Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 3 hours ago Journalists Share Posted 3 hours ago What Rosehill Races Where Rosehill Gardens Racecourse – James Ruse Dr, Rosehill NSW 2142 When Saturday, January 18, 2025 First Race 12:30pm AEDT Visit Dabble Metro racing returns to Rosehill on Saturday afternoon, with the Listed January Cup (2000m) headlining a bumper 10-race program. The rail moves out +3m the entire circuit for the meeting, and with significant rainfall forecast leading into the weekend, punters can expect a worsening Soft 7 circuit for race-day. All the action is scheduled to get underway at 12:30pm local time. January Cup Tip: Osipenko Osipenko appeared the winner last time out in the Group 3 Summer Cup (2000m) at Randwick on Boxing Day, only to be denied in a head-bobbing finish alongside Tavi Time. It was the best run of the preparation by the son of Pierro, suited by the drop in grade and stepping out to the 2000m for the first time in the campaign. He needs to peak again heading into this Listed contest, and although he needs to lug the top weight of 59kg to victory, Osipenko should have the class to put away this lot. January Cup Race 7 – #1 Osipenko (2) 5yo Gelding | T: Chris Waller | J: James McDonald (59kg) +180 with Neds Best Bet at Rosehill: Wodeton We could have a new Group 1 Golden Slipper (1200m) favourite with horse racing bookmakers after the opening event, with the Chris Waller-trained Wodeton set to make his debut. The Wootton Bassett colt has oozed class in his two official barrier trials, with his latest piece of work at Warwick Farm on January 3 particularly catching the eye as James McDonald had the two-year-old under a stranglehold throughout. Watch for McDonald to slot in somewhere mid-field with cover, and provided Wodeton can replicate his trial form on race-day, this guy should justify the short price with BlondeBet. Best Bet Race 1 – #6 Wodeton (7) 2yo Colt | T: Chris Waller | J: James McDonald (57kg) -111.11 with BlondeBet Next Best at Rosehill: Cigar Flick Cigar Flick looks supremely placed in this BM88 contest after back-to-back luckless performances in Queensland. The daughter of Churchill has figured consistently in much tougher assignments, including a runner-up placing behind Danny’s St Darci in the Listed Just Now Stakes (1300m) at Eagle Farm two starts back. James McDonald should get the perfect run from barrier four, and although Cigar Flick has been a costly commodity for punters this time in, this talented mare should finally repay the faith. Next Best Race 8 – #5 Cigar Flick (4) 4yo Mare | T: Chris Waller | J: James McDonald (58.5kg) +320 with Picklebet Best Value at Rosehill: Lethal Thoughts Lethal Thoughts impressed returning from a 105-day spell at Geelong on January 4 and should strip fitter heading into this second-up assignment. The five-year-old was slow away first-up, with Saffie Osborne forced to drift back towards the rear of the field, leaving the son of So You Think too much work to do in the concluding stages. Anna Roper gets the chance to hold a position from stall one this time around, and provided he can handle the testing conditions, Lethal Thoughts must be considered a major player at the each-way price with Dabble. Best Value Race 9 – #4 Lethal Thoughts (1) 5yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Anna Roper (a3kg) (59.5kg) +800 with Dabble Saturday quaddie tips for Rosehill Rosehill quadrella selections January 18, 2025 1-5-6 2-3-4-5-6-11 1-3-4-7-12 2-5-7-9-13 | Copy this bet straight to your betslip Horse racing tips View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
