Caulfield Race 1 - Sportsbet More Places Hcp
Tricky little race to open proceedings. GAULTIER (5) hasn't exactly been missed by early markets off a solid run at Caulfield Heath, getting back over 1000m but recording some nice late splits in a slowly run affair. He looks very well suited getting to 1200m. SALTY PEARL (3) brings the best form on paper, third in a G3 race at Morphettville last time out. She was beaten 5.5 lengths there by a couple of smart ones and pays the penalty with 57kg as a filly but clearly has good ability. MILLENNIUM BLADE (2) comes through a strong race here on debut behind Prince Tycoon who is a chance in the G2 Brc Sires at Eagle Farm later today. Expecting that form to hold up. WARRIOR SMILE (1) has the most race experience with four starts. Back in trip here but should give a sight. THE REAL MAN (6) is the pick of the newcomers.

Useful colt. At the latest run rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 12 at Flemington 2yo Hcp on May 17 over 1400m, slow going 1.5 len behind Highvol carrying 58kg at $13. The start before that led to the turn then faded 5th of 10 at Flemington in the LR Anzac Day Stks on April 25 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Highvol carrying 57.5kg at $10. Back in trip but will take running down.

Third-up today. Resuming 2nd of 9 at Bendigo Vobis Gold Rush on April 12 over 1100m, 0.5 len behind Killiana with 56kg at $17. Second run from a spell 3rd of 8 at Morphettville in the G3 David Coles on May 10 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Steel Trap carrying 55.5kg at $6. Shows promise. Brings the right form.

Colt by Deep Field on debut. Was runner-up in a trial at Caulfield Heath on May 15 over 1000m. Should go well.
