Caulfield Race 1 - Herald Sun (Bm70)
AMBASSADORIAL (3) looks very well placed in the opener. Two runs back have been very good, finishing close up in the minor placings behind the progressive Fiorenot on each occasion. He should be at peak fitness now and can control this race up on speed which will see him very hard to run down. BLUESTONE (1) resumes. He was racing consistently well over the winter in some decent races and kicks off at an ideal trip. He could improve with a proper spell under his belt. I ONLY WISH (4) stepped up to 2000m last start at Pakenham and proved too strong in this grade. Now she's found her trip she can go on with it. HURRY CURRY (6) is going okay without winning and has minor claims. GLOBAL ECLIPSE (7) won well last time and could measure up.

Previous preparation first-up won by long-neck Mornington Bm64 April 28 over 2000m defeating Stardealt with 59kg at $8. Consistent stayer who can figure at a suitable trip.

First-up. Finished off last campaign second of 9 at Moonee Valley Bm74 October 3 over 3000m, a head behind Suffolk Star with 59kg at $2.30. First up last campaign eighth of 11 at Sandown-Hillside Bm64 August 27 over 1800m, soft track; 6 len behind Rick's Cafe with 62kg at $16. Might be better off following this run.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 13 at Flemington Bm70 on December 31 over 1800m, 1.2 len behind Fiorenot carrying 59.5kg at $5. Second run from a spell made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 15 at Flemington Bm70 on January 17 over 1800m, head behind Fiorenot with 59.5kg at $6.50. Peaks now and finds a very winnable race.

Racing well recently. At the latest run favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Pakenham F&M Bm70 January 23 over 2000m defeating Bon Fete carrying 59.5kg at $2.45. Before that held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Flemington F&M Bm78 on January 10 over 1800m, 1.3 len behind Tarvue with 55kg at $5.50. Got to this trip last time and relished it, can win again.

Last start settled well back; won by 1.5 len at Pakenham Bm66 January 23 over 2000m defeating Avenues with 58kg at $3.90. The race before that 6th of 9 at Sandown-Lakeside 0 - 66 on January 8 over 2100m, 2.5 len behind Scintillante with 58.5kg at $4.80. Harder now but has always promised a bit.
