CAULFIELD HEATH   28 Nov 2024
 
GOING: S(7)

Tobin Brothers Celebrating Lives Handicap 1000m

Track: Soft 7     Rail: Out 2m Entire Circuit.  

Strong tempo from the outset as a number of them push forward, with Shamrock Bay, Room For Bingo and Kaygeebee leading the charge. SIOUX SPIRIT (4) was beaten at $1.85 odds first up at Mornington in a BM58 but this isn't much harder and she should strip much fitter. She's had just four starts to date and been a hot favourite in three, profiling as a mare that is up to, and better than this sort of level. She's a much bigger price now and one worthy of taking. STOKKE (8) resumes. She showed good ability in her maiden campaign, winning easily on debut. The second to Pharari at Ballarat, albeit well beaten, is excellent form for this. MISS TORONADO (14) resumes. She beat subsequent G2 winner Evaporate on debut at Ballarat Synthetic and has plenty of natural speed. Should take catching. TAPO (5) has been around the mark of late and rates an each-way chance. SANTASIA (12) drops slightly in class and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sioux Spirit to win.
