CAULFIELD SATURDAY MAY 11, rail true, soft 6
RACE 1: STANLEY EXPRESS 1, Stormbourg 2, Sociable 3, Tropicus 4
RACE 2: HE'S BESET 1, Georgie Get Mad 2, Paperboy 3, Crackerjack Prince 4
RACE 3: ARQANA 1, Our Red Morning 2, Jenny Jerome 3, Fancify 4
RACE 4: ELPHINSTONE 1, Fistoffury 2, Knucklebones 3, Sure 4
RACE 5: LET'SBEFRANKBABY 1, Sing For Peace 2, Ferago 3, Taramansour 4
RACE 6: MOVEFORLEX 1, Dschingis Prestige 2, Albanian I Am 3, Quantam Cat 4
RACE 7: MISS ARIA 1, Bossy Nic 2, Floozie 3, Up To Mischief 4
Evenly graded group of fillies, load up Quaddie leg.
RACE 8: DEVOTED 1, Gentleman Roy 2, Bank Maur 3, Shock 'Em Ova 4
Devoted was luckless in the strong Discovery at Yarra Valley. She's a course and distance winner well up to this. Gentleman Roy is the class runner resuming from a break, Shock 'Em Ova is a talent suited on soft ground.
RACE 9: FRIGID 1, Papillon Club 2, Trosette 3, Furious 4
Clever use of the 3kg for Tatum Bull should see Frigid repeat her Mornington win in this grade.
RACE 10: LOUNGE BAR RUBI 1, Starlight Scope 2, Prancing Spirit 3, Bellinger 4
Lounge Bar Rubi is undefeated in two runs here at 1400m, kept fresh for this. Starlight Scope was brave on pace in the stronger Hareeba and will give a great sight, Prancing Spirit and Bellinger will be running on.
BEST BETS: Frigid, He's Beset. VALUE: Arqana.
