Caulfield Race 1 - Catanach's Jewellers Redoute's Choice Stakes (L)
SCENIC POINT (6) started favourite and gave backers little cause for concern on debut at Pakenham on 20 March, letting down impressively at the end of 1100m to win with plenty up the sleeve. Only needs to show a little natural improvement to be winning again. ALEPPO PINE (1) has tackled better races in his two runs this prep and hasn't quite measured up, most recently in the Todman at Randwick when beaten 2.2 lengths by Tentyris. Bolted in on debut over this trip at Ballarat in December. Can bounce back. MEDNYI (2) is back home after contesting three races in NSW this prep, the pick of them a last start third over today's journey at the Kensington circuit. In contention with a repeat of that effort. FACILITATE (3) has showed some talent in his two runs to date and the addition of blinkers here might add a length or two. BOA VISTA (7) was disappointing on debut in the Group 3 Chairmans back on 1 February. Worth another chance - each-way claims.

Dual acceptor. Third-up today. Resuming did the work up front then tired 5th of 11 at this track in the G3 Bd/Prel Cg on February 8 over 1100m, 3.5 len behind Field Of Play carrying 57kg at $2.45. Second-up 7th of 10 at Randwick in the G2 Todman on March 8 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Tentyris carrying 55.5kg at $26. Major threat back in this company.

Going well. Most recently held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Randwick Kensington 2yo C&G Osc on March 26 over 1100m, 1.4 len behind Farnicle carrying 55kg at $6. The race before that won by 0.7 len at Newcastle Super 2yo Mdn-Sw March 1 over 900m defeating Missile Magnate carrying 55kg at $3.50. Likely to feature again.

Had two starts to date. At debut, 2nd of 8 at Moonee Valley 2yo Hcp on February 21 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Eternal Darkness carrying 57.5kg at $6. Second-up held ground to the line 2nd of 8 at Sandown-Hillside 2yo Hcp on March 26 over 1000m, nose behind No Limitation carrying 59kg at $2.45. Watching the market carefully with the blinkers on for the first time.

Resuming after a break; only one run when failed to make an impression; 8th of 11 at Flemington in the LR Inglis 2yo on November 9 over 1000m, 7 len behind Within The Law with 58kg at $5.50. Has been gelded - keen to see what the betting does.

Was at big odds at debut, got back early 7th of 10 at Bendigo 2yo Mdn on February 9 over 1000m, 6 len behind Ornos carrying 58kg at $41. Won't find this any easier so he is likely to struggle again.

Getting off the mark on debut; favourite; ran on from midfield and scored a big 3.5 len win at Pakenham 2yo Mdn-Sw March 20 over 1100m defeating Let It Beel carrying 56kg at $2. Promising filly who can go on with the job.

Dual acceptor. Resuming after a break; only one run when raced on the speed throughout before fading second last of 8 at Sandown-Lakeside in the G3 Chairman's Stk on February 1 over 1000m, 5 len behind Inkaruna with 55kg at $13. Can improve against this line-up.

Dual acceptor. First starter by Dirty Work out of Skagerrak. Won a Cranbourne jump-out on March 24. Early markets suggest she will be highly competitive.
