Caulfield Race 1

Sen (Bm80)

Prize Money: $150,000

We kick off a triple Group 1 day at Caulfield with a tough BM80. MR VERSE (2) was an eye-catching winner two back over a mile which saw him start $5.50 to beat Gilded Water here out to 2000m last time, boxing on fairly. Back slightly in trip looks perfect, he can bounce back. Not knocking BLINDEDBYTHELIGHT (13) who has won both starts this time in, beating a subsequent winner at Sandown Hillside last time. She's got plenty of upside and can measure up. AL DUCA (1) is flying, just out sprinted last time off two solid wins prior. He and NATION'S CALL (7) have each way claims as does OVERACTIVE (10).

Dual acceptor. At the latest run won by 0.5 len at Geelong Bm62 October 2 over 1765m in soft going defeating Storm Ahead carrying 57kg at $5.50. The race before that came from midfield and scored a big 4.5 len win at Donald Mdn-Sw September 13 over 1620m defeating Emperor Tzu with 57.5kg at $2.90. On the up, hard to dismiss.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 3rd of 10 at Geelong Bm62 on October 2 over 1765m, on a slow track; 1.3 len behind Oraqua carrying 60kg at $2.25. The race before that 2nd of 11 at Sale Bm62 on September 14 over 1728m, 1.3 len behind Zambardo carrying 60kg at $3.20. Going the right way and sets up nicely here.
