Genuine tempo with Al Duca leading the way. We kick off a triple Group 1 day at Caulfield with a tough BM80. MR VERSE (2) was an eye-catching winner two back over a mile which saw him start $5.50 to beat Gilded Water here out to 2000m last time, boxing on fairly. Back slightly in trip looks perfect, he can bounce back. Not knocking BLINDEDBYTHELIGHT (13) who has won both starts this time in, beating a subsequent winner at Sandown Hillside last time. She's got plenty of upside and can measure up. AL DUCA (1) is flying, just out sprinted last time off two solid wins prior. He and NATION'S CALL (7) have each way claims as does OVERACTIVE (10). SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Verse on top.
