contender Mamaragan has lost some lustre in the eyes of punters but not his trainer John Thompson.

The colt has been beaten in two campaign runs, resuming with a distant third to in the San Domenico Stakes over 1100m and following with a sixth to over slightly further in The .

Both races contained runaway leaders with Anders showing sustained speed to while went hard and tired behind Rothfire.

Thompson says Mamaragan’s efforts have been better than they appear and the three-year-old is looking for the extra distance of Saturday’s Group One Golden Rose.

“The colt, he’s a good horse. He just needs a race run to suit,” Thompson said.

“Both times this campaign he has just been run off his legs.

“He is looking for further and he will appreciate the 1400 metres.”

With the withdrawal of Farnan from the Golden Rose last week, Rothfire is a clear-cut $2.20 favourite while Mamaragan has drifted to $15.

Thompson will also have in the Group Two (1400m) at Rosehill and the trainer has been surprised by how well the mare has bounced back from her arduous first up run.

“She is glowing and bouncing around. She is a tough, seasoned mare I guess.”

There are six stakes races at Rosehill on Saturday with the Golden Rose the highlight.
