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 21, 2020 and was won by Castelvecchio.

Favourites only have a strong recent record in the Rosehill Guineas with five saluting for the punters in the past decade or, most recently It’s A Dundeel (2013), Tarzino (2016), D’Argento (2018) and The Autumn Sun (2019).

Three-year-olds displaying staying potential are dominant in the Rosehill Guineas odds as are those drawn in barriers 1 – 8.
