Caulfield Race 2 - Hkjc World Pool Classics Preview
QUICK FINISH (9) improved nicely at her second start at Ballarat Synthetic over 1500m, leading throughout to score a smart two-length win. Looks a handy staying type on the up and she can measure up to these with map favours. ARASHI FLASH (1) is coming off a dominant maiden win over 1547m at Geelong, improving sharply up in trip. Looks a staying type who will relish this trip. FRANK WHISPER (2) stepped up to 1700m at Geelong and won his maiden well. Let up since then but can go on with it. ICY YOU (3) was a dominant maiden winner at Echuca at his second start, scoring by nearly five lengths. Can measure up to these. UTOPIC FUTURE (4) perhaps next best.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run won by 2.25 len in a Mdn-Sw at Geelong on August 28 over 1547m on a soft track defeating Diesel Desmond carrying 57kg at $10. Before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 12 in a Mdn-Sw at Bairnsdale on August 4 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.2 len behind Karumba Girl carrying 57kg at $10. Looks a staying type who will take catching.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 50-day let-up. Last start favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len in a Mdn-Sw at Geelong on July 31 over 1700m in soft going defeating Wolves' Den carrying 57kg at $4.40. The race before that 4th of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at Bairnsdale on July 13 over 1600m, slow going 4.5 len behind Bank Heist with 57kg at $11. Off a break but can measure up.

Had two starts to date. At debut, 2nd of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Pakenham Synthetic on August 16 over 1600m, 1.3 len behind Askmumaskdad with 57kg at $6. Last start favourite; came from midfield and scored a big 5 len win in a Mdn-Sw at Echuca on August 30 over 1600m in soft going defeating Riverlea Prince carrying 57kg at $1.80. Promising and can win again.

Raced two times to date. At debut, tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Pakenham Synthetic on August 10 over 1400m defeating La Reina Vega with 58kg at $9. Last start ran second last in a small field in a 3yo Hcp at Sandown-Hillside on September 5 over 1500m, slow going 5 len behind Lepolo carrying 56.5kg at $8. Through a better race and has minor claims.

At the latest run 5th of 8 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Sandown-Hillside on September 2 over 1500m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Boys Bounce with 58kg at $31. Before that got back early 6th of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Ballarat Synthetic on August 6 over 1200m, 8 len behind Saludar carrying 57kg at $18. Inclined to risk.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, 6th of 8 in a 3yo Mdn-Sw at Sandown-Hillside on September 2 over 1500m, slow going 2.75 len behind Boys Bounce carrying 58kg at $101. Open to improvement but happy enough to avoid.

At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 12 in a Bm56 at Tatura on September 7 over 1600m, slow going 3 len behind Rogue Warrior with 59.5kg at $9.50. Before that won by 2.5 len in a Mdn-Sw at Bendigo on August 26 over 1600m on a heavy track defeating Sheistheboss carrying 57kg at $9.50. Not keen on his chances.
