Timeform Australian SmartPlays: Rosehill, Saturday March 30

It's Rosehill Guineas day on Saturday

Timeform Australia look ahead to one of Rosehill's biggest days of the year.

The Rosehill Guineas (2000m) is the headline act on Saturday in a nine race program also featuring the Group 1 Galaxy (1100m).

Look no further than It's A Dundeel for the Rosehill Guineas winner after the Murray Baker-trained colt showed a good turn of foot over the mile in the Randwick Guineas 14 days ago. Equipped with blinkers for the first time, It's A Dundeel accounted for some top-shelf opposition in claiming his second Group 1 success.

Third up rising in distance It's A Dundeel now appears to find what profiles as a more suitable affair for the colt. There looks to be less depth in this contest than the Randwick Guineas with Fiveandahalfstar arguably the only danger. Expect It's A Dundeel to settle worse than midfield and be powering home on his way towards claiming the second leg of the Sydney 3YO Triple Crown.

Punters can kick their day off in winning fashion when Ichihara contests the Darby Munro Stakes (1200m). Ichihara lines up in the event after taking out the Eskimo Prince Stakes (1200m) beating the likes of Heart Testa and Limes. The kicker here though is she meets Heart Testa and Limes 4kg and 2.5kg better at the weights respectively. Ichihara should be somewhere around peak fitness fourth up and at her current quote represents value.

Howmuchdoyouloveme shapes as a good chance at odds in the Group 1 Galaxy (1100m). The Con Karakatsanis-trained sprinter resumed well in the Challenge Stakes (1000m) where he placed behind exciting filly Snitzerland. The pair clash again here however with a few factors in his favour Howmuchdoyouloveme is capable of turning the tables. An inside barrier and 4.5kg weight swing over Snitzerland returning to handicap conditions each auger well for the Written Tycoon gelding.
