The hype around 3 year old Sarajevo has been huge for a horse that’s had just the one start for one win in a maiden, but we’ll see how good the Godolphin runner is when he contests The Rosebud at Randwick tomorrow.

Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has Sarajevo a $2.70 favourite (in from $3.00) but there’s been plenty of support for Gai Waterhouse’s impressive runner Nayeli ($3.20).
The Rosebud is merely a stepping stone for Sarajevo, who’s an $8.00 equal favourite with Almalad for next month’s Group One Golden Rose.
“The boom on Sarajevo is unbelievable but understandable. The recent barrier trial where the horse flew past the likes of Boban and Villa Verde was exceptional and John O’Shea looks to have a star in the making,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
