Rosehill Race 5 - Asahi Super Dry Sky High Stakes (G3)
Tricky contest. WOOTTON VERNI (5) J Mac hops on third-up after returning slick closing splits when fifth to Autumn Glow over 1600m in the G1 Verry Elleegant (Chipping Norton) Stakes at Randwick. Drops in grade and weight over his pet trip. Will race closer and figure prominently. SOUL OF SPAIN (4) another who surprised over the unsuitable trip at his second run back when savaging the line to secure fourth in the G1 Verry Elleegant (Chipping Norton). Maps well from the draw and not to be underestimated with his good third-up record. VAUBAN (1) classy stayer who can pull out a big run fresh. Primed with the two searching trials over 1200m. JUST FINE (3) game on-pace stayer with excellent second-up credentials. Not that far away when ninth in the G3 Parramatta Cup over 1900m here. Drops in weight and looks value. VALIANT KING (7) has a proven second-up record and looks the best of the rest.
