The Plunge’s Black Book: Horses Running At Rosehill 27/3

An emerging 3yo sprinter that will be looking the cement himself as the countries next sprinting star and the 2yo colt that is sure to appreciate the wet track in the Golden Slipper are the stand outs of my black book runners on a day with 5 Group 1s at Rosehill on Saturday.

My lone black book runner, Masked Crusader, saluted last Friday at Moonee Valley at the handsome odds of $7.5.

Rosehill Race 3 – Icebath

This Widdup trained mare looks beautifully placed in the G3 Epona Stakes with only 54kg on her back. She has a sensational record on wet tracks and has been racing well without winning in stronger races, most recently the G1 Coolmore where she finished 2 lengths off Krone with 54kg.

There are a couple of things punters should be wary of; most notably due to being a late nomination for this race after last week’s postponement she is currently 2nd emergency and relies on 2 scratchings to gain a start. Also, she won’t want the track to dry out to anything better than a soft 7 which is unlikely early in the day. And finally, she does have to contend with gate 16 but I do believe the outside will be the better going and I believe this gate may be a blessing if she is to get out to that part of the straight.

Rosehill Race 7 – Profiteer

Profiteer is all the rage in the Golden Slipper markets and it’s easy to see why with all the things that seem to be falling into place for the Price and Kent trained colt.

Barrier 5 is a huge tick where he will land on the speed and either control the race or take a sit off a bunny if something wants to set a hectic pace.

The wet track may be a query for a lot of these runners but there is no doubt Profiteer revels in it after he dominated the Inglis Millennium field from pillar to post winning by 5 lengths.

I do believe the Todman along with the Blue Diamond are the two form races for this year’s Slipper and although he was pipped on the post by Anamoe, Mick Price has been strong in his conviction that his colt will improve lengths off that Todman run.

Hugh Bowman got off him on Tuesday morning and told stable staff that they will be dancing Saturday night so it’s hard not to take note of the confidence oozing from connections.

Rosehill Race 8 – Wild Ruler

Wild Ruler stepped out for his first run this preparation in the Listed Fireball Stakes and easily put away a field of up and coming 3yos.

The Snowden trained colt jumped well and was quickly headed by Mamaragan who went on to set blistering early sectionals. J Mac sat four lengths off the tear away leader in second and was forced to cart the field up to the leader.

Mamaragan quickly faded and eventually finished 4L away last in the small field. The race shaped nicely for the likes of Andermatt, Doubtland and On the Lead to finish strong from the tail of the field but when asked to deliver Wild Ruler pinned the ears back and let down a strong run to win by 1.3L over place getters he was giving away 3kg to due to the set weight with penalty conditions.

He steps up to open Group 1 company in the Galaxy at Rosehill but benefits from dropping right down to 52kg. Seasoned sprinters like Eduardo, Fabergino, Tailleur, Haut Brion Her and Jonker are going to ensure there is a hectic pace up front. I can see Wild Ruler sitting in behind them and fanning out to the best part of the track and being very strong late here.
