ROSEHILL

RACE SEVEN – MCKELL CUP
Stockman was pretty solid most of the day heading into the running of the XXXX WJ McKell Cup (2000 metres).
Opening at $5 in the morning and bottoming out at $4, he would jump a $4.80 chance and was popular with eachway backers.
Noted wet-tracker Wu Gok ($5.50-$7-$6) held the most money while Approach Discreet ($5.50-$5) was a noted firmer all week after opening at $10.
Yonkers ($6-$10-$8) came in form late support once double figures were on offer.

FLEMINGTON
RACE THREE
One of the more popular results at Flemington today was Express Pass in the Murray Cox Handicap (1000 metres).
A little soft early in the day going $2.90-$3.20, the late money for the
Express Pass saw it back into $2.90 at the jump.
Overall, he held nearly three times as much money as anything else.
BETS: Express Pass $2,000 @ $3, $5,000 @ $2.90, $3,500 @ $2.90
RACE SEVEN – CRESWICK STAKES
It was a blowout here with Free To Move scoring at triple figures.
One of the roughest in the field (with only The Cruiser @ $201 longer), Free To Move wasn’t fancied at all at $101 on TAB Fixed Odds.
Most of the money here was on Curran ($3.70-$3-$3.10) who was nearly twice as popular as the next best in the market, Snickerdoodledandy ($4.60).
IPSWICH
RACE SEVEN – IPSWICH CUP
Happy Go Plucky only had light specking for the TAB Ipswich Cup (2150 metres).
Drifting from $19-$26 on the day, Happy Go Plucky was one of the least favoured runners in terms of money held.
So You Win ($4.20) was the most popular in front of Humbolt Current ($8-$4.40-$5) while In Good Health ($4.40-$3.30-$3.60) went around as favourite.
BETS: In Good Health $2,500 @ $3.40
RACE EIGHT – EYE LINER STAKES
Snitch was a quiet speck throughout the day for the running of the City of Ipswich Eye Liner Stakes (1350 metres).
The Tony Gollan-trained galloper opened the day a $9.50 chance and jumped at $8, however, it held just a fraction of the money that the favourites did.
Amish Boy ($3.50) was easily the most popular and held 40 percent of the total investment while Axe ($3.70-$3.20) was next best but held half of what that galloper did.
BETS: Snitch $1,000 e/w @ $9/$2.70
RACE NINE – GAI WATERHOUSE CLASSIC
Lillemor did the right thing by her backers by taking out a thrilling edition of the Gai Waterhouse Classic (1200 metres).
The John O’Shea-trained mare opened the day at $4.20 and bottomed out at $3.80 before jumping at her morning quote. She spoiled the move for Intrepidacious ($8.50-$6.50) which had consistent eachway support all afternoon.
Boomtown Lass ($4-$6) was a drifter but was the only horse in the race to hold six figures.
BETS: Lillemor $2,000 @ $4.20, $1,000 @ $4.20 MULTIPLE TIMES, $1,000 @ $4, $1,700 @ $3.80
BETS: Boomtown Lass $3,000 e/w @ $6.50/$2.40
BETS: Niedorp $1,000 @ $10 MULTIPLE TIMES
