Team of ‘gentlemen’ jostling to come up Roses

Trainer Chris Waller will enter five three-year-old colts into Saturday's Group 1 Golden Rose at Rosehill. His runners include Campione D'italia, Tron Bolt, St Gotthard, Stormy Marco, and Central Europe. Waller credited his stable staff and the practice of housing colts separately from fillies and mares for keeping the horses focused and stress-free ahead of the race.

St Gotthard is the market pick among Waller's squad at $4, with jockey James McDonald retaining the ride. Stormy Marco enters following a second-place finish in the Ming Dynasty Quality, while Waller seeks his fifth career victory in the Golden Rose following Beiwacht's win 12 months earlier.
