Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 6, 2023 Journalists Share Posted September 6, 2023 Militarize, who hasn’t raced since winning the Group 1 Champagne Stakes in April, is one of the drawcards in Saturday’s Run To The Rose. The Group 2 Run To The Rose (1200m) has attracted a field of 12 three-year-olds to Rosehill Gardens this Saturday afternoon. The traditional lead-up race to the Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes (1400m) is highlighted by the return of the Chris Waller-trained Militarize following his dominant win in the Group 1 Champagne Stakes (1600m) on April 15. READ: Militarize bolts clear to secure a Chris Waller Triple Crown Waller has the strongest hand with three more runners in the race, including the well-fancied Kandinsky Abstract making his second-up tilt after a bold showing in the Group 3 San Domenico Stakes on August 26. Three other runners come through that form line, including the winner of the race, Libertad, who sits on the second line of betting with online bookmakers. The race favourite is the James Cummings-trained Cylinder, heading back to Sydney after scraping home in the Group 3 Vain Stakes at Caulfield on August 19. Don Corleone is another notable galloper the market has plenty of respect for, and with two barrier trials heading into the weekend, punters expect the son of Extreme Choice to be forward enough for the 1200m. The Run To The Rose is the second leg of the Rosehill quaddie on Saturday and is set to get underway at 3:55pm AEST.
