We have studied the form from all races across the country for Saturday, March 19, and provided our best horse racing tips.
If Melbournians thought last week was ‘Super Saturday’ then one can only imagine the superlative they would be required to come up with to describe this!
An absolute bumper card at Rosehill, to rival Derby Day, and the All Star Mile is the perfect compliment to the delights served up by the Sydney folk this week.
We have made five selections in total and are confident that we have found you some winners! So, read on below to find our best horse racing tips for this Saturday, March 19.
Rosehill, Race 3 – 6. Luncies ($7.00)
Very promising stayer from the Kris Lees yard.
All but beat the rejuvenated Warning in the St Leger last time, then
out in a bold showing when always chasing behind the horse in the same ownership interests, Zeyrek, second up and first go at a trip this time in.
Sure to strip fitter for that, and gets a nice weight pull here with in form hoop Jason Collett staying aboard.
Nice value for a horse on the up in an open affair.
Flemington, Race 6 – 1. I’m Thunderstruck ($7.00)
Think the market has it pretty right here. Only three real chances with a few romantics specking Pinstriped.

Zaaki was underdone and undone by the late venue change on account of the wet weather last start but you have to imagine he will strip fitter here giving him the edge over Inspirational Girl but we are sticking solid with I’m Thunderstruck and going with the different form line.
Tracks have been against him his first two this time in but he looks a Flemington horse, he’s hard fit third up and I’m inclined to think the #1 draw suits on a track that gives every runner their chance on most days which should see him unleash the beast that we saw in the Golden Eagle.
I probably came into a touch early this campaign given his ‘Wow!’ factor last time around but I think the real horse will stand up on Saturday.
Rosehill, Race 7 – 12. Hilal ($10/$3.00)
Plenty of reasons to dodge the Guineas and head here. Forget all the nonsense about Converge and Anamoe, this race is worth more coin, plus you have the prestige of beating older horses with a valuable stallion prospect and that in itself is a big enough lead in for me.
Went enormous in the Hobartville then just spun his wheels in the Guineas back along the inside on a very heavy track along with copping one across the snout from his rival hoop at a crucial stage.
The forecast doesn’t look great given we are starting on an 8 but I am prepared to back him, and with confidence if we stay at that number or in the unlikely event Sydney folk get a reprieve from the weather gods and there is an upgrade.
Rosehill, Race 8 – 4. Shalatin ($34/$8.00)
*This horse has since been scratched.*
Disappointed Joe Pride didn’t elect to go with the shades here and I’ll be filthy if he switches off in a hot run race and then winds up late for a placing.
Maybe he is a Sire’s Produce horse but I’m prepared to roll the dice and say they have been playing games with him given he qualified for this race last time in and I’ll be having a healthy each way ticket here in what really looks a wide open Slipper.
Rosehill, Race 9 – 8. Isotope ($3.90)
She’s looked a Group 1 horse for a long time now and she gets her chance on Saturday.

She’s well in at the weights for a horse that should have two Magic Millions features to her name, drawn to get either one off or with cover in a 3 deep running line and McEvoy taking over from Maloney is certainly no negative.
In fact, this might even be his Everest ride if things go to plan Saturday. And he does know a thing or three about that race.
Very keen here.
Best Bet – 1. I’m Thunderstruck (Flemington, Race 6)
Next Best – 8. Isotope (Rosehill, Race 9)
Best Roughie – 4. Shalatin (Rosehill, Race 8)
