Caulfield Race 1 - A Caulfield Kind Of Summer (Bm100)

Tough between the top two but TAKEN (5) gets the nod. He missed the placings for the first time in his career last start but it was in the $1 million Supernova and he was in the market there and has had a soft trial since. Up to 1700m should suit nicely now and this is much easier while also dropping in weight. MERRIGOLD (6) is the clear danger. She stepped up to 1600m for the first time last week at Flemington and relished it, putting up a career peak with a strong two-length win. Now to 1700m but she stays down in the weights and a repeat goes close. VERDAD (3) doesn't win out of turn but was good in the Coastal Classic at Geelong last time when going down narrowly. He should be right there. MILFORD (4) was okay fresh with room to improve and gets fourth spot ahead of TARAMANSOUR (1) who is a query back in trip off his dominant Pakenham Cup win.

At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Geelong Coastal Classic on January 3 over 1700m, head behind Precious Charm carrying 54.5kg at $6.50. The start before that sat behind the speed prior to fading second last of 8 at Cranbourne Bm100 on December 27 over 2025m, 5.5 len behind Saint George carrying 53.5kg at $5.50. Should be right there again.

Recent form sound. At the latest run won by 2 len at Flemington Vg Reef January 17 over 1600m defeating Make It Sweet carrying 54kg at $10. The run before that came from midfield; 3rd of 12 at Geelong F&M Bm74 on January 3 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Davida carrying 58.5kg at $8. No reason she cannot get the job done again.
