AURIE'S STAR HANDICAP
The feature of the day. KING OF ROSEAU (10) comes down from Sydney in fine form, a winner of his past two. He sat midfield off a fast tempo at Rosehill last start and really came away late in good style. Drawn out wide here he can blend into the race and give the favourite a contest. That favourite will (and deserves to) be SPLASH BACK (11) who is off a let up here. She won dominantly fresh over this trip before a breathtaking win over 1420m here, sprouting wings late when looking in all sorts of trouble to get up. She's got a sharp turn of foot and plenty of ability down in the weights for one of the best stables in the country. Go close. MARBLE NINE (2) is hard to knock. He's won his past three, all down the Flemington straight. He'll be up on speed which is his main advantage and a notable one. BOSSY NIC (9) and JOYFUL FORTUNE (1) have each way claims on best figures.
