While Rosehill Racecourse will host a thrilling three-year-olds showdown with the $1 million Group 1 Golden Rose (1400m) on Saturday, a brilliant line-up of spring stars will also be lining-up at Caulfield in the $200,000 Group 2 Memsie Stakes (1400m).
Many champions on the 2010 Melbourne Cup path resume racing in the 2010 Memsie Stakes this Saturday, making the weight-for-age feature one of the best betting opportunities of the month at [sportsbet].
Top chances having their first-up spring start in the Memsie include Horse of the Year Typhoon Tracy, Bart Cummings’ 2009 Cox Plate champion So You Think, second-favourite for the 2010 Melbourne Cup Faint Perfume and dual Group 1 winner Whobegotyou.
But without doubt the hot favourite for the race is John Wallace’s 2010 Cox Plate favourite Shoot Out.
Drawn well in barrier six, fit and in-form following his two season wins in the Bletchingly Stakes and JJ Liston Stakes, and benefiting from the wet track Shoot Out is definitely the horse to beat on Saturday.
