The ‘Magic Man’ Joao Moreira was in sparkling form in the saddle over the autumn and he jumps aboard an underrated Waller Colt at value odds in the feature at Rosehill on Saturday.
Earlier in the card, a quality mare looks primed to savage the line and racing guru Professor Robert Furlongsworth has locked her in as his best bet of the weekend.
Best Bet – Rosehill (Saturday)
ESPIONA ($2.70, $1.20), Race 6, 1400m.
Savaged the line late behind a very talented one in the Sheraco here a fortnight ago.
She’s a quality mare who should thrive out to 1400m and looks hard to beat here.
Tip: Win
What a brilliant result for great supporters @StarTbreds, @RBloodstock & @cwallerracing as our @mmsnippets sold graduate Espiona wins the G1 Coolmore Classic, with the daughter of @NewgateFarm's Extreme Choice recording her fourth black type victory!#RaisedWithHeart ❤️ pic.twitter.com/Wq9x591SXK

Value Bet
MILITARIZE ($9.00, $2.50), Golden Rose, Race 8, 1400m.
Finished off strongly in the Run to the Rose to serve notice of his capabilities.
The ‘Magic Man’ Joao Moreira went 2 for 2 aboard him at Group 1 level in the autumn and he appears underrated in the feature.
Tip: Win
