ROSEHILL MULTI

RACE 7 (12) BROKEN ARROWS: Ready to peak at her third run since resuming following two strong placings behind Adelong in similar company at Randwick and Rosehill. This time she gets the advantage of a 4.5kg drop in weight from her last start second in the heavy over this course and distance and will meet that major rival on 2.5kg better terms. She's a late closer and this event sets up nicely for her as there will be a lot of early pressure on the leaders and she will be saved for the last run at them.

RACE 9 (5) NIGHT OF POWER: Interesting Irish import back for his second Australian campaign and looks ready to perform after an impressive trial placing behind Classique Legend at Canterbury on May 29. He won three times in Ireland up to 2414m in Ireland but was placed first-up last time over 1250m before getting out in distance that included a 1550m win at Canterbury. He's an obvious talent and taking the lead that James McDonald rode him in the trial and sticks with him for his first-up assignment. Expect a bold showing.

WARWICK FARM June 2: Classy mare IRITHEA is holding her form well. She worked well within herself to finish a soft second to the speedy mare LASHES in the fastest of the 794m heats (47.67; 34.25). Both mares were very strong through the line and can be placed to advantage on winter tracks.

Godolphin's G1 winner BEST OF DAYS worked well within himself in his 1200m heat against only two rivals and is in good shape for whatever is planned for him.

CANTERBURY May 29: Top grade sprinter CLASSIQUE LEGEND was set the time standard for the morning with his classy 910m heat win (56.93; 35.43) in the heavy going but the finishing effort of NIGHT OF POWER, running through the line strongly for third, was a real eye catcher and points to him being in the right form to resume.

SUPERBELLA rebounded from her debut failure to record another impressive trial 910m heat win in the fastest of the 2YO heats over all distances (57.09; 36.02) while LADY BANFF, a two time Brisbane winner early in the season, wasn't far behind winning her 910m heat with plenty in hand (57.29; 36.35). OH SAY, an imposing unraced youngster and a noted winner of an earlier trial at Rosehill, looked good finishing a close second under no pressure in her 910m heat (57.55; 36.20).
