Verdict

We kick off Caulfield Cup day with a tricky 3yo race. Going for the less exposed form with SULEK (9) coming off a smart maiden win at Sandown Hillside last time out. He showed a sharp turn of foot there to put the race away and should get a good run midfield here. Can measure up. It's hard to knock what BACASH (5) is doing. He tried hard at Moonee Valley two back behind the spruik horse Rosberg, giving another huge sight at Sandown Hillside last time when just caught by Navy Pilot, who was well backed and ran a credible race in last week's G1 Caulfield Guineas. He'll land on speed and go close once more. CALL DA VINCI (4) resumes. He really flourished in Queensland over the Winter, third to Cool Archie in the G2 BRC Sires & G1 JJ Atkins. Have to respect that. KALEO (2) resumes. His win here at start two was good and he can be excused in Queensland on the heavy track. No surprise to see a good run. WISE INLAW (6) is going well and should be right there again.

Dual acceptor. Having second run back today. Last outing sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 7 at Bendigo 3yo Bm64 on October 5 over 1100m, 0.5 len behind Street Artist carrying 59.5kg at $21.

At the latest run raced on the speed throughout before fading second last of 9 at Moonee Valley in the G2 Stutt Stk on September 26 over 1600m, 6 len behind West Of Swindon with 57kg at $31. The run before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Geelong Mdn-Sw September 12 over 1425m on a rain affected track defeating Savisanta with 57kg at $4.40. Would need to improve further.
