Rosehill racing kicks off at 12:30pm (AEDT) and the bumper nine-race card continues through until the Doncaster Mile hopes face off in the Prelude at 5:50pm (AEDT).

There are a host of important ‘The Championships’ lead-ups taking place should racing continue past the weekend including the ATC Derby hopes facing off in Race 3 – the Group 2 Tulloch Stakes field led by Quick Thinker ($2.45 @ Ladbrokes.com.au).

The meeting’s marquee race is the Group 1 Tancred Stakes (2400m) and all nine original acceptors remain in play including the firming $2 favourite at Ladbrokes.com.au, Verry Elleegant who won a Group 1 on this day 12 months ago.

With the Tancred Stakes 2020 taking place quite early in the afternoon, there’s plenty to stay tuned for after the feature including the three-year-old Oaks-bound fillies doing battle next-up in the Group 1 Vinery Stud Stakes (2000m).

There are no current scratchings from the 13-starter Vinery Stud Stakes field and dominating the markets are another Waller-trainer runner, Phar Lap Stakes winning filly Funstar ($1.80 @ Ladbrokes.com.au).
