CAULFIELD HEATH   17 Apr 2024
 
GOING: G

Stow Storage Solutions Handicap 1600m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

The Creator can look to push on and take up the running. THE CREATOR (3) has always promised a bit and showed he may be ready to deliver on it with a comfortable win second-up, winning by 2.3 lengths at Pakenham over 1600m. Bit more depth here but he should roll forward and take catching again. AZTEC STATE (6) was just fair first up in a 3yo Bm70 at Sandown-Lakeside but is better suited to this trip and showed plenty of promise last time in. Looks a strong chance. HEAVENLY EAGLE (8) won well last start at Yarra Valley and can improve again fitness-wise. Can figure at odds. GWAN SO (1) is going well and will find this a touch easier than recent runs. HIGH FIVE (10) won easily first up and can figure. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Creator on top.
