Caulfield Heath Race 5 - Thoroughbred Club Of Australia Hcp (C1)
ZAKOUMA (2) resumes for the smart Begg stable and has raced well over ground at Stakes level. Won a Geelong Maiden by 4.3L over 1700m first up last time and he kicks off today at a mile. Childs steers from an inside barrier and he rates to go close. MONGOLIAN MISSION (4) peaks and is ready to win. Raced forward at Sale in a 66 and was narrowly beaten over 1400m. From the inside gate he will get every chance to run a strong mile. Maher-trained RUSSIAN DUCHESS (8) steps up from an easy Maiden win at Geelong and showed enough to take seriously. Maps well and is sure to appreciate the journey. SUNSHINE JENNI (9) wasn't beaten far at Geelong first-up when expected to need it. She has more to give and Damian Lane is engaged. May need one more but she has the ability.

First-up. Finished off last campaign third of 15 at Sandown-Hillside Bm70 July 30 over 1800m, soft track; 1.3 len behind Superstock carrying 56kg at $8. Previous preparation first-up to post a big 4.5 len win. Geelong Mdn-Sw June 5 over 1700m slow track defeating Coral Impact with 59.5kg at $2.80. Talented and the race day betting will be key.
