The barrier draw for Saturday’s Group One Rosehill Guineas has delivered mixed results for the two leading fancies.
Randwick Guineas winner It’s A Dundeel has drawn gate three while Victoria Derby winner Fiveandahalfstar, runner-up in the Australian Cup and Ranvet Stakes at his past two starts, has drawn barrier nine.
Victorian Hvasstan came up with barrier eight while trainer John O’Shea’s two runners, Kingdoms and Twisted Emotions, will jump from barriers one and two respectively.
A field of nine has paid up to contest the Guineas, the middle leg of Sydney’s three-year-old triple crown which also comprises the Randwick Guineas and Australian Derby.
Trainer Anthony Cummings, however, will wait until Saturday morning before deciding if Fiveandahalfstar backs up after his Ranvet Stakes placing last Saturday.
