Caulfield Race 4 - Manhari Thousand Guineas Prelude (G2)
PROFLIGATE (5) resumed with an eye-catching fourth in the Atlantic Jewel Stakes, getting back and running on strongly behind impressive winner Pretty Baby. Loved her last 100m there and she draws better here. No doubt she'll get over further but with the added fitness she should go close. PORTINARI (6) beat PROFLIGATE home in the Atlantic Jewel, setting close to the pace and battling on well for third. Tough draw but was well backed there and with a good Blake Shinn ride she'll take beating. TOLAGA BAY (8) is undefeated in two starts, albeit she was a touch lucky given the runner-up last time was something licked. Still, she should improve again and can measure up. SAINTLY DANCER (10) was solid in the Atlantic Jewel and maps for every chance. ICELADY (9) chased Over Excited first up and that form was franked last week, consider.

Third-up today. Resuming ran last of 10 in a 3yo Hcp at Flemington on August 1 over 1000m, 6 len behind Almontego carrying 58kg at $7. Second run from a spell 10th of 16 in the G3 Quezette Stakes at this track on August 15 over 1100m, slow going 8 len behind Natural Fling with 57kg at $81. Looks tested.

Third race start. Won on debut won by 2 len in a 2yo Hcp at Flemington on June 6 over 1100m in the wet defeating Profumo with 54kg at $26. Returned from break ran second last of 10 in the G3 HDF McNeil Stakes at this track on August 29 over 1200m, on a slow track; 8 len behind American Eagle with 55kg at $6.50. Disappointed fresh but can bounce back to this trip.

Second-up. First-up after four months 4th of 11 in the LR Atlantic Jewel Stakes at Sandown-Hillside on September 5 over 1300m, slow going 5 len behind Pretty Baby carrying 56kg at $19. Previously second-up 2nd of 10 in the LR ANZAC Day Stakes at Flemington on April 25 over 1400m, 2 len behind Blind Raise carrying 55.5kg at $7.50. Lovely return and sets up nicely here.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 3rd of 11 in the LR Atlantic Jewel Stakes at Sandown-Hillside on September 5 over 1300m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Pretty Baby with 56kg at $4. The start before that 4th of 16 in the G3 Quezette Stakes at this track on August 15 over 1100m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Natural Fling carrying 56kg at $9. Racing well, just needs a touch of luck from the gate.

Puts an unbeaten record on the line. Returned last time out tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck in a 3yo Bm64 at Sandown-Hillside on September 2 over 1300m on a rain affected track defeating Somethings Burnin' carrying 57.5kg at $4.20. Bit lucky to win last time but she's hard to knock and can improve again.

Last start 6th of 11 in the LR Atlantic Jewel Stakes at Sandown-Hillside on September 5 over 1300m, slow going 6 len behind Pretty Baby carrying 56kg at $6.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation fourth of 11 at Morphettville Parks in the G3 Sires Prod July 18 over 1400m, soft track; 2.5 len behind Neveu carrying 55.5kg at $5.50. At her first start won by nose Sandown-Lakeside 2yo F Hcp July 1 over 1300m on heavy track defeating Delahra carrying 58.5kg at $4.40. Would prefer to see without a strong push.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, came from midfield and won by a nose in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Sale on August 21 over 1100m in soft going defeating He's Regal with 56kg at $12. Second-up 4th of 8 in a 3yo Bm64 at Sandown-Hillside on September 9 over 1000m, slow going 2.25 len behind Tales Of Time with 57.5kg at $14. Can improve again but is sharply up in trip.

Getting off the mark on debut; won by 0.8 len in a Mdn-Sw at Echuca on August 30 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Rock The Vendi with 55kg at $9. Looks a nice type but this is a tough ask.
