Roman Consul Stakes: Ozzmosis, Celestial Legend to clash again
The Group 2 Roman Consul Stakes (1200m) for the three-year-olds has drawn a small but quality field of eight this Saturday at Rosehill Gardens.
After a dominant win in the Listed Heritage Stakes (1100m) on September 23, Ozzmosis has earned clear favouritism at +160 with most online betting sites.
Celestial Legend, who was a strong runner-up to Ozzmosis in the Heritage, is next at +320 and is already seeing early support.
The Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained Royal Tribute (+500) started as an equal favourite in the Heritage Stakes and was a shade disappointing after his first-up victory at Hawkesbury on September 7.
For Godolphin, Barber (+500) closed off strongly in the Heritage Stakes and will improve second-up, while Balkans (+1500) makes a big step up in grade from a Warwick Farm victory on September 20.
The Peter & Paul Snowden barn has sent King’s Gambit (+500) back to Sydney after running third in the Listed Poseidon Stakes (1100m) at Flemington, and the same can be said for Mexico (+2500) running into fourth place in the same race.
The winner of the 2023 Roman Consul Stakes will get a major share of the $300,000 in prizemoney and will also state their case for the final slot in The Everest (1200m) on October 14.
