Caulfield Heath (VIC) – Good 4
R1 – 1500m Sportsbet Blackbook Plate (12:50)
A competitive maiden with a few key chances emerging from the same form lines. Ertijaaj has strong market support ahead of her Australian debut and showed ability at Haydock, while Dame Florence has been ultra consistent and maps to control the race on speed. North Dakota hit the line well in that same race and will be charging late, and Pari Moi gives herself every chance rolling forward.
Selections:
3. Ertijaaj ($2.90)
6. Dame Florence ($2.80)
2. North Dakota ($3.80)
4. Pari Moi ($6.50)
R2 – 1500m Ive > Hcp (13:25)
Looks a race dominated by a handful of chances. Flowerdale gets gear changes and can rebound after excuses last start, while Cardi Bee has been competitive and just needs luck from the wide draw. Ornos hasn’t fired this prep but has figures to win, especially suited to this track, and Rock Them Jools can improve sharply with adjustments.
Selections:
7. Flowerdale ($4.40)
8. Cardi Bee ($4.60)
10. Ornos ($5.50)
5. Rock Them Jools ($10.00)
R3 – 1000m Sportsbet Fast Form Hcp (14:00)
Tricky 2YO race but a clear standout on exposed form. Morning Whisper trialled sharply and looks primed to peak first-up. Free Flying should get all favours from the draw, while Crank brings winning form but rises in grade. Obambulate has shown enough at the jump-outs to be respected on debut.
Selections:
8. Morning Whisper ($2.60)
2. Free Flying ($4.00)
- Crank ($5.00)
- Obambulate ($6.00)
R4 – 1800m BM66 Handicap (14:35)
Even race with multiple winning hopes. Autumn Slide has been building nicely and looks ready to peak at this trip. Aura is in strong form and can figure again, while Pula continues to race consistently on speed. On Broadway comes off a win and can measure up again.
Selections:
2. Autumn Slide ($4.60)
10. Aura ($3.40)
8. Pula ($4.00)
3. On Broadway ($7.00)
R5 – 1800m BM70 Handicap (15:10)
Plenty of depth here with a mix of progressive types. Brave Danza drops in grade and can bounce back sharply. Winter Nights is hitting the line well and looks suited stepping up, while There Were Roses brings strong last-start form. Kalmana has the class to improve back in grade.
Selections:
- Brave Danza ($9.00)
- Winter Nights ($16.00)
- There Were Roses ($4.00)
- Kalmana ($7.50)
R6 – 1000m BM74 Fillies & Mares (15:45)
Looks a race centred around one key runner. Tres Magnifique is unbeaten this prep and clearly the one to beat. Tiz Worthy can improve back in town, while Sun Setting has trialled well ahead of return. Amping Lass adds value after a solid effort at odds.
Selections:
9. Tres Magnifique ($1.75)
12. Tiz Worthy ($15.00)
5. Sun Setting ($9.50)
15. Amping Lass ($13.00)
R7 – 1000m BM70 Handicap (16:20)
Very even sprint with several chances. Aleppo Pine has trialled well and can bounce back, while Magnabelle Royale continues to race consistently despite a wide draw. In Haste has ability fresh, and Aqueduct is chasing a hat-trick and maps well.

10. Magnabelle Royale ($5.00)
8. In Haste ($6.50)
2. Aqueduct ($10.00)
R8 – 1200m BM64 Handicap (16:55)
Strong closing race with multiple winning chances. High On The Hill returns in good order and has trialled well, while Invincible Woman continues to race honestly and is due. Cattle Camp was impressive on debut and can go on with it, and Milos Filos looks well placed stepping up.
