This Saturday in Sydney the Rosehill racing action is highlighted by the lucrative 2015 The BMW Stakes, a detailed form guide analysis and betting preview for the weight-for-age classic found right here.
Eleven gallopers remain in the mix for this autumn’s $1.5 million Group 1 The BMW (2400m) after the Donna Logan-trained Kiwi mare Rising Romance was scratched due to a hoof issue, heat found in her heel.
The early scratching has seen The BMW odds on a host of the runners still in contention firm at Ladbrokes.com.au including the firm favourite To The World.
The Japanese-trained raider debuts down under in the mile and a half showdown ahead of an even richer autumn assignment, the $4 million Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) at Randwick on Day 2 of The Championships on April 11.
He is favourite for both races, the progressive King Kamehameha stallion racing for the first time since his second to Gentildonna as a $31 outsider in the Group 1 Arima Kinen (2500m) on December 28.
His first-up record is solid with three seconds and a win from four runs, and he has firmed in from $2.70 to $2.25 to take out The BMW tomorrow.
The next best in betting at $3.40 is another market mover Hartnell who was out to as long as $3.80 earlier before being tightened back in.
John O’Shea’s British import has a gun barrier three draw with top jockey James McDonald staying on after the duo took out the Group 3 Sky High Stakes (2000m) at the track on March 14, Hartnell’s second run in Australia after a first-up second in the Group 1 Chipping Norton Stakes (1600m) behind fellow Godolphin import Contributer.
The other top fancies are then Melbourne Cup winning German import Protectionist ($8.50) and classy mare Lucia Valentina ($9).
That’s the story from the bookies but what about The BMW history, form guide and betting trends?
The only previous winners at the track are: #9 Silent Achiever (6-2-1-1), #10 Lucia Valentina (3-1-0-1), #4 Opinion (7-1-2-0) and #8 Hartnell (1-1-0-0)
