Caulfield Race 1 - Sportsbet Feed Hcp
Tough with some good looking newcomers looking big chances, perhaps none more so than NATURAL FLING (12), a filly for team McEvoy by Home Affairs who cruised to the line to win a recent trial at Caulfield Heath, showing speed and doing it easily. She was an expensive purchase who looks very talented. SHOOTING BRAKE (3) has had experience, coming on well from midfield to grab second at Caulfield Heath on debut. Have to respect that. TRUANT (7) is a colt by Pinatubo on debut for the Hayes yard who has jumped out well with Zahra booked to ride from a good gate. JARBARDAR (1) trialled sharply and bolted in on debut as a short favourite at Wagga. This is much tougher, but he's shown good ability and he's not to be discounted.

Dual acceptor. Was well-supported at debut, won favourite; won by 3.5 len at Wagga 2yo Hcp April 19 over 1000m defeating Borata's Girl with 58kg at $1.35. Much harder now but can't knock.

Filly by Graff facing the starter for the first time. Ran 3rd in a jump-out at Pakenham on April 21. Others profile better and may need more time.

Dual acceptor. Tony & Calvin Mcevoy trained two-year-old filly lining up for first race start. Looked good when an easy trial winner. Good draw will assist chances. Go close.

Resuming today after only having had one start and then had five-and-a-half months break. At debut last start 9th of 13 at this track in the LR M Cooper on November 29 over 1000m, slow going 3.5 len behind Eternal Warrior carrying 56kg at $71. Had six recent trials to get fit for this. Last trial finished fifth in a Flemington jump-out on April 24. Prefer to see.

First starter. Two-year-old filly by Tassort out of Demeanour. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 850m at Caulfield Heath April 23. Watch for any market moves.
