Caulfield Race 5 - Ive > (Bm84)
OCEANA DREAM (7) was a former New Zealander making his Australian debut here, off a long break but showing great dash in a slowly run race to get over the top of a decent field. He should only strip fitter from that and it sets him up well to go again with improvement to come. MAKDANE (8) resumes. He can come to hand quickly albeit his best trip is probably 2000m. He was in great form last time in and draws for every hope for a stable who get them fit first up. NATION'S CALL (9) did enough first up to suggest he was back in good order. He's one that improves second up as a rule, 1600m on speed is his go. HIGHLIGHTS (1) was much better last time at Mornington and if he could get back to his best form with Bjorn Baker he'd win this.
