Caulfield Race 9 - Sportsbet Testa Rossa Stakes (L)
Tough finish. HERE TO SHOCK (4) was okay fresh in the Chautauqua Stakes when fading late. He should come on nicely from that and gets a good draw to stalk a hot speed. BUCCLEUCH (13) is the ultra-progressive one off two big wins this time in. He's horribly in at the set weights on official ratings but is clearly better than what he's shown so far and with some luck from the gate he'll measure up. HARRY'S YACHT (9) was solid fresh in The Heath and is suited up to his pet trip now. Kept ticking over with a recent trial win at Flemington. Likely to be about the money. ATHANATOS (2) boasts fine black-type credentials. Lines up for the first time since proving too classy in the Lord Mayor's Cup over 1800m at Eagle Farm on May 30. Each-way.

Resumes after a break of four months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign by nose Eagle Farm G3 Lord Mayors Cup May 30 over 1800m slow track defeating Militarize with 58kg at $10. Previously first up; third in a small field at this track Vgold So Si Bon March 14 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Harry's Yacht with 55kg at $3.80. Resumes after a recent trial win. Had a great last prep, 1400m is perhaps on the sharper side.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; scored a big 4.5 len win in a Bm74 at Sandown-Hillside on August 22 over 1400m in the wet defeating Fear No Evil with 60kg at $3.60. Second run from a spell favourite; came from midfield and won by 1.75 len in a Bm78 at Sandown-Hillside on September 9 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Prestige Forever with 61kg at $1.50. Rates highly. Way up in grade but is progressive and can measure up.
