Caulfield Heath Race 1 - Briga Fliedner 2026 Lady Of Racing Finalist Mdn Plate
SMOKE SCREEN (8) ran a most encouraging race first up at Ballarat over this trip, only nosed out on that occasion, putting up a strong rating in the process. If she can land close enough from the inside gate she'll go close. INVINCIBLE LOVER (7) has shown plenty of ability in three runs to date, second last time out (albeit beaten 8 lengths) by a speedy one at Cranbourne. If she's got another run in the tank she can break through. STERNIN (9) has been thereabouts in three runs this time in, close up behind SMOKE SCREEN at Ballarat last time. She'll be up on speed and in this for a long way. EXIT STRATEGY (5) is a filly by Bivouac on debut for the Douglas yard who has to be respected with Williams booked.

Second run back. First-up after seven months set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 11 at Terang Mdn-Sw on February 20 over 1206m, 2.75 len behind Burleigh with 57.5kg at $3.80. Previously second-up 5th of 9 at Sandown-Hillside 2yo+ Mdn-Sw on July 16 over 1400m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Ad Vitam carrying 57.5kg at $11.

Most recently led to the turn then faded 5th of 13 at Ballarat Mdn-Sw on February 14 over 1000m, 1.0 len behind Lonstar with 57kg at $3.90. The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at Kerang Mdn-Sw on December 27 over 1100m, 3 len behind Wingsandpropellers carrying 56kg at $2.25. Not far away last time. Should be hard to run down.
