CAULFIELD HEATH   29 Apr 2026
 
GOING: G(4)

Thoroughbred Club of Australia Handicap 1800m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: Out 3m Entire Circuit.  

Plenty of pace evident with Winston and Thorin leading the way from On Broadway and Inherently. AUTUMN SLIDE (2) looks set to peak third up. Two runs back have been good, getting home well for third in a very slowly run race at Caulfield last time out behind Terilee over 1600m where they walked in front. Now goes to 1800m third up, she draws to sit midfield and have last say. AURA (10) is racing in fine form, trying hard behind Bring Forth at a big price last time, with that horse heavily backed in a Bm100 on Saturday. This is easier and she gets in with 55kg after the claim. PULA (8) broke through for her second career win last time out at Pakenham, winning well in a Class 1. She's always had ability and can string a couple together now. INHERENTLY (6) is racing well without winning this time in and chased home Cripps in track record time on a lightning fast track las t start which reads well. ON BROADWAY (3) resumed with a tidy win at Cranbourne and could go on with it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Autumn Slide on top.
