Our resident form analyst Nic Ashman is backing the Heritage Stakes form to stand up in Saturday’s Tapp-Craig at Rosehill.
Rosehill R5 N2 FARNICLE
“Won debut over unsuitable short trip before given a Group-level campaign in Queensland during the winter carnival,” Ashman said.
“We learnt there he isn’t as effective on wet ground. His ratings dropped off noticeably despite not performing too badly.
“His first-up run beaten 1L off a slow tempo in the Listed Heritage Stakes was super given he profiles as a miler and chased home MARHOONA. Maps for rails in run and looks ready for 1400m.”
The top price around for FARNICLE as of Friday afternoon was $2.90
Nic’s tips are striking at 54% since the beginning of 2024 with 28 collects from 52 selections.
