Quayside (Rosehill R3 No. 6) - one of my (Shayne O'Cass writing) pet 'systems' is to always back a horse first-up out of a Derby/Oaks or two mile Cup. Two reasons; one is that they are invariably good horses to be aimed and contested those style of races and secondly the residual fitness that they maintain is incredible. Quayside hasn't raced since finishing 5.1-lens off Kirramosa in the VRC Oaks at Flemington in November. Bear in mind re that residual fitness aspect is that we are only just out of January. Her only win so far was at this track and she's 2s 0-2-0 at the distance.
