Caulfield Race 1 - Hkjc World Pool Hcp
Sticking with PONDALOWIE (3) who just got into an awful spot first up in the WJ Adams, back and trapped inside runners over 1000m as favourite. She's far better suited getting to 1100m where she boasts a win over She's Bulletproof and a close second to Niance. MRS CHRISSIE (2) also comes through the WJ Adams when a bit disappointing but had been racing well prior and is better placed here. SAMANGU (5) had her winning streak come to an end last time but she's still progressive and can run well. MISS ARIA (1) ran some slick sectionals first up in the G2 Rubiton Stakes but may find them a bit too sharp again from the wide gate here.

Second-up. First-up after three months from last on the turn 5th of 7 at this track in the G2 Rubiton on February 8 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Rey Magnerio carrying 55kg at $13.

Previous preparation first-up won by 2 len Echuca Bm58 June 13 over 1000m slow track defeating The Carillo carrying 57.5kg at $5.50. Would need to go to another level.
