Gai & Adrian have a significant presence at Rosehill Gardens tomorrow with key runners in the feature events

Playing By The Rules

Emma Reeves aids us with programming and identifies who she thinks is the best placed horse each weekend. Elamaz, Saturday 28th June, Rosehill, Race 9: I rarely miss an opportunity to pick an import on its Australian debut, so here’s another. Elamaz is a lightly raced gelding who has either won or run second in every career start in Europe. Since turning three, he’s only raced over a mile, but I think that translates perfectly to a 2000 metre race here in Australia. The tracks over there tend to be more testing, so time and again we see these horses stretch out over further here, and our stride length data suggests this should suit him perfectly. Over the past six years, this race has been won by horses rated well below him, and this year’s renewal doesn’t look particularly strong either. Securing jockeys for this meeting was tough, with most either in Queensland or on holiday, so I was thrilled to lock in senior, multiple Group 1 winning rider Josh Parr. The opposition all have match fitness on Elamaz, but I think class will prevail.

Gai's Tip Sheet

WEDNESDAY 2nd JULY – WARWICK FARMRail Position: +5m 1000m-W/Post; +3m RemainderSIEBERT (Race 2, 1.25pm, 1200m, T Clark, 56kg)Siebert is delighting us ahead of her first start. Her two trials have been excellent, and she’s continued to go the right way since her most recent hit out so she’s ticking all the right boxes at home. She’s debuting in town which isn’t easy, but it’s a rare two year old race confined to her own sex so we’re keen to seize the opportunity. She’s got plenty of speed, so we expect her to roll forward from barrier 8 to make her own luck on the front end and 1200 metres around this inviting track is an ideal starting point. The conditions are the query, but they're all in the same boat. Some will relish it, others won't. She should enjoy some of favours in the run, and we hope to see her hitting the line strongly to get her career off to an encouraging start. TOMATO TOASTIE (Race 2, 1.25pm, 1200m, J Collett, 56kg)Tomato Toastie found everything happening a bit quickly for her on debut at Gosford. However, she’s taken huge benefit from the experience and she’s a lot more switched on heading into this run. The step up to 1200 metres on this more expansive track, along with this race being confined to her own sex, are all big positives that will suit her enormously. She’ll have to do a bit of work to overcome her wide gate, but we expect her to roll forward from there and get across into a better position where she hopefully sit close to the speed. The conditions are the query, but they're all in the same boat. Some will relish it, others won't. She’s got plenty of upside second-up under more favourable conditions, and a big run would come as no surprise. TRIPLE TWO EIGHT (Race 6, 2.47pm, 2100m, R King, 56kg)Triple Two Eight is pleasing us ahead of her first start. She improved a lot from her first to second trial and she’s continued to go the right way since her most recent hit out, so she’s ticking all the right boxes at home. She’s debuting in town which isn’t easy, but it’s a rare two year old race confined to her own sex so we’re keen to seize the opportunity. The conditions are the query, but they're all in the same boat. Some will relish it, others won't. She’s a filly who’s going to improve as she gets over ground, but 1200 metres is a suitable enough starting point and we hope to see her hitting the line strongly to get her career off to a promising start.

HORSES AVAILABLE

Pinatubo/Really Discreet '23

This is a blue-blooded filly by the sensational first-season sire Pinatubo who was Champion 2YO in Europe and a three-time Group 1 winner, with an incredible seven victories from just ten starts. By the influential Shamardal, whose bloodline boasts significant Australian success through his own progeny and sons like Lope De Vega, Pinatubo himself conquered the Group 1 Dewhurst Stakes, a race also won by Too Darn Hot, the sire of this filly's dam's half-sister, the dual Group winner Too Darn Discreet.This filly hails from an exceptional female family, with her first four dams all black-type winners up to Group 1 level, and an astonishing ten black-type fillies adorning her pedigree page. Bred by the elite Highgrove Stud, renowned for their high strike rate of Stakes winners from yearlings sold, this filly offers immense residual value with her dam, Really Discreet, currently boasting an Anamoe colt at foot and a Farnan foal in utero. Adding further appeal, she's bred on the proven Shamardal (Pinatubo) over Danehill-line (Exceed And Excel) cross, responsible for multiple Group 1 winners like Blue Point, Earthlight, and Victor Ludorum.

Ole Kirk/Apicius '23

Don't miss this exceptional filly by Australia's current leading Champion First Season Sire, Ole Kirk, who dominates across all key metrics. Her dam is by the legendary Champion Sire Redoute's Choice and has already proven her broodmare prowess by producing a Stakes-winning 2YO from her very first foal to race. This filly hails from one of the most active and successful female families in Australia, boasting an impressive 15 commercially bred fillies within her first five dams. Adding further pedigree power, her first three dam sires are all Champions, Redoute's Choice, Lonhro, and Encosta De Lago. Excitingly, this filly is bred on the exact same potent cross as Group 3 Pago Pago Stake winner, Skyhook.This is a rare opportunity to invest in a filly with strong residual value.

Maurice/Mallory '23

This stunning filly boasts an impeccable pedigree, being the first foal of the brilliant Group-winning juvenile and classic contender, Mallory (by the exceptional sire Not A Single Doubt). Mallory wasn't just any racehorse; she was a top-tier 2 and 3-year-old, capturing the Group 3 Widden Stakes, placing in the prestigious Gimcrack Stakes, and competing in the Golden Slipper. At three, she continued her stellar form with narrow misses in both the Group 2 Furious and Tea Rose Stakes before tackling the Flight Stakes. But the brilliance doesn't stop there. Her sire is the phenomenal Maurice, a leading stallion already proving his prowess with limited crops producing stars like Mazu and Hitotsu. While his best books are still to come, we've already experienced his magic firsthand, having trained three Stakes winners by him from a small number of runners. This speaks volumes about his inherent ability to produce top-quality athletes.

Tagaloa/Derive '23

This outstanding filly is by TAGALOA, a Group 1 winning stallion from Yulong Stud. TAGALOA made an immediate impact as a two-year-old, placing third in a Group 3 on debut before securing two impressive wins, including his crowning achievement, the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes. As a three-year-old, he continued to prove his class, winning a Group 3 and placing in multiple elite races. His pedigree is nothing short of exceptional, being sired by LORD KANALOA, a world-class sprinter and Japanese Horse of the Year. This filly is the first foal out of DERIVE, a quality mare by REDOUTE’S CHOICE, with three wins to her name. She hails from a distinguished bloodline, related to WORLD PREMIERE, a dual Group 1 winner in Japan, as well as Group 1 placegetters WELTREISENDE and WORLD ACE. Gai was particularly taken with her, highlighting her strong, well-built frame and impressive bone structure. She possesses all the key attributes of a top-class racehorse, making her an exciting prospect with immense potential in her future.
