Early mail and best exotic plays for Rosehill on Saturday from racing editor Chris Scholtz.
ROSEHILL SATURDAY
RACE 4 (6) PHOTON WILLIE: This headstrong entire by High Chaparral is full of raw talent as he showed when he resumed with a dominant win from off the pace over 1200m at Randwick last month. The tighter Canterbury track then worked against him in a leader dominated race over 1200m on August 7 when he gave up too much start before running hard through the line to be beaten only 2.7 lengths under 57kg. He holds ample scope for improvement and with those efforts behind him he should be ideally suited going to 1500m third up on his home track.
RACE 7 (2) TOTAL ATTRACTION: Former Melbourne mare was heavily supported to win first-up for new stable over 1200m at Randwick on July 27 on the strength of two impressive lead-up trials but left her run too late when finishing strongly for a close third. Certain to be fitter for that run and she is well placed in this company over this extra distance on her form in Group races, more so with the benefit of a 3kg claim for apprentice rider.
RACE 8 (5) LESS IS MORE: Versatile import had trialled in great style before he was a travesty beaten first-up when a close fifth in the Listed Winter Challenge over 1500m at this course on August 3, going to the line untested after he was pocketed for the length of the straight. No doubt he is going to be more comfortable rising to 1800m and while he has to contend with a sharp rise in weight this looks a most suitable class of race for him at this stage of his preparation.
