Horse Racing Tips for the Hill Stakes & The Nivison 2024

Luke Hovhanesian found the winner of the Epsom Handicap last week with Ceolwulf getting the cash dominantly.

Joined by Mick Gannon again, the boys turn their attention to Rosehill to steer you into some winners.

Get the inside scoop on their top selections now and make sure you're fully prepared with this comprehensive form guide for the upcoming features.

 

Race 6 - Tapp Craig Stakes (1400m) - Luke Hovhanesian

There are set to be fireworks up front in this race and it shapes up perfectly for More Territories ($6.50) to storm home over the top.

He has been solid in his two runs into this preparation with the race tempo well against him.

He draws soft to land in the running line and with Kerrin McEvoy in the saddle, he looks primed to strike with only 53kg on his back.

 

 

Race 7 - Hill Stakes (1900m) - Mick Gannon

The two standout contenders here both come out of the Group 1 Epsom and seem to have this race between them.

Kovalica ($6.00) endured some bad luck in the Epsom being chopped out at a vital moment, but with a clear run, could have finished much closer.

He’s well-positioned to map for a softer run in transit this time, but he’ll need some luck rounding the turn to make his move.

On the other hand, Royal Patronage ($3.50) was strong on speed in the Epsom, and the step up to 1900m should be right up his alley.

He’ll likely settle near the front, making his own luck by controlling the pace.

I’m happy to back both for a good result, with Kovalica needing that little bit of fortune in running, while Royal Patronage will be dictating terms up front.

 

Race 8 - Alan Brown Stakes (1400m) - Luke Hovhanesian

Encap ($10.00) was brilliant when winning the Theo Marks second up and there is no reason why he can't go on with it, now as a more fit and mature horse.

He stays down low in the weights and gets Kerrin McEvoy from a low barrier.

He will land ahead of midfield and just needs to find the breaks as they turn for home to be in the finish at a more than generous quote.

 

 

Race 9 - The Nivison (1200m) - Mick Gannon

Olentia ($2.90) looks primed for a strong first-up performance after a stellar campaign last prep, highlighted by her impressive victory in the Group 2 Emancipation Stakes.

She arrives here fresh off one trial and brings a strong record at this set-up with 4 starts, 3 wins, and a place.

From barrier 3 with Tommy Berry aboard, look for her to settle midfield with cover and unleash a powerful finish to prove too strong for her rivals late.

I’ve rated her at $2.60, making the current $3.00 on offer a solid bet!
