I am encouraged by the enthusiasm shown by those who contribute to our Saturday morning mail chase. I always contact 2 pro punters, a trackman and a ratings expert.

Race 1 n7 ICE BABY The Gimcrack run was great, has been given time to develop and has trialled strongly.

Race 2 n3 UPON THIS ROCK e/w It is ‘D’ Day for Gai’s neddy. It should get a soft lead against this unimpressive bunch. Sensational e/w value

Race 3 n5 FLYING SUCCESS This is the pick of the bets today. She is returning to mares grade and will appreciate the soft track.

Race 7 The suggestion is to have a little on 2 horses here. They are both on pace runners which has been an advantage at Rosehill lately. n 7 GIRL HUSSLER and n10 GIGAS. Both have good reports from the track and are marked by our ratings man.

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
