SuperCoach Racing starts this weekend.
The focus of Round 1 is the Group 1 Golden Rose at Rosehill on Saturday and the Group 1 Underwood Stakes at Caulfield on Sunday.
Those two races should be your starting points because Group 1s earn you more points.
Your stable of 10 horses must fit inside a $2 million salary cap (you can select a jockey for free).
With premium horses priced $400,000 to $500,000, there’s room for only one of them each week if your team is to be competitive.
CHRIS VERNUCCIO reveals how his team is shaping up for Round 1 and he’s loading up on the cheaper three-year-olds.

HOMESMAN (captain) | $400,000 | G1 UNDERWOOD STAKES | CAULFIELD
Soft win first-up in the Feehan Stakes and aiming for back-to-back wins in the Group 1 Underwood Stakes. The Cox Plate is his main target.
BIVOUAC | $300,000 | G1 GOLDEN ROSE | ROSEHILL
Favourite for the Group 1 Golden Rose. Smashed the clock to win the Run To The Rose and the small field this Saturday will give him every chance of running out 1400m.
EXCEEDANCE | $225,000 | G1 GOLDEN ROSE | ROSEHILL
Defeated by Bivouac after beating the Godolphin colt the start before. He’ll relish the step up to 1400m and any give in the track will be a bonus.
DALASAN | $175,000 | G3 GUINEAS PRELUDE | CAULFIELD
The South Australian colt looked lost down the Flemington straight, but his class carried him over the line. He wants 1400m now.
MIZZY | $250,000 | G2 GOLDEN PENDANT | ROSEHILL
Began her spring campaign with back-to-back wins at 1200m. Makes her own luck on the speed.
FLIT | $150,000 | G2 THOUSAND GUINEAS PRELUDE | CAULFIELD
Dynamic first-up performance by Libertini and the Sydney form is superior to the Melbourne form.
JUST THINKIN’ | $150,000 | G3 GLOAMING STAKES | ROSEHILL
Will be chasing a hat-trick of wins in the Group 3 Gloaming Stakes, where he’ll start favourite. Has to be included at his price.
KUBRICK | $150,000 | G1 GOLDEN ROSE | ROSEHILL
Another contender for the Golden Rose. He’s a great price and will bank points. Will be even better at 1600m.
SHADOW HERO | $100,000 | G3 GLOAMING STAKES | ROSEHILL
Finished powerfully behind Just Thinkin’ against the track pattern after drawing wide. Bargain price.
YAO DASH | $50,000 | G1 GOLDEN ROSE | ROSEHILL
Need a cheapie in the stable and he’s guaranteed to score points in the Golden Rose. He beat Funstar, who won the Group 2 Tea Rose Stakes, last Saturday.
JOCKEY: TOMMY BERRY
Leads the Sydney metro standings. Will ride one of the main chances in the Golden Rose.
NOTE: Round 1 team could change after final fields are declared.
