Caulfield Heath Race 1 - Sportsbet Race Previews Mdn Plate
ICARO (3) was good here two back behind a smart winner before a sound effort at Pakenham, working home late to grab third. Stays at 1600m again but should be hard to hold out if they run along out in front. JENNI BASSETT (10) is another knocking on the door, just missing on heavy ground at Geelong last time. Drawn wide here but can roll forward and give a sight. WOLFOFFITROYSTREET (8) has run third in both starts to date, solid here last time out in a small field. Better again and can atone. MELEK (5) is a St Jean gelding on debut, wary with Williams booked for the Maher yard despite a wide gate.

At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Kyneton Mdn-Sw on November 18 over 1472m, 1.0 len behind Helioson carrying 69.5kg at $3.70. The start before that 6th of 12 at Sale 4yo+ Mdn-Sw on October 26 over 1400m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Baywatch with 59.5kg at $21. Likely to find this a bit tougher so looking to others.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at Geelong Mdn-Sw on November 8 over 1535m, on rain affected going; 0.5 len behind Mozzoni with 56kg at $1.95. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 at Bendigo 3yo Mdn-Sw on October 18 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Soroush carrying 56kg at $6.50. Can improve again. Coming along well and will take catching.
