Caulfield Race 3 - Sportsbet Victoria Gold Cup (L)
IMMEDIACY (2) put in an excellent first up showing here in the G3 Carlyon Cup over 1600m, charging home off a fast tempo to just miss G1 winner Light Infantry Man. Three weeks between runs and up to 2000m now should work out well and his 2000m form is very strong for this. TAKEN (4) proved too strong on speed here over 1700m when last seen, given an easy lead there but making the most of it. 2000m now is a new test but he's still on the up. MAGNASPIN (3) was another gifted an easy lead two back here, good again last time behind an in form Suntora. He maps well again and has claims. SUN GIFT (8) continues to race well, just finding one better out to 2400m last time. She'll be hard to hold out.

Second run back. First-up after nine months 2nd of 14 at this track in the G3 Carlyon Cup on February 7 over 1600m, head behind Light Infantry Man carrying 57kg at $31. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by 1.5 len at Mornington Hcp April 19 over 2000m defeating Foujita San carrying 56kg at $2.80. Lovely return and any improvement sees him go close.
