Caulfield Race 2 - Stow Storage Gothic Stakes (L)
RESERVE BANK (6) has to go on top here owing to the fact he beat a handful of key rivals home in the Danehill at Flemington, only finding stablemate First Settler narrowly too strong. Don't think 1200m will pull him up and he gets the nod. LOFTY ARCH (8) was a good maiden winner on debut and gave a sight in the Danehill at just his second start when backed at odds. Better for that, he can cross up and take catching. TARPAULIN (4) was sound in the Danehill when fourth and must have claims. STOLI BOLLI (5) won in very fast time at Moonee Valley last start and will have fans with those watching the clock. BITTERCREEK (1) was okay in the Danehill and any rise in trip will help him.

At the latest run 4th of 10 at Flemington in the G2 Danehill on October 5 over 1100m, slow going 1.0 len behind First Settler carrying 57kg at $6. The start before that sat on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 7 at Rosehill in the LR Rosebud on August 17 over 1100m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Gatsby's carrying 55kg at $3. Hard to fault if at his best.
