Caulfield Race 5

Tobin Brothers Celebrating Lives (Bm90)

Stake: $162,000

FLEETWOOD (3) is the one with some upside that appeals here. He resumes having run just once last time in, fourth in the G3 Warra at Kembla Grange, beaten 1.5 lengths by Headwall which reads very well now. He's got a strong overall profile and has won a trial leading in. Whether 1000m is just on the sharp side remains to be seen but he'll be charging late. SHIRSHOV (6) is racing very well this time in. He tried hard sitting outside the speedy Midwest in the $500,00 country discovery at Echuca last time out. Only needs to hold that form and he'll be in this for a very long way. FASUTO (8) has been good in two runs back, back to 1000m should be fine for him and he can track the hot speed. OAK HILL (4) has a good record and did beat home SHIRSHOV at Echuca from a long way back. Up in the weights this time but gets Shinn up. BIG ME (10) also comes through the Echuca lead up and hit the line well there.

Most recently made significant ground from the rear of the field 2nd of 12 at Echuca Discovery on April 18 over 1000m, 0.8 len behind Midwest with 54kg at $7. The run before that got back early 8th of 12 at Flemington in the LR Ata/Bob Hoysted on March 29 over 1000m, 3 len behind Joyful Fortune carrying 54.5kg at $8.50. Very hard to hold out.

Previously first up; fourth of 11 at Morphettville in the LR Wh Wylie September 14 over 1100m, 1.5 len behind Press Down with 54.5kg at $7. Will improve on whatever he does in this.

Useful gelding. Most recently held ground to the line 3rd of 12 at Echuca Discovery on April 18 over 1000m, 1.0 len behind Midwest carrying 54.5kg at $13. The run before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 3rd of 14 at Flemington Bm78 on March 29 over 1100m, long-neck behind Codigo with 60kg at $13. Will be very hard to catch.

Form hard to fault. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at Mornington in the LR Hareeba Stks on April 19 over 1200m, 0.9 len behind The Instructor carrying 54kg at $51. Before that 4th of 11 at Moonee Valley Bm78 on March 22 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Elouyou carrying 60kg at $31. Brings solid form into this and the trip suits.

Dual acceptor. Useful gelding. At the latest run 5th of 12 at Echuca Discovery on April 18 over 1000m, 2 len behind Midwest with 54kg at $14. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.3 len at Cranbourne Bm70 April 4 over 1000m defeating Dreamzel with 62.5kg at $2.80. Big chance after a respectable effort last time out.
