Caulfield Heath (VIC) – Good 4
R1 – Sportsbet Race Previews Plate (1600m) – 15:40
Analysis
A race where the top two look to have an edge. ICARO continues to race well at metro level and wasn’t far off when favourite at Pakenham — strong chance again. JENNI BASSETT was close-up at Geelong and adds blinkers, making her a danger. WOLFOFFITROYSTREET has shown promise in two runs and also gains blinkers. MELEK debuts and shouldn’t be overlooked.

- 10. Jenni Bassett (9) — $3.80
- 8. Wolfoffitroystreet (1) — $2.20

R2 – Sportsbet Blackbook Handicap (1000m) – 16:15
Analysis
ESPANA impressed winning here last start and should only improve with that run under her belt. JOB DONE resumes and looks well suited dropping back into a city race.

R4 – Sportsbet Fast Form Handicap (1500m) – 17:25
Analysis
STORM SEASON resumed with a strong win at Kembla and looks ideally placed here. HOLA AMIGOS ran on nicely at Pakenham and should be competitive back in city grade. DIVINE THOUGHTS returned well at Donald and shapes as a major threat. SWIFT CIRCLE keeps trying and wasn’t far away at Kilmore.

R5 – Sportsbet Feed Handicap (1000m) – 18:00
Analysis
PICK 'N' MIX resumes and has the right profile to strike fresh — top selection. RUNLIKENENCRYPTION is another returning runner who trialled well and shouldn’t be underestimated.

R6 – Sportsbet Same Race Multi Handicap (1200m) – 18:30
Analysis
HUSTLE IN HEELS has returned in great order and looks well placed to score again. UNTAPPED didn’t win fresh but generally improves sharply second-up. MISS ALTAIR has a trial win under her belt and can make an impact. MASKED MARAUDER has early toe and could surprise at a price.

R7 – Sportsbet Get On Extra Handicap (1800m) – 19:00
Analysis
TOUCHDOWN has been ultra-reliable and boasts a strong winning strike-rate — clear top hope. FIORENOT continues to hold form and should be competitive again. TOO BIG draws wide but has enough speed to overcome it. SCINTILLANTE will strip fitter and can run into the finish.

R8 – Sportsbet Fixed Odds Exotics Handicap (1600m) – 19:30
Analysis
ON BROADWAY kept her strong form going with a win here and remains a top contender. PHAROAH’S GLORY chases a hat-trick and is racing with confidence. EMPIRE OF PAIN only just missed last start and can go one better. VIVACISSIMO continues to race well and must be respected.
