We’ve got a highly touted Cox Plate import headlining the field here for the Rosehill Gold Cup, will it take out the honours, or will the local talent be good enough? Find out in our Runner By Runner analysis!
1. Gold Trip (9) – $3.95
Jockey – T Clark
Trainer – Maher & Eustace
Exceptional pedigree, and we all know how good the European middle distance and staying types are. Was meant to be better than State Of Rest who won the Cox Plate last week. If he’s fit, he could be a moral.
2. Think It Over (3) – $3
Jockey – N Rawiller
Trainer – K Parker
You’d just about be declaring this galloper if Gold Trip wasn’t here. Has been a very consistent horse this preparation, and will be right in the finish. Looks short enough at the moment.
You'd love to own Think It Over!

3. Shared Ambition (5) – $13
Jockey – L Magorrian
Trainer – C Waller
Has had the chance to turn over Think It Over multiple times this prep and hasn’t been able to, can’t see that changing here.
4. Yonkers (6) – $35
Jockey – G Schofield
Trainer – C Waller
Had its birthday when winning the Shannon Stakes two runs ago, would need lightning to strike twice to have a chance here.
5. Lion’s Roar (7) – $8.50
Jockey – H Bowman
Trainer – J O’Shea
Hasn’t quite made the transition from three to four, this looks a big test.
6. Sky Lab (4) – $8
Jockey – J Parr
Trainer – P Perry
Absolutely flew home in the Craven Plate behind Think It Over, clocking some huge sectional late. If it can improve again it will be in the finish at a nice each way price, goes in exotics.
Think It Over justifies the short price in the Group 3 Craven Plate with an emphatic victory.@kjparkerracing @nashhot @aus_turf_club pic.twitter.com/MgRk3bkgqb

7. Kukeracha (10) – $23
Jockey – J Collett
Trainer – C Waller
Deep in the prep and hasn’t looked up to it so far, not going to have a big say in the race.
8. Rock (1) – $13
Jockey – T Berry
Trainer – M, W, & J Hawkes
Had a big effort in the Epsom and then was hampered in the last 400m, could have a throw at the stumps each way if you’re a fan.
9. Soldier Of Love (2) – $41
Jockey – A Collett
Trainer – B Baker
Price tells the tale, not in this.
10. Young Rascal (11) – $126
Jockey – K O’Hara
Trainer – R & M Freedman
Could add a zero to the price and I still wouldn’t be interested.
11. Kiss The Bride (12) – $51
Jockey – J Ford
Trainer – B Baker
Would have to start running now to have a chance.
12. Mirann (8) – $41
Jockey – J V Overmeire
Trainer – J O’Shea
Not up to this.
Final Say
There’s an element of the unknown here with the international raider Gold Trip. If it is fit and ready to go, it will likely just win against the B or C Grade middle distance horses in the field. We’re on it’s side.
