Caulfield Race 7 - Henley Homes Underwood Stakes
LINDERMANN (1) comes down from Sydney and is going as well as ever. Found the hot pace of the G1 Winx Stakes too much first up but controlled things nicely to take the G2 Chelmsford second up. Gets a dry track, 1800m is perfect and Shinn should go straight to the front where he'll be very hard to catch. Loved the return of BIRDMAN (6) in the G1 Memsie Stakes here when picking up strongly late. He was a very good winner of the G2 Blamey second up last campaign then bolted in with the G2 Peter Young here. Can settle closer and rip home. COSMIC CRUSADER (5) was ridden negatively in the G1 Memsie as favourite last time and ran on well for third. He's a G1 winner over this trip and should land in a much better spot now. BUCKAROO (2) was also very good from the back in the G1 Memsie. He won this dominantly two years ago then just missed Sir Delius last year, look for him late.

Dual acceptor. Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up struggled in the run home; 9th of 11 in the G1 Winx Stakes at Randwick on August 22 over 1400m, slow going 7 len behind Autumn Glow with 59kg at $51. Last start favourite; won by 1.75 len in the G2 Chelmsford Stakes at Randwick on September 5 over 1600m defeating Ceolwulf with 59kg at $2.70. Well placed. Will control the tempo and that makes him very hard to catch.

Racing well recently. Last start 3rd of 12 in the G1 Memsie Stakes at this track on August 29 over 1400m, slow going 3.5 len behind Beiwacht with 59kg at $3.30. The start before that favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.8 len in the G2 PB Lawrence Stakes at this track on August 15 over 1400m on a rain affected track defeating Private Eye with 59kg at $2.50. Well placed. Can settle much closer this time and prove very hard to beat.
