Rosehill   14 Mar 2026
 
GOING: S(5)

SCHWEPPES HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of pace established by No Drama, Perfumist and Elson Boy, with Sovereign Hill close at hand. CAPTAIN FURAI (11) ready for this trip and further now and gets the right set up from the low draw. Launched late from back in the field with a strong victory over 1300m at this track. Drops 2.5kg in weight here and can keep the winning momentum going. MODELLA (14) went quickly through the grades last prep and will find this more to her liking with the fast tempo. Chipped away late on her return to finish fifth over 1300m in the G2 Millie Fox Stakes at this track. Look for her to be angling for runs late. AMREEKIYAH (18) bounced back to form with a decisive victory over 1400m at Randwick. Drawn the rails and stays in the mix. SOVEREIGN HILL (12) meets Amreekiyah much better at the weights after finishing second at latest. Can get across from the draw and run into the minor money. PERFUMIST (2) Group placed mare resuming with excellent figures over this track and trip. Impressed in two trial wins and stays in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Captain Furai ticks plenty of boxes.
