Without further ado, here is a look into who I will be betting on for the 2023 Rosehill Guineas at Rosehill Racecourse. As is normal at OnlyRacing, I will provide tips for my best bet, next best, and roughie pick of the day. If you want to see a full set of tips, including exotics and multis, please visit our OnlyRacing Tips page for insights from one of our other experts.

Pericles - BEST BET
What a performance that Pericles put in at Sandown Lakeside Racecourse just a few weeks ago. In that race, Pericles beat out 12 stiff competitors to claim the second victory of his young career that added to what is now a career winnings total of $400,000 AUD.

The expert trainer in James Cummings has been working with Pericles out of Warwick Farm in preparation for the 2023 Rosehill Guineas. Going into the race as a $2.25 favourite according to PlayUp, it will be hard to see someone beating Pericles with James McDonald on the reins.

Lindermann - NEXT BEST

If there is anyone that can beat Pericles in this 2023 Rosehill Guineas, it will most likely be the Chris Waller trained Lindermann. It must be factored in that Lindermann will be racing the 2023 Rosehill Guineas on home turf at Rosehill Racecourse this Saturday the 18th of March 2023.

With a career 2-4-0 record over 10 career races and career prize money of $400,000 AUD, I expect Nash Rawiller to put on a show in the 2023 Rosehill Guineas and we may very well see Lindermann claim victory and a prize of over $300,000.

Williamsburg - ROUGHIE PICK

Williamsburg was my roughie pick at the 2023 Randwick Guineas just weeks ago and I am going with him again for the 2023 Rosehill Guineas. I am still highly impressed with this colt and believe that Gerald Ryan and Sterling Alexiou have created a winner.

At $13.00 odds according to PlayUp, I see Williamsburg as an outside shot to take home the 2023 Rosehill Guineas. However, I will be placing my money on Williamsburg to place in the 2023 Rosehill Guineas. Hopefully these tips will aid you in deciding who to punt on for the 2023 Rosehill Guineas at Rosehill Racecourse.
