Caulfield Heath Race 2 - Tobin Brothers Celebrating Lives Mdn Plate
TONKIN (10) resumes and looks the one to beat. She was heavily supported on debut at Bendigo off a very smart trial win and just missed on that occasion, beaten a nose as the $1.70 favourite. Expecting improvement this time around and she profiles a a likely winner. DUTY CALLS (8) ran well fresh at Cranbourne over this trip when third having tackled a strong race behind First Settler on debut as a 2yo. She'll be fitter now and take catching. MR NUNEZ (4) is a colt by All Too Hard on debut for the Robbie Laing yard. He's been jumping out well, expecting a positive start. SIRENA (9) resumes having just found one better on debut at Pakenham Synthetic. Has claims. BOX OFFICE (1) ran well fresh behind a potentially handy one and will be fitter.

Second run back. First-up after five months set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 9 at Wangaratta 3yo Mdn-Sw on December 23 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind Persian Caviar carrying 58kg at $3.70. Previously second-up second last of 11 at Sandown-Hillside 2yo Hcp on July 31 over 1000m, in the wet; 6 len behind Winchester carrying 56kg at $19. Likely to measure up again with natural improvement.
