Caulfield Race 5

Sportsbet Caulfield Guineas Prelude (G3)

Prize Money: $300,000

Quite a few of these come through the Mckenzie Stakes won by Rosberg. Of those, we're leaning to PLANET RED (6) who finished fourth, beaten two lengths. He got back and hit the line strongly over the concluding stages, giving every indication he'll relish this trip. He can land closer from the good draw now and take beating. STAY COSMIC (5) finished second there, getting the inside run through the field and hitting the line nicely. He's another suited to this trip and a genuine chance. Not sure what to do with SPACE RIDER (3) who was disappointing there after a good win fresh. The market didn't like him in the Mckenzie and he was the first one beaten, but this trip could suit better. ESTREMO (7) was okay in fifth there but had been behind SPACE RIDER prior. BINGI (4) won well last time and will be on speed.

Third-up today. First-up won by 0.8 len at Moonee Valley 3yo C&G-Swp August 23 over 1200m defeating Wise Inlaw carrying 56kg at $8.50. Second-up second last of 8 at Moonee Valley in the LR Mckenzie on September 6 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Rosberg with 57kg at $4.80. Poor last time but up in trip should suit.

At the latest run raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.5 len at Moonee Valley 3yo Hcp August 23 over 1523m on a rain affected track defeating Crossbow with 57kg at $21. Before that 3rd in a small field at Sandown-Lakeside Bm64 on August 13 over 1200m, slow going 1.5 len behind Planet Red carrying 59.5kg at $7.50. This is harder but he'll be on speed.

Second-up. First-up after four months came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 8 at Moonee Valley in the LR Mckenzie on September 6 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Rosberg with 56kg at $20. Previously second-up 2nd of 7 at Sandown-Lakeside 2yo Hcp on April 9 over 1300m, nose behind Warrior Smile carrying 59kg at $2.70. This trip suits, very hard to hold out.
