Rosehill   30 May 2026
 
GOING: H(9)

NSW BOOKMAKERS CO-OP HANDICAP 1500m

Track: Heavy 9   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True. (Pent: 6.08)  

Just a moderate tempo headed by John Dory, Ertijaaj and Covert Thinking. ERTIJAAJ (15) well-bred imported mare who circled the field on her Australian debut for a dominant Maiden victory over 1500m at the Caulfield Heath on April 29. Sent to Sydney when fourth over 1030m in a recent Rosehill trial. Gets the right run and she looks to have a big motor. Hard to stop. COVERT THINKING (7) underrated mare resuming and undefeated in two heavy track starts. Fitted with the three searching trials and will prove hard to hold out with Stanley's 3kg claim. DUVANA (1) lived up to expectations for the new yard last prep and looks to have come back even stronger this time in. Has wet track form and must be kept safe. JOHN DORY (9) improving with racing and looking for this trip and further now. No shock to see him finish over the top of these. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ertijaaj can go quickly through the grades.
