Caulfield Heath Race 7 - Evergreen Turf (Bm70)
IN'KANTOSSTAR (8) is clearly the one to beat and the early betting reflects that. Two starts this time in have resulted in two very soft wins, sent out $1.24 first up and doing it easily before beating Yauson at Geelong who was heavily backed and bolted in next start. Up to 1500m looks ideal and he draws perfectly - only bad luck beats him and other connections agree with a few scratchings shortening the price even further. KATSUMI OROCHI (9) was okay first up behind IN'KANTOSSTAR and can improve on drier ground but has a bit to make up. THE BENCHMARK (11) struggled last time but is in the minor mix while ANGLAND (3) would be a hope on best but is struggling for form.

Last start 9th of 15 in a Bm70 at Sandown-Hillside on September 2 over 1500m, on a slow track; 7 len behind Veyepee with 62kg at $26. The race before that ran second last of 7 in a Bm88 at Sandown-Hillside on August 22 over 1300m, on a wet track; 7 len behind Gold Coast Belle with 52kg at $19. Seven-year-old gelding who has been well held recently and it would seem that this trend is likely to continue.
