Saturday racing rolls on with strong metro cards from Ascot, Eagle Farm, Flemington, Morphettville and Rosehill.
- Ascot Roughie Tip
- Eagle Farm Roughie Tip
- Flemington Roughie Tip
- Morphettville Roughie Tip
- Rosehill Roughie Tip
We’ve gone searching through the form to pinpoint runners offering genuine each-way appeal — horses with the right setup, improvement to come, or proven class in the right grade.
Here are our best roughies for the weekend.
Ascot Roughie Tip
Ascot Roughie - Race 10 No. 13 Our Mate Archie
It was a bizarre resumption, where Our Mate Archie was dragged back early from a wide draw and simply never looked interested after losing rhythm mid-race.
The second-up showing was far more encouraging when working early to be put on the speed and whacked away honestly in fifth without threatening.
There’s a platform to spike now, especially with a 1400m run completed, while after drawing out in the October attempts, he now has a soft gate.
The lightly raced five-year-old was very consistent throughout his first season and could improve sharply third-up.
Eagle Farm Roughie Tip
Eagle Farm Roughie - Race 9 No. 1 Miss Joelene
She got a much-deserved black-type win here over 2100m before spell, which capped off a very consistent season.
The main query is that there’s so many here right down in the weights, but double-figure odds for the proven class runner of the field seems generous.
Miss Joelene has four wins and two seconds from six first-up attempts and rarely lets punters down fresh.
She landed good bets when saluting fresh in April before just missing in a Listed affair, and off a good trial in a decent heat, looks set to run well again.
Flemington Roughie Tip
Flemington Roughie - Race 9 No. 11 Sweethearted
Champions Day rounds out with Sweethearted, who looks a solid each-way chance second-up.
He resumed at Caulfield on Guineas Day and was unsuited there, settling back and wide before looming into it late when condition gave out.
Still lightly raced with only eight starts, Sweethearted showed promise with back-to-back wins last summer and had little go his way in autumn.
That prep included a Flemington run where he produced the fastest last 400m of the meeting, and those autumn form lines read well for this level.
Morphettville Roughie Tip
Morphettville Roughie - Race 9 No. 2 Howl
He’s never been the easiest catch, but Howl is a very capable sprinter when right and has competed in much stronger company.
The gelding looked sharp via an October 30 jump-out ahead of his stable debut for Tracy Cox, who knows him well from the Jolly yard.
He showed that turn-of-foot last autumn when running fifth fresh, and we only go back to last spring for a win in this benchmark with 3kg more.
Howl could easily chime in here at long odds if he brings that same finishing burst.
Rosehill Roughie Tip
Rosehill Roughie - Race 7 No. 4 Pounce
Pounce is on Australian debut and has worked nicely in her two Sydney trials leading in.
She drew wide in the Five Diamonds Prelude on October 25 and was scratched from that engagement, which looks a deliberate call to save her for this.
If she wasn’t ready, Pounce could’ve easily been sent around there for a hit-out, so the fact she wasn’t suggests the stable didn't want to waste the fresh run.
Straight to 1400m looks suitable, and with the favourites potentially vulnerable, she’s an each-way quote in this fresh assignment,
