CAULFIELD HEATH   17 Jun 2026
 
GOING: S(6)

Hyland Race Colours Handicap 1000m

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

Strong pace from Call To Glory kicking up with Tennessee Bound close by. Looking forward to seeing TENNESSEE BOUND (8) return. She took all before her in three runs to start her career, putting up two dominant wins to start her career, winning comfortably again here before a break at $1.20. 1000m might be the little niggle but she's very progressive and can go on to better things this time in. ALONG THE RIVER (1) looks a big price. He's flying over the 1000m, too strong over this route under 62.5kg last time in a similar race. Getting right up in the weights but he's fairly bombproof and should run another good race. CALL TO GLORY (2) presents third up and looks to get a nice run having stuck on for fourth to Along The River last time. He'll kick up and give a sight. KILLIANA (11) was sent out a $4 chance in the same race and was a touch disappointing but can improve. BINE (9) was 2nd there and got home well, look for her late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Along The River each-way.
