Caulfield Race 5 - Sportsbet Angus Armanasco Stakes (G2)
Keen to see the return of SHEZA ALIBI (1) who was utterly dominant winning the G2 Sandown Guineas before a break, ripping home in fast splits to score by 6 lengths. 1400m fresh is perfect and she might just have too much class for these. SALTY PEARL (2) resumed with a good run here in the G3 Manfred Stakes, running on strongly for third. Up to 1400m and drawn better, she can challenge. CHATEAU EZE (6) ran well in the G3 Peter Le Grand fresh behind a good one in Alpha Sophie to finish fourth. She's lightly raced and should improve up in trip. MYSTERY 'N' DRAMA (5) has won two on the bounce in benchmark company. Back in trip here but can give a sight. ANGEL EYES (9) was just fair fresh but could be a quick improver up in trip.

Is first-up after a break of three-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign to post a big 6 len win. This track G2 Sand Gneas November 15 over 1600m defeating Tagline carrying 55kg at $1.50. First up last campaign third of 7 at this track in the LR Gothic Stakes October 18 over 1200m, 2 len behind Tentyris with 55kg at $10. Resumes after a recent trial win. Class filly who can take care of these.

Most recently faded in the straight 7th of 10 at this track 3yo Bm70 on January 31 over 1800m, 4 len behind Miss Maranda with 60.5kg at $8.50. The start before that 3rd in a small field at Flemington 3yo Bm70 on January 10 over 1600m, 4.5 len behind Flying Done carrying 60.5kg at $2.05. Been up a while and fancy others have more upside.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run won by a neck at Caulfield Heath F&M Bm74 February 9 over 1600m defeating Grey Ice carrying 52kg at $8.50. The race before that won by 1.0 len at Sandown-Hillside Mdn-Sw January 21 over 1500m defeating Jimmy Beans carrying 56kg at $1.35. Definite winning chance. Harder now, each way.
