Hi All

My thoughts on Caulfield this Saturday..... good to see some nice horse flesh back on the park....

Race 1 (1100m Hcp)

• (2) Automation - ran nice time just to score last start in the slow, so handles it okay
• (6) Wildwood Road - very speedy youngster dropping back 100m and might be in favour
• (3) Line Account - Not seen since Blue Diamond when drawn out of it, going on debut here.
• (1) The Rhine - Talented and will improve with racing and is good first up

Race 2 (1100m Hcp) Talented field and keep following the place getters

• (4) Pinezero* - Getting better with racing and won recent trial leading.
• (3) Expensively - lead and won well last start and will take running down
• (2) Amarazetti - Didn't fire a shot in QLD, has loads of ability and if stays out of trouble (does get back) will give it a shake
• (1) Crevette - Won first up in only preparation and finished of nicely, experience will count in this

Race 3 (1100 m Hcp)

• (4) Maduro - SA visitor with great from only has to handle track to be in this
• (5) Judusk - Extra distance will suit and placed all 7 starts over this distance and love it wet
• (7) Beach Box - Goes very well fresh and loves track and has won over distance
• (2) Sure Bet - Very consistent miler, sprints well fresh and handle track and distance, but may take a run or two to get going

Race 4 (1400m Hcp)

• (7) Furaat - Didn't have any luck at all when climbing all over them
• (3) Northern Rose - Beaten by horse in better going, likes track and distance and conditions suit
• (2) Honest Pollitican - Doesn't know how to run a bad race, didn't have any luck last start and will be fitter
• (1) Astrodame - Classy and on better going would street these even with poor strike rate, but has run against much better horses than these

Race 5 (1400m Hcp)

• (2) Stratton Place* - Beaten by bias last start, everything in his favour AND OWES ME !
• (9) Final Express - Not a bad run in Monash and will be fitter and improve from barrier
• (6) Little Dozer - been racing in great style and track conditions suit

Race 6 (Bletchingly Stakes)

• (6) Wildly* - Wasn't far off last start and can turn the table on (1) Super Elegant
• (1) Super Elegant - What can you say.... bullet proof and keeps giving
• (8) Hollow Bullet - Won first up and loves track, distance and conditions no worry, classy and on Caulf Cup trail
• (9) Dilly Dally - v. unlucky not to beat (1) Super Elegant last start - totally honest horse

Race 7 (2000m Hcp)

• (1) Evil Master* - Some call him a non-winner, but i reckon eachway all day
• (11) Madison Lane - promising and building nice record, track, distance and conditions suit
• (2) Hong Kong Cheri - Racing well can't dismiss over this distance
• (3) Hunter Hermitage - Loves the heavy and has placed this distance

Race 8 (1100m Hcp)

• (5) Delicate Snip* - Great 1st up run and should lead these lot and be too good
• (7) Amber Shimmer - Speedy and if doesn't spend too much getting to front will test the (5)
• (1) Salsa - distance only worry here, but form is faultless
• (14) Courtney's Cuddles - light weight hope, has won at distance and conditions will suit

Best Bet
Race 5 #2 Stratton Place*
Race 6 #6 Wildly*
Race 8 #5 Delicate Snip*

Best Each Way
Race 1 #2 Automation*
Race 2 #4 Pinezero*
Race 3 #4 Maduro
Race 4 #7 Furaat
Race 7 #1 Evil Master *

Best Roughie
Race 4 #2 Honest Pollitican
Race 7 #11 Madison Lane

(* = Confidence.......... others just for fun)

Good luck
