Sydney Specials: Rosehill – May 7

Rosehill looks to offer up a standout option for the opening leg of the quadrella on Saturday.

The highly talented Start Wondering commences his late season campaign in the Schweppes Benchmark 93 Handicap (1350m) at Rosehill on Saturday afternoon.

Start Wondering has barely put a foot wrong since arriving in Australia, winning three of his four starts with a luckless run when caught wide with no cover throughout arguably the cause of his lone defeat.

The Eighth Wonder gelding boasts some solid form lines through these four starts around the likes of His Majesty and Religify.

A master Timeform rating of 108 returned when rounding out his latest campaign sees him sitting highly amongst this field on 12 month weight adjusted ratings.

Along with an imposing master Timeform rating for a race of this calibre, Start Wondering also possesses excellent first up, course and distance credentials.

Hutchings takes the ride who is riding in excellent form at present, currently boasting a 14.4% profit on turnover through the season to date and a 73.3% profit on turnover for Chris Waller through 106 rides at a strike rate of 19%.

He is yet to run out of the money aboard Start Wondering from two starts having partnered the gelding to victory at his Australian debut whilst also running second on the gelding during his third career start at Stratford.

With good early speed anticipated up front, Hutchings should slot Start Wondering in midfield and from there could take holding out late.



Early in the program, Grunderzeit appeals as an each way player in the TAB Rewards Benchmark 81 Handicap (1200m).

The gelding was well late on resuming over 1100m at Rosehill a fortnight ago, settling back before running on nicely despite a tendency to hang in.

It was an encouraging start to a campaign from a gelding who has long promised to deliver plenty.

Grunderzeit will strip fitter and has won second up previously.

A rise to 1200m is expected to be of benefit as is getting on firmer ground. The in form Sam Clipperton jumps aboard is an added bonus.

The second event of the day at Rosehill profiles as an open sort of contest however Grunderzeit arguably boasts the greatest sense of timing looking at those lining up in the event.
