Rosehill Racing Tips Sept 12: Can Foire De Trone Repeat?
Overview
M J Dunn doesn’t often need four cracks at the same race, but that’s exactly what he’s got in the Tab Highway at Rosehill on Saturday. Wayburn, Chilled With Ice, The Torque Xpress and Brutal Miss all carry his colours in a twenty-horse field, and his record at this track backs the raid: six winners and ten placegetters from fifteen runners, a genuine 40% strike rate at a track where most trainers would take half that. These Rosehill racing tips work through all three races on the card, from that sprawling Highway through to a genuine staying test over 2625m, and lean on a jockey who tops every rider here on both ends of the ledger and a galloper chasing back-to-back wins on the way through. There’s one horse we’d happily make the bet of the day, a couple of each-way thoughts for the rest, and a card that rewards anyone willing to look past the obvious runner in the market.
Reading the Rosehill card
Three races, all on the Rosehill turf, and a spread that runs from a 20-horse Highway handicap over 1531m through a 15-runner Midway benchmark at 1312m to an eight-horse staying test over 2625m. That last one is the shape-defining race of the day — genuine out-and-out stayers doing battle over more than 2600m, a distance that sorts out the pretenders from the real thing fast. These Rosehill racing tips are built off today’s actual runners, not the whole training population at the track, so the numbers below are specific to this field.
Course form worth noting: most of today’s runners have raced at Rosehill once or twice at most, which is standard for a Highway-heavy card pulling from the provinces, but four horses have enough runs here to mean something.
| Horse | Runs | Wins | Places | Win% | Place% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Main Event | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0% | 33.33% |
| Golden Century | 4 | 0 | 1 | 0% | 25% |
| Formal | 4 | 0 | 1 | 0% | 25% |
| Dubbo Boy | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0% | 0% |
None of those four have actually won at Rosehill, which tells its own story — today’s more interesting course form sits with the jockeys and trainers rather than the horses.
| Jockey | Runs | Wins | Places | Win% | Place% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N Rawiller | 42 | 6 | 25 | 14.29% | 59.52% |
| J B McDonald | 69 | 19 | 39 | 27.54% | 56.52% |
| Zac Lloyd | 77 | 24 | 39 | 31.17% | 50.65% |
| K McEvoy | 56 | 4 | 24 | 7.14% | 42.86% |
| Anna Roper | 37 | 2 | 14 | 5.41% | 37.84% |
| Tim Clark | 68 | 13 | 28 | 19.12% | 41.18% |
| Siena Grima | 58 | 9 | 23 | 15.52% | 39.66% |
| Braith Nock | 61 | 4 | 23 | 6.56% | 37.70% |
Zac Lloyd wins nearly a third of his Rosehill rides from a 77-run sample, the best strike rate of anyone in today’s jockey room, and J B McDonald isn’t far behind on both counts. Both have live rides on the card.
| Trainer | Runs | Wins | Places | Win% | Place% |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M J Dunn | 15 | 6 | 10 | 40.0% | 66.67% |
| John O’Shea & Tom Charlton | 26 | 4 | 13 | 15.38% | 50.0% |
| Nathan Doyle | 32 | 4 | 14 | 12.5% | 43.75% |
| C J Waller | 220 | 37 | 89 | 16.82% | 40.45% |
| Bjorn Baker | 77 | 8 | 29 | 10.39% | 37.66% |
| C Maher | 56 | 5 | 20 | 8.93% | 35.71% |
| R & L Price | 14 | 2 | 5 | 14.29% | 35.71% |
| A & S Freedman | 16 | 2 | 5 | 12.5% | 31.25% |
M J Dunn’s number jumps off the page — six wins and ten places from fifteen runners is a genuine sample, not a hot streak, and it’s why sending four runners into one Highway isn’t reckless, it’s a stable that knows exactly where it wins.

Race by race
Race 1: Tab Highway Hcp (C3) — 11:50, 1531m
Xtreme has looked the making of a Rosehill horse for two runs now, home for a photo finish both times without quite getting the money end of it. The wider form line backs it up — two wins, three seconds and a third from his last six starts, nothing worse than third across that entire stretch, and both Rosehill runs have landed him in the placings. K McEvoy takes over from 123.4kg, middle of the weights in a twenty-horse field, and trainer Paul Snowden’s own numbers at the track are thin (just four runners here) so this is much more a horse-form case than a stable one.
The danger is Wayburn, and the danger is really M J Dunn. Wayburn won on his only start at Rosehill and has backed that up with a win and a place from two runs in the past three months, and he’s one of four runners the stable has loaded into this race. Draw 13 isn’t ideal in a big field, but with a trainer strike rate like Dunn’s backing him, he’s not one to leave off the ticket. Chilled With Ice, The Torque Xpress and Brutal Miss make up the rest of the Dunn armada, none with the same résumé, but worth knowing the yard is clearly having a real crack here rather than making up the numbers.
Win bet on Xtreme, with Wayburn taken each-way as the play if the speed map opens up kindly for Dunn’s four.
Race 2: Midway (Bm72) — 12:25, 1312m
Heroic Deed arrives unbeaten this campaign; Annie’s Rose arrives unbeaten at Rosehill. One of those records is going to look a lot better than the other come race time. Heroic Deed has won both runs since his most recent break, with an average finishing spot of first, and trainer Nathan Doyle doubles up in this race with Better Late — Doyle’s Rosehill numbers (32 runners, better than 43% placed) are genuine enough to lean on. Ashley Morgan takes the ride.
Annie’s Rose is the each-way case. She’s won both her starts at this track, though her broader recent form has been up and down — a win and a placing from two runs in the past three months, with an average finish around fourth — so this is a horse whose Rosehill form line reads better than her CV everywhere else. If whatever suits her about this track shows up a third time, she’s dangerous at the right price. For those wanting a third leg, Stakeholder has strung together two wins from three runs recently under A B Collett and shouldn’t be far away either.
Heroic Deed to win, Annie’s Rose the each-way roughie on the strength of a spotless Rosehill card.
Race 3: Chandon (Bm78) — 13:00, 2625m
Foire de Trone is the one they’ll all be measuring themselves against over this trip. He’s barely missed a beat stepping up in distance — two wins and a minor placing from his last three runs, never worse than second — and J B McDonald partners him again. That matters at Rosehill specifically: McDonald wins better than a quarter of his rides here and places more than half, numbers few riders on this card can touch. Trainer C Maher’s own Rosehill figures are moderate rather than outstanding (56 runners, under 9% winners), but the horse’s own scoring streak is doing the heavy lifting, not the stable stat.
The complication is Appeared. Two runs back from a break, two wins, average finishing position of exactly first — that’s about as hot as recent form gets — but he’s never raced at Rosehill and this trip asks a genuine staying question of him for the first time. Bjorn Baker’s stable numbers at the track are solid without being spectacular (77 runners, under 11% winners), so the query mark is really whether that scoring streak survives the step up to 2625m at an unfamiliar track. Golden Century is the swinging type worth a mention too — Zac Lloyd is aboard, and he’s the best strike-rate jockey in today’s entire book, even if the horse’s own course form here (four runs, one placing) doesn’t scream confidence.
Win bet on Foire de Trone, with Appeared taken as a saver each-way given how sharp his last two runs have been.

The plays
Here’s where the money goes if you’re building around these Rosehill racing tips rather than picking through each race cold. Foire de Trone is the NAP: two wins from his last three, a rider who does his best work anywhere at this track, and a distance that plays to his staying pattern rather than against it. Annie’s Rose is the value angle — a mare with a perfect record at Rosehill that the market is likely to discount because the rest of her form doesn’t match it. Xtreme is the banker for anyone building a multi; nothing worse than third in six runs and a placing in both Rosehill starts is about as low-risk as this card gets. Wayburn owns the each-way ticket off the back of Dunn’s trainer numbers and his own unbeaten record at the track. And the repeatable course angle for the rest of the season is M J Dunn himself — a 40% winner and 66.67% placegetter from fifteen Rosehill runners is not a stat that happens by accident.
If Dunn keeps sending four at a time to this track at that strike rate, he’s the Rosehill angle worth building a staking plan around long after Saturday.
