ROSEHILL
RACE ONE
Welsh Legend ($6-$6.50) was the third most popular horse but held just over a fifth of the money that the favourite Great House ($2-$2.50) did.
Tosacnini ($6) had decent support too.

Other movers included a long range play for Bruckner ($71-$23).

RACE FOUR
Toffee Tongue ($11-$14-$13) only attracted light investment here as most of the money was riding on the favourite.
The drift for Collete was spot on after it went $1.50 out to $1.90 at the jump. She held 57 percent of the money.

The big push for California Zimbol paid off after it was backed from $3.20 into as low as $2.80 before jumping $3.
It was clearly the most popular runner with 36 percent of the total investment.
Of the others, Albumin ($18-$7.50) was decent push.

The big play late was for Hungry Heart ($4.60-$4-$3.80) which came into favouritism.

RACE SEVEN
Krone ($16-$12) had support all day so her win wasn’t a total surprise in the Group One Coolmore Classic.
Forbidden Love ($5-$4.60-$5) was easily the most popular and held nearly twice as much as anything else. Chaillot ($7.50-$6.50-$8).
Other notable moves included Vangelic ($12-$8.50), Madam Rouge ($19-$23-$15), Subpoenaed ($12-$10).
