Caulfield Race 9 - Toby Newton (Bm100)

Open affair. FIRST CHORUS (8) has been flying over the Winter and backs up from a good win at Caulfield Heath last week over 1800m. She'll get soft ground again and back in trip is fine, albeit off a seven-day break. She looks the starting point. LIGHT INFANTRY MAN (3) resumes. He's the obvious class of the race as a multiple G1 Australian Cup winner and he did win over this route first up last campaign however the tempo there was brutal and he outstayed his rivals. Not sure he can do it off a slow speed with 62kg. DARKBONEE (13) caught the eye with a big finish first up at Flemington and now drops 8.5kg. He's progressive, just wary of how far back he might get again - track pattern is key. JUST FOLK (2) continues to race well and draws for every hope.

On a three run winning streak. Most recently favourite; came from midfield and won by a long-neck at Caulfield Heath on August 8 over 1800m on a rain affected track defeating Detonator Jack with 53.5kg at $1.90. The race before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.25 len at this track on July 25 over 1600m on a rain affected track defeating Magnaspin with 51.5kg at $2.40. Well placed. Flying, hard to beat again on the backup.

Recent form sound. Most recently 2nd of 9 at Caulfield Heath on August 8 over 1500m, slow going 1.5 len behind Changing Colours with 55kg at $8. Before that sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 12 at Sandown-Hillside on June 13 over 1400m, on a wet track; 2.5 len behind Thebelmontgangster carrying 60kg at $5. Very good off break last week, this is tougher out to a mile however.

Second run back. First-up after seven months 2nd of 14 at Flemington on August 1 over 1410m, 1.3 len behind Itazura with 61.5kg at $5.50. Previously second-up won by 1.3 len at Sandown-Lakeside on December 10 over 1600m defeating Katsumi Orochi carrying 58.5kg at $2.05. Charged home fresh, big weight drop and should go close.
