Sunday 8/2/09 sees me at Caulfield for C.F.Orr stakes day and will be a cracker of a meeting.

The day opens with a race for 3 yo fillies and my choice is UPSTREAM (2 so).
HANDSUPFORDETROIT (1x1)) in race 2 should be unbeaten and is from an astute Sydney yard, excellent chance. ROSTOVA (2so) appears to be a class act and should win the 3rd .The 4th, the colts prelude sees the return of STARSPANGLEDBANNER (2so). He won a recent trial very impressively and is my pick here.WESTERN COUP (1x1) is a powerfully built fella who gives the impression that 1800 of the 5th will suit. The Sydney horse ROYAL ESPIRIT (1x1) should be running over the top of the in the 6th. In the Orr stakes I like VON COSTA de LAGO (2x3) who put in a extremely good run 1st up. In the 8th, WITH APOLOGIES (2so) has the form on board to win again. I am expecting EL MANDON (2so) to land the bacon in the last.

Total outlay 21 units
