Savagram, Savvy Diamond and Plagiarism will battle it out tomorrow in the Group 3 Up And Coming Stakes at Rosehill

Playing By The Rules

Emma Reeves aids us with programming and identifies who she thinks is the best placed horse each weekend.SAVAGRAM, Saturday 29th August, Rosehill, Race, 7:Plagiarism is the ‘rule follower’ again here, but so I don’t bore everyone with the same stories, I’ll go with a ‘rule breaker’.Savagram is a colt who has always been held in high regard, so to see him win as dominantly as he did on debut was very pleasing. He’s not perfectly weighted here and he’s the most inexperienced horse in the field, coming straight out of maiden grade into the big leagues, but he might just be the class horse in the race.He’s a full brother to our Group 1 ATC Derby hero, Major Beel, and like his brother, he has shown speed over the shorter distances in the early stages of his career. We believe he’s a horse who could head towards the Spring Champion Stakes, which is a big ask in his first racing preparation, but the good ones can do it.Saturday is his chance to prove he’s one of them.

Gai's Tip Sheet

FRIDAY 4th SEPTEMBER - WYONGRail Position: TrueBELLA MONTAGNA - Race 6, 3.55pm, 2100m, R King, 54kgBella Montagna is delighting us ahead of her return. In her first trial she was simply outsprinted by some talented Stakes performers, and whilst she was last again in her second trial she wasn’t beaten too far. Resuming over 2100 metres isn’t usually in our rule book, however, she retains some residual fitness from her Queensland campaign where she last raced in mid-June and she’s generally been a lot dourer this preparation, so we aren’t concerned by it especially around this tight turning track. This is not a strong edition of this race, as whilst the top horse Eliyass is rated 111 the next best is 97, followed by your mare at 90 with the rest of the field then ranging from 89-59, so this also gave us the confidence to kick her off here. Moreover, victory in this race would boost her rating sufficiently to enable her to get into more competitive races second-up and beyond, which she needs to be doing if we’re to get her to the Group 2 Metropolitan Handicap as her Grand Final. Rachel knows her extremely well so we’re delighted to have her aboard, and she’s a mare that’s generally ridden with some cover so Rachel will position her accordingly and try to conserve her energy mid-race before unleashing her from the 800 metres onwards. She’s got a couple of things to overcome but we think she can do it, and we expect her to be right there at the finish.

HORSES AVAILABLE

Snitzel/Dalt Vila '24

174 stakes winners, 110 Group winners and 28 individual Group 1 winners. Snitzel’s influence on Australian racing has been nothing short of extraordinary, and his record speaks for itself.The page underneath gives this filly a really appealing international pedigree. She is out of Dalt Vila, a daughter of Deep Impact, whose influence as a broodmare sire is growing all the time, with 63 stakes winners and 47 Group winners. Dalt Vila is a half-sister to Dalkala, the Champion Older Female in France, while the family also includes Four Moves Ahead, a high-class Australian filly who won at Group 2 level and measured up in the best company.She is a beautiful filly who handled her first preparation at Randwick with ease. She is a lovely, fluid mover with a great attitude.

Stay Inside/Bring Me Showers '24

This colt is by Stay Inside, the Golden Slipper winner and Champion 2YO who has quickly made his mark with his first crop. He has already produced multiple stakes winners, including Incognito, Blue Door and Lassified, while Gai and Adrian have had first-hand success with the sire through the likes of Reachin’ Out, Our Emperor and Eviction Notice.The page underneath is what really sets this colt apart. He is out of Bring Me Showers, a winning daughter of Sebring and half-sister to Gai and Adrian trained Group 1 filly Tropical Squall, winner of the Flight Stakes and Surround Stakes. Making it a family we know how to train.He has been working very sharp during his first preparation at Randwick and has shown an electric turn of foot, something we are looking forward to seeing on race day.

Dundeel/Panna Cotta '24

Dundeel is the sire of 10 individual Group 1 winners after Idle Flyer claimed the Group 1 Queen of the Turf Stakes. He is emerging as a sire of sires through Super Seth and Castelvecchio, both already proven as Group 1-producing stallions. With further high-class sons such as Celestial Legend now heading to stud, Dundeel’s influence is continuing to build.He is out of Panna Cotta, a stakes-placed Fastnet Rock mare who was a sharp two-year-old winner and placed in Listed company. She comes from a strong, current family featuring Group 1 performers Alegron and Stretan Angel, alongside high-class Group winners Serene Majesty and Ducasse. The Dundeel/Fastnet Rock cross has also been a reliable one, producing a strong winners-to-runners strike rate and multiple stakes performers.He is thriving at Randwick. The work rider who rides Sir Delius said this colt has the potential to develop into a very good horse, commenting he is very straightforward to ride, has a lovely attitude and enjoys rolling forward in his work.
