Selections and best bets from Chris Scholtz for the Rosehill meeting on November 27 plus Trial Watch and Blackbook runners.
ROSEHILL SATURDAY
Best Bets
RACE 3: (4) REBEL RAMA - With conditions anywhere between a Soft 7 and Heavy 10 it will be a day for proven wet trackers and this mare will be in her element. Her three career wins have all been on affected tracks, including a victory over this course and distance last season before she took on the Queensland Oaks. She won first-up over 1400m in the heavy at Warwick Farm and two subsequent luckless efforts over 1500m and 1800m have her primed to peak with the return to 2000m.
RACE 9: (4) BROOKSPIRE
For Value
RACE 8: (13) BRUTALITY - He's up in class but he's won two of his three starts at Rosehill over 1500m and 1800m and the conditions will play to his strengths as he has won five times with five placings on soft and heavy tracks. There will be good pace from the onset in this field and with his massive 7.5kg drop in weight from his second up placing over 1300m at Newcastle and with blinkers back on for the first time this prep he could run home over the top of the leaders.
RACE 10: (11) ARTERO

TRIAL POINTERS
HAWKESBURY November 22: CLOUDY, a Group winner for Godolphin in Adelaide, is set for bigger things. She led her 800m heat comfortably and was hard held to the line to win narrowly in good time (48.36; 33.75).
NEWCASTLE November 17: Jason Deamer has a nice 2YO prospect in HARD TO SAY, an Exceed And Excel colt who was fourth in the Breeders Plate on debut in the spring. He has plenty on his rivals in the 2YO heat, winning in fast time (48.67; 33.10) and looks a likely prospect for the Magic Millions in January. WEALTHOFKNOWLEDGE, an unraced Capitalist filly, posted the fastest time in the five 1000m trials (61.85;34.40) in the style of an early winner.
RANDWICK November 11: Exceed And Excel colt ATHLETICA showed impressive natural speed to post the quickest time in the five heats over 780m (44.73; 32.88).
RANDWICK October 29: Some good 2YOs have carried the Emirates Park colours and I Am Invincible filly EBHAAR could be their next juvenile star. Stylish debut trial as she settled comfortably in midfield in her 1045m heat before starting a wide run from the 500m, going four deep but travelling well within herself as she easily reeled in the leaders inside the last 200m. Never came off the bit to win with plenty in hand in time that was comparable to the other heats over the distance (63.85; 35.60).
