Rosehill - Race 4 2:15pm AEDT
No. 16 Shohisha
Shohisha won on debut at Warwick Farm before finishing down the order in the Group 2 Furious Stakes, while she returned to action this year to only just miss in the Gosford Guineas.
With natural improvement, something like this at Rosehill looks well within her abilities.
Rosehill - Race 7 4pm AEDT
No. 2 Converge
Multiple Group 1 winner Converge finds himself in a very winnable feature race this weekend.
It has been a short while since he was victorious, but his recent performances have suggested a win is just around the corner, and the January Cup is almost certainly the weakest task he’s been set this season.
Flemington - Race 8 4:15pm AEDT
No. 15 Deakin
European import Deakin dusted off the cobwebs with a fair performance to finish midfield on debut for Phillip Stokes last month before giving his rivals a galloping lesson over 2000m at Pakenham.
He stays at that trip this week and with further improvement, he can make it two in a row today at Flemington.
Rosehill - Race 8 4:35pm AEDT
No. 5 Cigar Flick
Cigar Flick couldn’t have done a lot more without winning the Listed Just Now up in Brisbane two starts back, while she was hampered for a run before ultimately finishing fourth in a similar race at her latest appearance.
This is a drop in class, she’s a fit horse and her winning claims have been boosted by the booking of James McDonald.
