Timeform Australian SmartPlays: Rosehill, Saturday March 2

Timeform Australia have picked out three bets from Rosehill

Timeform Australia supply their three best bets at Rosehill on Saturday.

Wet weather is again set to be a key factor at Rosehill this weekend where the feature race is the Group 2 Silver Slipper Stakes (1100m).

From a betting perspective, two-year-old racing conducted on rain-affected going is fraught with danger however looking outside the feature event some attractive propositions can be found.

Frozen Rope contests the Listed Parramatta Cup (2000m) in career-best form and should go on with the job stepping up to stakes company after his latest success at the track a fortnight ago. The versatile galloper rises in trip on that effort and faces a number of rivals again here who he accounted for last start.

Carry Me Bluey got within a half length of Frozen Rope last start however meets him worse at the weights for that defeat as apprentice Sam Clipperton can not utilise his 2kg claim. Adam Duggan's stable star should relish the anticipated wet track and record his fourth win this campaign.

Red Tracer in her second run back from a spell can take out the Group 3 Millie Fox Stakes (1300m). The 2012 Millie Fox Stakes winner couldn't quite get the job done on resuming in the Breeders Classic (1200m) however will have taken benefit from the outing. Second up rising in distance and possessing wonderful credentials on rain affected ground the mare should take a power of beating.

Leading Sydney jockey Nash Rawiller takes the ride who is unbeaten aboard the reliable five-year-old from two starts.

Whitlam has hit the ground running for his new stable and will look to claim a third straight win in the Benchmark 85 Handicap (1200m) which concludes the eight race program at Rosehill on Saturday. The Kris Lees-trained galloper overpowered his rivals late at this track last start on a Heavy 10 and four weeks later finds a similar race. Expect a similar result here from an in form galloper and stable firing on all cylinders at present.
