CAULFIELD HEATH   29 Apr 2026
 
GOING: G(4)

Tile Importer Handicap 1000m

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

Good pace with Mainmankash, Magnabelle Royale and Just Bolts matching motors. IN HASTE (8) resumes, coming over from New Zealand having last been seen running a narrow second in G3 company. She looks to have settled in very well, winning a recent trial here by 1.5 lengths. Off a decent spell but she draws well and should be kept very safe. LANDMARK (3) resumes. He's always promised good ability, winning before a break at Caulfield in a 3yo handicap. Zahra booked is a good lead but not sure where he'll get to from the wide draw. MAGNABELLE ROYALE (10) is a progressive filly who tasted defeat for the first time at Sandown Lakeside last time behind Tres Magnifique, who we're expecting to frank the form one race earlier. She'll be right there on speed and hard to run down. MAINMANKASH (9) backed up the easy Bairnsdale win with another speedy victory at Sale. Harder now but he's flying and can give a sight. ALONG THE RIVER (4) is racing so consistently and barrier one probably helps him to get a late split . SUGGESTED PLAY: In Haste on top.
