GOING: G(4)

Sportsbet Caulfield Guineas Prelude 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 6m Entire Circuit.  

Pace genuine with Wanaruah booting up on the fence to hold the lead. Plenty of chances. They'll do well to turn the tables on ANGEL CAPITAL (2) from the Mckenzie. He was back in the field, came widest and rounded them all up. Should appreciate 1400m off that and looks hard to beat again. BOSUSTOW (4) had the right run and tried hard when second to Angel Capital fresh. He did beat that horse home in the JJ Atkins when third to Broadsiding. WANARUAH (5) brings the Autumn Glow form down from Sydney. That stood up in Melbourne last week and he maps to lead, just as the stablemate did last week. Very wary. EPIMELES (3) was lucky not to fall let alone win in the Mckenzie. The wide draw probably suits and 1400m will definitely see improvement. SERGEANT MAJOR (12) hit the line sweetly fresh and any rise in trip suits. SUGGESTED PLAY: Angel Capital on top.
