Caulfield Heath Race 3

Sportsbet Get On Extra Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $55,000

VALAROSO (9) resumes having run a good race on debut in The Showdown at Caulfield, a $1 million race behind Big Wigs where they set up a strong speed. Better for that and has won a trial leading in, he should take plenty of beating. INNER GOLD (3) was okay fresh in a strong maiden behind Somethings Burnin' who was well backed on Saturday. Fitter now and should be an improver. Wary of CAB FRANC (1) who is a colt by Frankel for the Maher yard. Out of a G1 winner from New Zealand and has jumped out well enough. LOMU (4) just found one better first up at Mornington in a good effort and showed ability last time in. Up in trip suits better and will take holding out. SOUND SYSTEM (8) can run well fresh.

Three-year-old colt by leading sire Frankel out of Loire. He has eight recent trials leading in today's debut. Was runner-up in a jump-out at Cranbourne on August 31. Wary, should run well.

Resumes racing after a long spell. Only one run when 5th of 12 in a The Showdown at Caulfield on March 14 over 1200m, 7 len behind Big Wigs with 58kg at $26. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Suited this level, rates well.
