Chris Scholtz previews the Rosehill meeting on April 27 with best bets and selections for all races plus Trial Watch and Blackbook runners.
TRACK RATING: Good 4 (8am 26/04/24); RAIL: True; RAINFALL: 4mm last 7 days
RACE 3 (8) GREEN SHADOWS: Has been costly at times but his impressive first-up win at Warwick Farm indicates he has turned the corner. Sat back in that BM 78 contest over 1400m before sweeping home over the top of them for a soft win and is no worse off in the same grade this time with the extra 100m on his home track positive factors.
RACE 7 (15) KAZOU: Her return has been delayed a week after her Randwick race was abandoned last Saturday but it’s a favourable outcome as she gets to resume under a light weight on her home track. Only once unplaced in eight starts including four wins up to 1400m, she flies fresh and her recent trial win by eight lengths showed she is in the right form to add to that record.
RACE 8 (10) IKNOWASTAR: Went on a winning spree last prep when he won four straight in this distance range and looks set for more success after a gutsy first-up second over 1400m at this course under 61kg after setting a strong pace. With his added fitness he is sure to look for the lead and take advantage of his 6kg drop in weight.
