CAULFIELD HEATH   17 Jun 2026
 
GOING: S(6)

Stow Storage Solutions Handicap 1500m

Track: Soft 6     Rail: Out 5m Entire Circuit.  

Beautifully and Till Queen are both expected to press forward and take it up. BALTIC BLIZZARD (4) looks a progressive horse who resumed with a dominant maiden win at Ballarat, backed into $1.55 and charging away to score by 3.5 lengths. Quickly up in grade to a BM70 here which won't be easy but she looks able to go on with it. TILL QUEEN (1) has won two on the bounce, too strong at Bendigo in a BM62 last time with a gap to third. She can complete the hattrick. BEAUTIFULLY (2) has struggled a bit on heavy ground her past couple but is better than that and will be hard to catch up on speed. LOFT VEGA (6) looked smart winning her maiden on wet ground at Pakenham and can measure up with Neindorf sticking. ZUPPA INGLESE (3) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Baltic Blizzard to win.
