Savagram, Savvy Diamond and Plagiarism will battle it out tomorrow in the Group 3 Up And Coming Stakes at Rosehill

Playing By The Rules

Emma Reeves aids us with programming and identifies who she thinks is the best placed horse each weekend.SAVAGRAM, Saturday 29th August, Rosehill, Race, 7:Plagiarism is the ‘rule follower’ again here, but so I don’t bore everyone with the same stories, I’ll go with a ‘rule breaker’.Savagram is a colt who has always been held in high regard, so to see him win as dominantly as he did on debut was very pleasing. He’s not perfectly weighted here and he’s the most inexperienced horse in the field, coming straight out of maiden grade into the big leagues, but he might just be the class horse in the race.He’s a full brother to our Group 1 ATC Derby hero, Major Beel, and like his brother, he has shown speed over the shorter distances in the early stages of his career. We believe he’s a horse who could head towards the Spring Champion Stakes, which is a big ask in his first racing preparation, but the good ones can do it.Saturday is his chance to prove he’s one of them.

Gai's Tip Sheet

WEDNESDAY 2nd SEPTEMBER - WARWICK FARMRail Position: +3M Entire BLESSED EAGLE - Race 1, 1.35pm, 1200m, T Clark, 61.5kgBlessed Eagle gave us such a thrill when winning on debut at this track a fortnight ago. He did it the tough way in setting a hot speed from the front, but he showed a fantastic attitude and will to win when challenged which is going to take him a long way. He’s taken plenty of natural improvement from that win so he strips fitter here, and he’ll also be more streetwise and aware of what’s required of him. The first run outside of maiden grade is notoriously tricky but this is a lovely steppingstone for him against his own age group without being forced into a Stakes race, so whilst top weight won’t make life easy it still ticks plenty of boxes. He’s drawn to do no work in barrier 3 so we expect things to pan out similarly to last time, with Tim using his natural speed to get to the front and control the race to suit himself. The additional 100 metres should be well within range second-up with a run under his belt, and with even luck in running we see no reason why he won’t take a power of beating.WAIHEKE ROSE - Race 2, 2.10pm, 1400m, T Clark, 55kgWaiheke Rose is delighting us ahead of her first start. She took great improvement from her first trial to win her latest one in pleasing fashion, and these hit outs have given her a very good fitness base and educational grounding for 1400 metres first-up. Warwick Farm is a very fair track that regularly suits our horses’ racing patterns, so we expect Tim to be positive early from barrier 1 to try and have her in a handy position where she can make her own luck on or close to the lead. She’s been a straightforward and professional filly thus far, and this temperament will take her a long way. She's shown us ability in her trials so whilst this distance is ultimately short of what will be her optimum we think she's capable of making her presence known in this grade, and we’re looking forward to seeing her run a very completive race for you to get her career off to an exciting start.KAKADU SUNSET - Race 5, 3.55pm, 1400m, T Clark, 58.5kgKakadu Sunset got her preparation off to a flying start when finishing a very close third at Canterbury. We knew 1250 metres would be on the short side for her so unsurprisingly she was doing her best work late and absolutely savaged the line, so she’s going to relish this step up to 1400 metres and improve a lot as a result. She’s drawn to do no work in barrier 2 and she maps to settle in midfield, so she should be able to conserve energy and enjoy an even run in transit. There are some progressive horses in opposition but she’s in wonderful form and we expect her to be right there at the finish.

Dundeel is the sire of 10 individual Group 1 winners after Idle Flyer claimed the Group 1 Queen of the Turf Stakes.

The Dundeel/Fastnet Rock cross has also been a reliable one, producing a strong winners-to-runners strike rate and multiple stakes performers.He is thriving at Randwick.
