- To Win: #4 Skybird ($3.90 at time of publish) – BET NOW
A quality line-up of mares in the Rose of Kingston including current favourite Skybird who is hard to knock even from the wide draw. Trained by Mitchell Freedman, this four-year-old was strong first-up when second here over 1200m in a competitive Group 2 Bobbie Lewis Quality. She’s a former Group 2 winner in Adelaide, will be better over 1400m, has the benefit of the lead-up run and can overcome the gate to get the job done here.
