Caulfield Heath Race 1 - Sportsbet Blackbook Mdn Plate
Siding with SCAROLE (7) who has race fitness on his side. He's just found one better at his past couple but a win looks close, trying hard behind a handy one in Boys Bounce last time out. Will roll forward here and take plenty of catching. SAINT FOX (6) was sent out $1.70 last time at Bendigo but perhaps didn't handle the heavy ground. He showed ability on debut and can bounce back. ZOUCITY (8) has been about the mark in both runs to date, well backed in the Boys Bounce race last time when fourth. Improving type who should strip fitter again, go close. MEHSUN (3) resumes with claims in his second local campaign and can figure. MELBOURNE BOY (5) was okay fresh but showed ability last time in and can improve sharply.
