Sacramento (Rosehill Race 6 No. 11)
This four-year-old Pierro gelding trained by Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott has five wins and three places from 15 starts. He fought hard to get the bob in for a narrow win on a soft track over 1800m at Randwick on 9 January, then led all the way for a 2.3 length win over 2000m at Randwick on 23 January. He is in great form and should win this.

Handle The Truth (Rosehill Race 8 No. 1):
This five-year-old Star Witness gelding trained by Keith Dryden at Canberra has eight wins and five places from 24 starts and has three wins at this track. He ran 1.3 lengths 4th in The Kozciuszko (which he won in 2019) on 17 October before 0.06, 2.16 lengths 3rd in the 1400m Goulburn Cup on 4 November. Resuming from a 15 week spell he has won four of seven first-up starts and rates a great each-way chance.

Lackeen (Rosehill Race 9 No. 4):
This four-year-old gelding trained by James Cummings is the early favourite in this BM 78 handicap over 1400m. He has race four times in Europe for a win and two places and ran 2nd in an open trial over 1045m at Randwick on 5 February. His last race was on 31 August where he finished 6 lengths 4th of 7 over 1600m at Saint Cloud and he looks too short in the market for a horse not used to Australian racing.
