Check out a selection of our Saturday Racing Tips for August 1st below, including Flemington best bets on Aurie’s Star Handicap Day and Rosehill tips!
ENVIABLE returned to action for a smart win up at Newcastle and gets a great chance to go on with it in metro company.
The Chris Waller-trained filly turned in some fine performances last time in, finishing on the placegetters’ heels in the Group 1 Flight Stakes before ending her campaign a close second behind Salty Pearl in the Group 2 Moonee Valley Fillies Classic.
The $1.12 bet about her in that Newcastle maiden was justified when she kicked away to win easily, and with natural improvement, she can certainly go on with it.

| Second-up. First-up after nine months favourite; came from midfield and won by 2.5 len at Newcastle Mdn-Sw July 14 over 1400m in soft going defeating Hellfighter carrying 57kg at $1.12. Previously second-up 3rd of 10 at Warwick Farm Super 3yo Mdn on September 3 over 1400m, on a slow track; 0.7 len behind Attica carrying 55kg at $14. Talented mare who will keep improving as she gets back out in trip. | |||
STEALTH OF NIGHT was a strong and consistent performer during her first two racing preparations, winning four of eight starts, placing on every other occasion and finding form around some classy individuals.
Her first up run this time was one of a horse that clearly required a hit-out, and with natural improvement, relief in the weights and launching from the good barrier, she can keep alive an unbeaten second up record.
| 2. Stealth Of Night (4) J: Jackson Radley 60.5kg 123×8T: Ben, Will & Jd Hayes | |||
| Second run back. First-up after five months 8th of 12 at Caulfield Bm78 on July 11 over 1100m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Markdel with 58.5kg at $6.50. Previously second-up won by 0.5 len at Sandown-Lakeside Bm70 December 10 over 1400m defeating Thorin with 57kg at $1.80. Better for that and her best form reads well. | |||
SASS APPEAL hasn’t been seen at the races since March, but she enjoyed a meteoric rise to prominence during her debut prep, winning four of five starts and finishing the runner up on the other occasion.
Having trialled up a treat, anything close to her best would be good enough to see her account for this field.
| 10. Sass Appeal (1) J: Logan Bates 53kg 1111xT: Danny O’brien | |||
| Racing first-up today. Finished off last preparation winning won by 2.75 len this track G2 Kewney March 7 over 1600m defeating Pillow Fight with 56kg at $2.35. On debut second of 13 at Sandown-Lakeside 3yo F Mdn-Sw December 10 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Karren carrying 57kg at $26. Very good filly who gets in light, huge chance. | |||
JARRITO has won two of three runs back this campaign, bookending a tough performance for fourth in a race not dissimilar to this one in June, where she finished within a length of the winner.
In peak order this weekend, she’s down in the weights and gets conditions to suit in another suitable contest.
| 12. Jarrito (5) J: Rachel King 55.5kg 0x141T: Bjorn Baker | |||
| Racing well recently. Most recently favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.75 len at Warwick Farm Bm72 July 15 over 1100m defeating Capture Me carrying 56.5kg at $2.45. The start before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 at this track 3yo Bm72 on June 27 over 1100m, on a slow track; 0.9 len behind Lighthouse Lass with 55.5kg at $9. Cherry-ripe now and will take catching in this stronger contest. | |||
