1st: 2, 1, 3, 8

2nd: 2, 1, 3, 8

Shanwah: Shanwah has consistently finished in the placings over the past three races. Last time out, Shanwah competed over 1800m, placing 1st at Caulfield.

Red Aces: Red Aces has the ability to run into the placings, ideal for exotic bets. Couldn’t break into the top four last start but ran better than the result suggests. Loves this track at Moonee Valley - unbeaten here and looking to keep it that way.

Opening Address: You might regret leaving Opening Address out of your exotic bets this Saturday. Came in beyond the top four last start, but still showing signs of promise.

Emphasize: Emphasize looks promising in this race on Saturday. A true master over 2040m - hasn't been beaten yet and unlikely to start now.

Broadsiding: Those betting on exotics should not overlook Broadsiding. Last race saw a fighting second-place finish, looking to go one better. Broadsiding ran at Randwick on 08/03/2025, finishing 2nd in a 1600m event. Jockey James McDonald was aboard, carrying 56.5kg. Track was rated good. Track stats: 2-0-1, with a win rate of 66.7% and place rate of 100%.

Swiftfalcon: Swiftfalcon could be the dark horse that completes a strong exotic play. Kept up the fight to finish third last start, showing resilience. Last outing, Swiftfalcon took on a 1600m race at Randwick and finished 3rd. Carried 56.5kg, started at $5.00, and handled a good surface.

Goldrush Guru: If you’re looking for value, include Goldrush Guru. Last race resulted in a third-place finish, keeping in touch with the leaders. Last time out, Goldrush Guru competed over 1600m, placing 3rd at Flemington.

Aeliana: Aeliana might not be the favourite, but it could be a game-changer in exotics. She ran a solid fourth last race, giving an honest performance. On 08/03/2025, Aeliana lined up at Randwick, finishing 4th over 1600m. Backed at $6.00, jumped from barrier 2, and carried 54.5kg under Jason Collett. Track record isn’t inspiring, but anything can happen at Rosehill on Saturday.

Machine Gun Gracie: Watch out for Machine Gun Gracie - a great choice for exotics at Ascot. Machine Gun Gracie has placed in three straight races, showcasing consistency and form.

Glasgow Lass: Glasgow Lass has the credentials to be a factor. Won convincingly in its most recent outing. Glasgow Lass raced at Ascot last start, covering 1800m and finishing 1st. Handles good ground well and has the form to back it up, winning 2 times from 4 starts.

Twilight Tale: If you’re playing wide exotics, Twilight Tale deserves a spot. With three straight placings, Twilight Tale continues to show its reliability and skill. Twilight Tale raced recently, placing 3rd in a 1800m event at Ascot. Track form stacks up - could add another win here at Ascot.

Flower Of Gold: Those playing exotics might get rewarded by including Flower Of Gold. A solid fourth-place finish in the previous race, keeping up with the pack.
