Interesting to hear that previous replay of a stern. Four group one winners come out of that Golden Rose behind him. That was a. Very strong one in 2016, but concur with Ron's thoughts. There's a lot of shorties here that look like winners tomorrow, but that can be dangerous. It doesn't always play that way.
Speaker 1And Adrian Cigletano, the late call-up. Richie's doing the trials. I don't know what's happening. Duff, I thought Gatters would be on the trials this morning, but Callender's in here. He's got the blue shirt, the pink tie on, and he's up doing the trials as we speak. So we might get through some races today, Adrian.
Speaker 4Yeah, off the bench today, nice and early. He stormed into the studio at about 8.30 this morning, and off the bench. Off the back fence after Hawks. What about the presents? The presents. He had the pink tie on as well, Richie. So he's hosting the trials, but I concur with the boys here. So eight favourites under $2.50 tomorrow. I think you've got to pick your mark. I think some of them will win. It's just which ones we want it back tomorrow.
Speaker 1Let's get straight into it, and let's look at race eight on the card, the Golden Rose. So for those that are playing, race eight, group one, 1,400 metres, and, well, having a look at the market with the tab, it has been all about getting. Guesthouse. They've been very, very keen to back this particular Colton. They think that he can go on to do even bigger and better things, Ron Doversy. Where do you see Guesthouse landing? Where do you see him at the finish line? And do you think he's, you know, a genuine top three chance in Everest? I know I've thrown about three, four questions at you there, but that's what the punters are asking on the text line.
Speaker 2Well, that's the question he's going to answer tomorrow, whether he's a top three chance in a tab Everest if he's going to win, if he can back up the time he ran first up on that very fast track. Where he's going to land, I think all depends on how under-focused jumps. Those horses drawn. Those four horses drawn inside him do have a little bit of speed. So I don't know, but Zach knows him well. I don't think he'll be digging him because a lot of work's gone into probably trying to settle him. So, yeah, it'll be an interesting watch as far as. I think Zach will be hoping under-focus does his thing and misses at half a length and then he just edges across. And he should get a good run. But I'm tipping him, but I'm not confident. I'm not confident. There's these little questions that we've been asking all week, 11 to 14, all that sort of stuff. But the price, yeah, they get them pretty fit. They know their horses well. They seem very, very bullish on the horse himself, and understandably so. But, yeah, I think he's the one to beat. I think that War Woven is set up perfectly. Quiet run first up, ridden quietly, then hunted up the other day and held him at bay, and 1,400 doesn't look a problem. I think the way. The one that's over the odds in the race is under-focus. His two runs have been outstanding. And I think if he does jump and lean into 1-1, he's got a little knockout chance here. And St Goddard, what am I going to say about him? I would have been top pick from a draw. It's just a. I want to see how the track's playing for him. But he has got. He does have work to do as far as finding a spot here. I believe the black booker coming out of the race is definitely going to be Tron Bolt. But to cut it all short, I'm tipping Guesthouse here, guys.
Speaker 3Joel? Yeah, don't you love the breeding propaganda machine, Guesthouse? I mean. This bloke, three weeks ago, they said he couldn't, you know, get out of his box after the run to the Rose, and Mick Price declaring the next far lap the best cold he's ever had. Well, he did have a good one, caught Extreme Choice, who's turned into an outstanding stallion. Gents, I just want to pose you this question. Zach Lloyd, that ride was probably the best ride I've seen in 10 years. If he doesn't get across. If he was a half-neck away from being caught four-wide, if he gets caught four-wide, he probably finishes midfield. What price is he in this race?
Speaker 1Wow. 320? 340? Yeah. So he's still favourite? Yeah. Would St. Gothard be favourite?
Speaker 3Well, I just think he's.
Speaker 4No, I think he's favourite because he comes out of the fast lead-up. Like, this race, it's the first time since 2009, this race, the San Domenico outrated the run to the Rose. So I think that's the way everyone's looking at the race, is that that's the fast lead-up, and that's the way I'm going without seeing the thunder yet. But, yeah, Joel. I think he's still favourite because he comes out of the fast lead-up.
Speaker 1How hard was that track that day, Joel, when he did win and broke the clock? Like, was it extremely hard on the foot?
Speaker 3I think so. I spoke to a couple of trainers where a couple of horses pulled up scratchy. He didn't. He got across. He never went round a horse. I'm not potting him by any means, but everything went right. Now they want you to take five to four against, you know, one of the best trainers you've ever seen. Jeez, these Chris Waller horses have been completely. Completely dismissed here. Tron Bolt, a Group 1 winner, I know he's going to get back. $14, I think, is madness. St Goddard, the money for it yesterday tells me, or Wednesday, tells me that they're going forward. I expect him to be possibly outside lead. Depends what happens with Warwoven. If Warwoven kicks up and holds out plagiarism, then possibly Jamak might try and find the 1-1. But there is no way he goes back with the money that we're seeing here. There's no way St Goddard goes back. Saying all that, I'm with Under Focus. I'm hoping he steps a bit cleaner than he did last start. His first two runs back have been excellent. I think double figures is very good about him, and I expect him to run very well. Hardest to beat. I've got Tron Bolt here. This has got a smell about it. I don't know why. D-Lane's obviously come up to give him a little dress rehearsal for a Caulfield Guineas. I can't believe the price. I mean, this guy went up favourite, I think, in this race, you know, two months ago, and you're going to get $14 on a day you couldn't really make ground last start. I get it with Guesthouse. I'm not saying he can't win, but he's definitely went well first up. And the propaganda machine, like, I've never seen a horse improve out of a farm by him in the last five days like this horse has. But I'm with Under Focus at the price. Even a horse like Basilius I thought was nearly just as good as Tron Bolt. There's a lot of ways you can look at this race, but I'm Under Focus to beat Tron Bolt.
Speaker 4Yeah, nothing tricky for me. I'm with the favourite Guesthouse. They're all the same coming out of that run to the, Rose for mine, I think, said Goddard had his chance, Warwoven had the right run, Under Focus. He was a bit slow away. So it's going to be interesting to see if he jumps tomorrow because I think that will force either Zach's hand to either push forward or he has to come back. But if he's half a step slow and Zach can get in front of him and get in that, say, 6-2 wide line or one-at-one back position, it's going to be awfully hard to beat. If he executes the first few furlongs, I think Guesthouse is the one to beat. I agree with Duff. I agree with Joel that Tron Bolt is the flashing light here, but if they do go a little bit hard in front, he could get over the top of them, and he's probably won at $13, $14. If he had a gate, he'd be single figures for sure. So I think he's the one with the flashing light, maybe Caulfield Guinea's horse, but Guesthouse for me tomorrow.
Speaker 1Okay. There's a text here, Duff, from Ozzy the Bricky. He goes, Boys, why does everyone seem to forget Stormy Marco? I think it's just as good as Tron Bolt, but Tron Bolt seems to be the only one who gets talked about. Ozzy the Bricky, what do you make of Stormy Marco? We've got Craig Williams in town tomorrow. And James Rhodes, Stormy Marco, last start, James McDonald in that Ming Dynasty.
Speaker 2Yeah, look, I think Tron Bolt's already the Group 1 winner. He gets all the accolades, beautiful horse. Stormy Marco is definitely an up-and-comer. To my way of thinking, Tron Bolt, more your Caulfield Guinea's mile type. Stormy Marco could easily be a champion stakes type of horse, 2,000 metres. That's the impression he's giving me.
Speaker 1Okay. Joel, any comment on Stormy Marco already? I dream before I go to the Shannon.
Speaker 3race nine yeah i might expect him dave had he drawn a gate i thought he's okay first up the reason mcdonald wrote and they obviously split these two from the run to the rose but um yeah i agree with duff going forward probably a mile a mile a bit further but he's not hopeless that the talk out of the camp he's come back very well so yeah a bit weary and
Speaker 1are we off central europe adrian is it sort of are we off that train now yeah i am just from
Speaker 4the just from the wide gate i kind of was thinking oh do they fire him out of a cannon here but they've spent so much time trying to settle him and make him a racehorse so maybe he goes towards the caulfield guineas as well maybe he's a champion stakes horse but he just does a few things wrong he goes really keen
Speaker 1and last on the on this race i'm very keen to see him uh we get to see aaron bullock get an opportunity to ride a uh you know in a group one which is great for aaron but call me air he's got a motor we know he's got a motor duff because we saw that in the jj
Speaker 2yeah definitely he's one of mine i thought he'd do a little bit more the other day but uh i'd be a little forgiving of him um i see a tongue tie comes off comes off him maybe he he resented that tongue tie and look aaron obviously loves him i wouldn't want to get an interview with him tomorrow he's riding 56 and a half he'll be nice and cranky
Speaker 1we'll go to the shannon stakes race nine on the card this is over the 1500 skyhook a dollar 90 with tab holding all the money private eye 440 you've got magnateer for will and richard friedman at nine dollars and the stadio mustala at 10 roto duff to skyhook get the chocolates here again i must admit i don't know if you heard that interview with sterling alexio i did yesterday not as bullish as they were first up because they know this is a bit harder yep
Speaker 2um i'm finding it hard to tip against him whether i want to take a dollar 90 probably no but there's a pack behind him how do we approach private eyes the first question i don't know yeah magnateer was great first up but he's got grand finals to come and the stadio mustala well he he's overachieved in the past so i think skyhook probably uh no bet but probably won out in a in a quaddie for me if that makes sense
Speaker 3yeah i looked at the price so um he's getting very close duff to private eye i think now two kilos between him he's found himself very high in the weights here and he's going to be up against better horses i'm going to forgive the old nine-year-old up the top here um i'm hoping that he's still got a bit of zest for racing i want to forgive that first up run a few horses i think that was the gangster granny savvy halliday a few horses sort of pulled up a bit scratchy that day too and i think it was 60 kilos from gate three i can think he's in the first few and be hard to beat he was good first up on cosmic crusader he only got beaten two lengths spicy martini in australia i can see that he's going to be up against better horses i'm going to two starts before that he's beaten less than half length mazu who won the sprint race i mean that's absolute group one form um i'm with him i think he can get a good run in transit and he'd be hard to beat a starting mistake i know he's got no second up form but she's a good first up um back to the inside there i thought he's okay and yeah i get it with skyhook short enough um just creeping up in the weights and and i can serve harder opposition but i'm with the top one
Speaker 4yeah kind of much more the only thing that scares me with skyhook and the more i profile this horse i think he's better outside horses building he just hits that little flat spot didn't he last time out in over 1300 meters in that theo mark so when i looked at this race i thought there was less speed on paper than there is and i see punch lane was scratched from the trial so he's probably here he might be a fly in the ointment maybe sovereign hill comes across as well private eyes got speed magnatee's got speed skyhook's got speed so there's a little bit more speed on paper here that's why i think sterling was a little bit reserved yesterday with his judgment with 58 kilos
Speaker 1all right we're going to take a break on the partners panel ron dovacy joel davies adrian siglitano on the other side we're going to continue to look at the golden pendant the heritage the colin stevens quality and we're also going to dive back into the archives 85 or 86 you pick what do you want adrian 85 okay 85 be listening the peter pan stakes where were you in 1985 listeners have a listen 0419-767-272 back shortly up to
Speaker 5the bend they go to the cowboy third sirota fourth on the outside is jukebox jury drawn making a long run and behind those handy proverb and the right has been tipped off indian raj he's okay i do believe and as they straighten up for the run and come down past the 250 roman artist taken on by the cowboy handy proverb coming home solidly it's handy proverb that after roman artist on the cowboy handy proverb is finishing brilliantly it takes the lead from the cowboy and oh gee whiz this is a good horse he's coming away handy proverbs going on to beat the cowboy third home was roman artist then chulada followed by drawn and tiara risk silver sham pain acumen then the rideless indian raj eminency chief mayo rising fear then came trismo behind those galandavon northern fine sirota jukebox jury whimper agent provocative and john duggan
Speaker 11985 that is punters i'm sure hopefully won the peter pan stakes of course now it's called the golden rose and duff you had a ride in that race you rode jukebox jury
Speaker 2oh okay yes so i knew i was riding that day it was 200 to 1
Speaker 1well 15 to 1 15 to 1 it says in the paper it was 15 dear handy proverb written by ronnie quinton and if this is correct i'm not sure if they're scratching by the way i've just typed this into google it's extraordinary and it's pulled up it's gone to a you know a government website with the old newspapers so i'm looking at the old newspapers and i'm looking at the old newspapers the newspaper of this day in 1985 and it's got handy proverb r quinton from gate 17 so there were 17 starters i believe there might have been scratchings but he's started from the outside gate and the cowboy ridden by grant cooksley and then what was the other one we had in there uh there was another horse in that finish handy proverb i remember hearing just previously the cowboy but they're all there but yeah there it is r duppersy 15 to 1 it said in the paper yeah yeah
Speaker 2i wrote it well give it every the golden pendant will lazura get the
Speaker 1chocolates at two dollars and ten cents it is your favorite i tell you what it is so quiet this betting race um it is so quiet we've obviously had a you know a change um in regards to uh you know the some prices here uh gangsty gangster granny 440 medela at five dollars how do you say
Speaker 2it duff uh i'm betting you the shape of the race here i i want to be on gangster granny i think lazura is too short i know she's likable with the second up form and she did enough first up finding the 1200 too short but gangster granny she was um i only run at 1400 she ran third last year in the invitation beaten less than a length by steffy magnetica and she couldn't lead that day i think she can get complete control here if if you know we can forget about that first up run because she wasn't there but then she went to the trial she showed more dash she showed more dash the other day she stuck on well and was close up i think the race shape here at home 1400 she's going to take some running running down i think she's got a scamper over
Speaker 3this last 600 here um yeah i uh i can't get this favorite beating here second up goes like a jet unlucky not to win a all-aged behind baywack and um i think ronnie thinks you might get better don't know they like the first up run and she goes better second up so i think the money might come for her um yeah gangster granny i i know she's had the one run over 1400 but i don't know if if maybe maybe in this type of race run you're right she might just get control and might sort of run it out apart from that surfing bird usually takes a run or two medela was very good first up but you know ran past mrs marie i thought dark glitter might be a little knockout chance but i think the top weight's too good and i think she'll trade far shorter than 210 yeah she's
Speaker 4she's got proper weight for age form from last preparation behind bayvark we've always we've all seen what bayvark's done this preparation joel's made the point as well she'll improve with the run under her belt and the market did like her there i thought a weeping woman would start favorite in that race but the market said no and she was pretty good late so second up i think she'll stalk these two leaders and she'll get over the top of them later i think 210 seems okay at the moment what
Speaker 1about race six the heritage stakes over the 1100 blue door a dollar 80 can someone find out if singo is going to be on track duff because if he is he's at a tip in itself singo getting to rose hill on a big day nash he's man on board omelon four dollars our emperor 750 and half pirate at 950 yeah
Speaker 2hard to tip against uh um yep the only feeling i got in this race is i'm to my eye um kieran star is humming um i think it can run second if the favorite stubs its toe i think i think it'll run really really well and i think it'll run really well she was tough in the first preparation she had five or six runs and but i just think she's come back you know it's hard to make a conclusive statement about something that hasn't been in the races but i just feel that just looking at her without looking at her in the fresh but on the screen in the trial she is going really really well so i thought she was second pick but i can't tip it a big blue door yep
Speaker 3um she picks herself here i tell you if you are going to go the race is and you do find if singo is there make sure you have some salt tablets in the morning and turn up with a thirst because you'll be able to quench it if she does get the job done here i love the that Nash goes on board. I love gate six, so she doesn't have to be hustled up underneath him. She can just cross when she wants to. I think it's not my type of prize, but I think it trades shorter than 180. I think Omolong's the hardest to beat here. And yeah, it's Kieran Starr trial. Well, oh yes, she did. She was very good behind Natural Fling two starts ago. Ran okay last start, but I think this favourite surely tomorrow is her day.
Speaker 4Yeah, if she can't win this tomorrow, I don't think she's ever going to win another race. Otherwise, they might be looking at maybe a race like the Red Roses over the Melbourne Cup Carnival for her. That looks like a nice race for her. But if she can't win this tomorrow, I don't think there is another nice race for her over this carnival. The danger I want to make is Half Pipe. I think he's a bit of a head case, this horse. He still has a few things wrong and gets his head up in the air and wants to go keen. But if they get along in front, and she's a free rolling horse as well, he just needs to execute. I think he can run second behind her, but hard to beat Blue Door.
Speaker 1Okay, race four on the card at Rose Hill. Benchmark 88. 1,900. Now, stars in their eyes. $2.25. Very, very well backed. Mr. Riz at $4.60. And you've got not much being held, anything else here, Duff. It's all about this favourite. Gee, it's hard to get away from favourites there tomorrow,
Speaker 2isn't it? Very, very hard to get away from the favourites. And I think the two favourites here, same stable, John and Tom. I think they're too far apart. I think they'll get further apart with the World Pool in action all day. They'll be all over McDonald's here. And I think the other horse has got a lovely racing style. They're similar profile. Second prep imports. Both look nice horses. I want to be with Mr. Riz because I know I'm going to get over the odds. Although, if they were, you know, three to one, each a two, I'd be tipping the other horse. Stars in their eyes. But I want to go with Mr. Riz here. I thought the horse he beat has won since. Grafton Street at Warwick Farm. And he's got more style as far as using the draw, taking a position, and the one I'm very wary of is Mook Taliff. He just didn't look ready, but the money come for him the other day. He's third up now. I'm a little wary of him. I think he might have something.
Speaker 3Yeah, this is a very, very good Benchmark 88-1900. There are some very good stays in this event that will go on to better things here. So it's a really, really good race. There's so many ways you could look at this. I've ended up going with Pinhole. I might be a runner early. Very, very good first up. Finished behind King Pedro last preparation. He was sort of single figures in a Metro before he got a temp. I think we'll see him in the Hill Stakes in a couple of weeks' time. And I think that's not bad. And he's probably on his way to, dare I say it, something like a Melbourne Cup. He ran in a monopolistic last preparation as well. He ran second in a Queensland Derby. So the form is good. Stars in their eyes for sure. You get the JMAC tax, as we talk about. Gate five. Hopefully he sits a little bit closer. But it does look to be good speed here. But Datsu is good. Athol fled. $51. I had something on her first up. I didn't think she was too bad. I don't know whether she'd be ready to win second up. But I heard Matt Smith with you again, Dave, during the week. Jeez, he's got an opinion of this mare. And I'm going to spec her probably on each way basis. But very tough race. On with Pinhole. I think he'll go on to better things after this. As I said, it might be a run short. But I'm with him at the double figures.
Speaker 4Yeah, of all the favourites, this is the one I like the most. This is the one I like the most. Stars in their eyes. But I think Tim was armed on Wednesday ready to go because they backed him. What, it was $26 into $5.50 last week. They missed a run. He was truckloaded first up. He started $2.40 there. It's all been well documented. It was wide, no cover. Made a big sweeping run but kept coming. This looks perfect for him, doesn't it, tomorrow? Good draw. McDonald up in trip, down in grade. It's all made for him to win this race tomorrow. I agree with Joel. Pinhole's the one. Same form lines. I think if I like the favourite, I have to like it. I like Pinhole coming through that same race. I'm not sure about that Muktalef and Anthracite race from the other week. I just think it was a bit of a jog trot in front. Anthracite got his own way. And Muktalef, just looking at him in the yard, he's a big prancing thing. He wasn't quite there in the code. I think he's got something, but I'm not sure it's this preparation. So I'm keen on the favourite here tomorrow, Stars in their eyes. Do we know, boys,
Speaker 3if Stars in their eyes is to win? Do we know if it'll back up into Metro next week because it was heavily backed a couple of weeks ago? I don't know. I don't know whether they'd
Speaker 2back him up so quickly being only third up. I think maybe they're looking at them Melbourne after. I don't know. We'll try and find out. I think I might have Tom Charlton on tomorrow. I might ask him for you.
Speaker 1Okay, fabulous. Let's go to race three on the card at Rose Hill. So just having a look here at the market for Rose Hill race three. This is the Colin Stevens quality now our favourite here is Bella Montagna at 225. The one they've just, they've backed. No money really for anything else here, Duff. It's all about Bella.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's, I think she has to be the referred to horse here. She's third up, blinkers on. I think ready to go. Five, five and a half kilos. So you always got to give to everything here. And I think she'll be the one that's the benefit of it. I think she can win. I think she's the bet of the day. Short enough now. I was sort of thinking at 280. Yeah, okay. I'm happy to bet. 225 now. That is rock bottom. She's no superstar and doesn't win often, but I really like the way she presents here. I just got little doubts about that City Tats Cup form. And then this horse had that little setback and then he's paying the price with weight now, so you are. So I'm very comfortable to go with Bella Montagna here.
Speaker 3Yeah, if you've got something better to do, maybe have a beer and watch this. I can't believe I'm saying this. Duff, I'm going with one of your old mates here, Sam Hawkins. I would not be surprised if they give him a shove out of the gates here and try and go to the front and make this a staying event for him. Maybe try something new. I don't know. It's a race that I probably don't have a huge amount of confidence in. I understand Bella Montagna, but Amplify ran past her at Newcastle and then he sort of ran in. And for now, he's coming from those Queensland races. It's not a fabulous race. And I can understand the top weight, why he's carrying this much weight. But as you said, Ron, I mean, that Tats Cup form, I mean, where do you look? I'm with the three, but jeez, confidence very, very low.
Speaker 4Duff, does her dry track form scare you at all? Zero from 11?
Speaker 2Maybe a little bit. I understand some of her better form has been on those softer tracks, but look, the lead-ups have been on dry tracks. And I think there's enough in that Wyong Newcastle Cups to say, and that was pretty hard, that track at Newcastle. So I'm not letting it get into my head.
Speaker 4Yeah, I'm just going to go the other way. I just think she's too short in the context of her price, just with that dry track stats in the back of my head. And she's got the exact same form as horses like Amplify here. That ties into for now. That ties into so you are. I'm going to tip the top one. What you see is what you get with him. If Sam Hawkins, I think they're going to light him on fire tomorrow and really roll along. And try and liven him up in front. So I think that does suit so you are anyway, because he can just camp in behind him. And if it's a real grinding staying test, that'll suit him. He's deep in prep now. What you see is what you get, as I've said. So I'm going to go with the top one here, so you are.
Speaker 1Okay. Team Captain Duff, let's get your best bets from the three and build this quaddie. Duff, what's your best on the card tomorrow at Rose Hill?
Speaker 2I'm left light. I'm still going to say it's Bella Montagna in race three. She's the best.
Speaker 1Okay, so race three, number two. Joel Davies, your best.
Speaker 3Dave, I'm going to have a multi for my best. I don't like these shorties, but I'm going to take race six, number one, Blue Door, into race seven, number one, Lazura. I think maybe around, I don't know, a price three, 70, something like that.
Speaker 1I'll add that to the bets, friends, but for the bets, friends, bet slip, because I had the three best bets and then I do the quaddie. I just label one for us. Give us one.
Speaker 3Lazura, race seven, number one.
Speaker 1Okay, race seven, number one, Lazura. And then, Adrian, your best. Race four, number three, stars in their eyes. Okay, so if we took that treble, the treble is $10.63 for all those to win. Nice and short, $2.25 and the two turned into $2.25. If you think they'll just run a place, you're looking at $2.50 for all runners to run a place. But remember, in that third event, I think, what, you've only got seven runners, so you've got to finish top two there. So that's the best, and I'll add that multi of yours, Joel, six, one, seven, one, as well. Well, to a separate bet slip. Duff, we build a quaddie tomorrow. Our first leg is race seven. What is your selection as captain?
Speaker 2Look, there's too many good horses to leave out here. I was thinking one, four, nine, five, and they're all going in my quaddie.
Speaker 1One, four, nine, and five. One, four, nine, five? No. Yep. No, eights. You mean the eights?
Speaker 2Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. I'm up to the golden rose already. So the pendant. So I'm going to say Gangster Granny, number four.
Speaker 1Okay, perfect. Okay. So we go to you, Joel. What else are we adding? We're adding Lazura, obviously.
Speaker 3Yeah, just Lazura for me.
Speaker 1And Adrian? I'm happy with that because we've got to go a bit wider in the last.
Speaker 4Okay, so we're leaving at Medela. Yeah, I just think the shape of the race is against Adrian. Just the tempo, isn't it?
Speaker 1Yeah. Okay. We go to race eight. So the rose, you like Guesthouse Duff, you like Warwoven. Yep. You like number nine, which is Under Focus. And what was your other number?
Speaker 2War woven number four, sorry, the five, St.
Speaker 1Gothard. St. Gothard. So you've got one, four, five and nine in the Golden Rose. Do we need to deviate anywhere else,
Speaker 3Joel? Yeah, we've got to have Tron Bolt. If he comes down the outside, I'll be vomit worthy.
Speaker 1Adrian, anything else? Nothing else. Okay, so we've got one, three, four, five and nine in that second link of the quaddie, Rose Hill. Now we get to the Shannon, Duff.
Speaker 2Number two, Skyhook.
Speaker 3Skyhook. Joel? Number one, Private Eye for me. Punchline has just come out there, boys. Sorry to interrupt. Punchline has just been scratched as we speak.
Speaker 1Yes, I can see seven cents and eight cents win in place. Nothing else because I think this last leg will go wider. So skinny in that third leg. Okay, so just the one and two there, punters. Skyhook and Private Eye in the Shannon. Okay, now we get to race 10. Benchmark 78 over the 1100, Duff.
Speaker 2This is the only bet I've had all day. I took 40 to 1, obviously, 33 cents deductions, but I'm hot on Lulu Mon running, well, here. She's got very good fresh form. She was good in a, you know, a 94 first up last preparation, and the prep before that, I think she won first up. I think she's a good little gamble. I like her. So I'll put her in, and I'll just leave the rest to you. It's a messy race. Okay, Joel?
Speaker 3It's a hard race. 15 for me. Mercy me. I think she gets a beautiful run just behind the leaders. And number eight, Wooden
Speaker 1Lass. Okay. All right. 15 and eight. 15 and eight.
Speaker 4And Lulu Mon's six. So I'll add number two, Kimberley Secrets. And I want to have something on 14, Jasmine Ruge as well. I'll be sick if she knocks us out. James McDonald booking has me looking again at her, and I don't want to add any Rose Duff, just because I've got in the back of my head what Kristen said on radio the other week, that she doesn't like firm tracks. Interesting.
Speaker 1So just confirming, 6, 8, 14, and 15. The last I'm seeing a number there. 2, 6, 8, 14, 15. So Kimberley Secrets. So here is our quaddie for the partners panel for Golden Rose Day. First leg, race 7, 1 and 4. Second leg, race 8, 1, 3, 4, 5, and 9. Third leg, skinny, 1 and 2. And then we come home in race 10 with 2, 6, 8, 14, and 15. Duff, who's on the show tomorrow, mate, on Racing HQ?
Speaker 2Let me think. We've got, I think, Price or one of the guys there from the stable. I think we've got Michael Friedman. We're trying to get Dylan Gibbons. We've got the Durans from Toowoomba. And who else have we got here? Give me a look, Dave. I've got my text here. Tom Charlton, Bjorn. Beautiful. And either Richard or Will Friedman as well.

Richie was involved with this, but you had to cut him off because he didn't reply to you at Hawkesbury.

So we've got So You Are and a 7 oars field to run top 4. And we beat the market with the little deduction that came out. So we've got So You Are, race 3, number 1. Race 4, number 6, Pinhole.

Summary:

The Partners Panel, featuring Ron Doversy, Joel Davies, and Adrian Siglitano, previewed Golden Rose Day at Rose Hill Gardens, where warm weather and a neutral track pattern are expected. The Group 1 Golden Rose dominates discussion, with Guesthouse the short-priced favourite despite panel doubts about his price and the strength of his lead-up form. Under Focus and Tron Bolt emerge as the value runners, with Tron Bolt considered a black-booker at around $14.

In the Golden Pendant, Lazura is the market elect, but Ron favours Gangster Granny each-way, citing race shape and second-up improvement. Skyhook is the Shannon Stakes favourite, though the panel warns his weight and the race's speed could leave him vulnerable. Blue Door is the standout in the Heritage Stakes, while Stars in their Eyes is the panel's most-liked favourite in the Benchmark 88.

The panel also discussed the Peter Pan Stakes archives from 1985, with Duff recalling his ride on Jukebox Jury. They built a quaddie spanning races 7 to 10, with selections including Gangster Granny, Lazura, Guesthouse, Under Focus, Skyhook, Private Eye, Lulu Mon, Mercy Me, Wooden Lass, and Jasmine Ruge. A multi combining Blue Door and Lazura was also recommended, alongside a Punters Panel multi of So You Are, Pinhole, Kieran Star, and High Profit all to run top four.

FAQs

The Golden Rose is a Group 1 race over 1,400 metres held at Rose Hill Gardens. It features top-class colts and is a key lead-up to races like the Caulfield Guineas and The Everest.

According to the Australian Turf Club, the track is expected to have a neutral pattern with leaders holding only a mild edge. The preferred racing line is inside to mid-track, with lanes four to seven strongest.

Guesthouse is the favourite, coming off a fast win in the Run to the Rose. His impressive first-up performance and strong breeding have made him a short-priced favourite, though some analysts question his value.

Duff and Adrian tip Guesthouse, Joel tips Under Focus, and Ron also leans towards Guesthouse but with less confidence. Tron Bolt is mentioned as a value chance at around $14.

The quaddie is: Leg 1 (Race 7): 1, 4; Leg 2 (Race 8): 1, 3, 4, 5, 9; Leg 3 (Race 9): 1, 2; Leg 4 (Race 10): 2, 6, 8, 14, 15.

Duff's best bet is Bella Montagna (Race 3, No. 2). Joel's best is a multi: Blue Door (Race 6, No. 1) into Lazura (Race 7, No. 1). Adrian's best is Stars in Their Eyes (Race 4, No. 3).
