ROSEHILL PARLAY

RACE 6 (9) Reelem In Ruby: Progressive mare bounced off a first-up second over 1200m at Warwick Farm to put away her rivals with ease over 1300m at that same course on May 1 carrying 59kg. Yet to miss a place in five starts and with a 3.5kg drop in weight off her last start is well placed to measure up to this stronger class.

RACE 7 (5) Grey Lion: Trial watchers found his last start win over 2000m at Randwick a month ago at big odds no real surprise and he is primed to repeat after another strong 1200m barrier trial win two weeks ago, indicative that his trainer Matt Smith has found the key to getting the best of the import. The Wagga Cup winner Abdon came out of the Randwick race and they meet again on the same terms.

RACE 8 (13) Desert Lord: Lightly-raced prospect went for a break 73 days ago after carrying 58kg to a hollow win by more than four lengths over 1400m on the Kensington track and an impressive trial win at this course last Monday points to him picking up where he left off. Seems his astute stable have their eyes on Brisbane and they have found the ideal launch for him fresh as he gets down in the weights from a perfect barrier draw.
