Caulfield Race 5 - Sportsbet Angus Armanasco Stakes (G2)
TOO DARN LIZZIE (2) sets up well fresh. She won the G2 Thousand Guineas Prelude over this route in the Spring, albeit with conditions to suit, and was good again in the Guineas itself when third. Two Sydney trials should have her forward for this. BENAGIL (5) didn't have much luck throughout last campaign, some through her own doing. She looked stiff in the Thousand Guineas and while likely to get back, she has talent and can win. TREASURETHE MOMENT (1) is the VRC Oaks winner resuming. She won four in a row last time in and does have the zip to figure at 1400m if she's wound up enough. PERFECT PICTURE (8) has upside and can figure.
