Rosehill Race 3 Tips – 2011 Queen of the Turf Stakes Results Prediction

1^st: #1 More Joyous – Rated Special To Win – Bet now at Luxbet

2^nd: #2 Melito – Deserved $6 second favourite at Luxbet

3^rd: #3 Set For Fame – $21 outsider adds value to Trifecta at Luxbet

The best Queen of the Stakes tip is to lock in More Joyous and Melito into the Exacta.

Fellow Group 1 winning mare Meltio was gallant in defeat last start finishing third in the Coolmore Classic carting a hefty 59kg.

She was beaten by Aloha (contesting the Group 1 George Ryder Stakes on Saturday) and Jersey Lily who had just 52.5kg on her back.

This time Melito drops back 2kg and Jersey Lily rises 4.5kg as they meet equally in the weights with 57kg.

Peter Moody’s Set For Fame is not fancied in the market sitting at $21 through Luxbet, but this is great for punters and their Place bets.

Set For Fame was less than a length away third in a Listed feature at Flemington last start when drawn out in barrier 14 of 14, she comes into a smaller field with gate six on Saturday which is enough to see her improve and finish in the money.
