2020 GOLDEN ROSE – RACE ANALYSIS AND TIPS
Yardstick should cross and lead with race favourite Rothfire following him across. ROTHFIRE (1) clearly the horse to beat. Was dominant in the Run To The Rose, defeating all of the main rivals he faces again here despite giving them both weight and fitness.
Will strip fitter for the run and now meets Run To The Rose runner up Ole Kirk and third placegetter North Pacific 2.5kg and 1.5kg better at the weights respectively. 1400m no issue having won the JJ Atkins over the trip during the winter. Four of the last six Run To The Rose winners have gone on to win the main event two weeks later and suspect he too will claim the double.
NORTH PACIFIC (5) stuck to his task well in the Run To The Rose. Doubtful he can turn the tables on Rothfire however appears to be first in line if the favourite is off his game. PELTZER (7) produced his best performance last prep when winning over 1300m at Randwick. Bred to appreciate striking the 1400m third run from a spell. OLE KIRK (4) turned heads late in the Run To The Rose but was perhaps flattered late courtesy of the hot early pace.
