Ladbrokes Tip: The Randwick Guineas – Rosehill Guineas is a popular autumn betting double

The Rosehill Guineas takes place at Rosehill Racecourse in March as part of the elite Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival action on Golden Slipper Stakes Day.

The meeting, usually held on the third Saturday in March, features five top-level races including the Rosehill Guineas run over 2000m for three-year-olds. Run at set weights the colts and geldings in the Rosehill Guineas field carry 56.5kg while the fillies carry 54.5kg.

Many of the three-year-olds in the race come out of the Group 1 Randwick Guineas (1600m) contested over 400m less at Randwick a fortnight earlier and the double was last achieved by It’s A Dundeel (2013) and The Autumn Sun (2019).

The Rosehill Guineas is also a nice lead-up into the Group 1 Australian Derby (2400m) over the mile and a half on Doncaster Mile Day during The Championships. The last horse to do the Rosehill Guineas – Australian Derby double was Criterion (2014).

The latest edition of the Rosehill Guineas ran on Saturday March 27, 2021 on the rescheduled Golden Slipper Day card in Sydney and was won by the favourite Mo’unga.

Rosehill Guineas Tips

Rosehill Guineas tips favour the promising young stayers in the field that come out of the earlier Sydney lead-up run in the Randwick Guineas.

The Randwick Guineas has produced more Rosehill Guineas than any other race and backing the first or second past the post in that mile clash is a good tip when it comes to the second of the Guineas races.

Backing in-form horses drawn inside of barrier eight and avoiding the fillies in the markets based on the historical data are other good Rosehill Guineas tips.

2021 Rosehill Guineas Tips

Our Ladbrokes’ insider Rosehill Guineas 2021 betting tips on the three-year-old autumn staying types to back and sack in the clash this autumn will be detailed below a few days out from the race so bookmark this page.

• To Win: #5 Grandslam ($7 at time of publish) 

It’s always a question of which form line to follow, that from the traditional Sydney lead-up or one from Melbourne? The Randwick Guineas quinella are the dangers, but Grandslam’s Group 2 Alister Clark win over this distance at The Valley last time out was absolutely sensational. The Maher & Eustace colt won by over six lengths and should be right in the finish in Sydney, so long as he handles the Heavy track – the only query.
