Sound effort when 0.3 lengths 4th to Goodwill in Caulfield BM 84 (2000m) on 4 February. Each way chance.

Like A Carousel
Ran OK at second run this year when 7 lengths 5th to Second Bullet in Caulfield 1800m Open Handicap on 11 February. Progressing well but may need further than this distance.
3
Dodging Bullets
Sound effort when nose 2nd to Goodwill in Caulfield BM 84 (2000m) on 4 February. Consistent front-runner well drawn in gate one.
4
Golden Mane
Pulled up lame after 4.5 lengths 7th to Hipparchus in Flemington 1800m BM 84 on 28 January. Winner this track and trip and may improve.
5
Annus Mirabilis
Freshened up after 2400m and 2800m wins in December-January. Not won short of 2400m but does look to be much improved.
6
Crocodile Rock
UK import who was narrowly beaten first-up at 1600m this track on 1 January and then won Sandown 2400m BM 70 very easily on 18 January. Back to 2000m should be OK.
7
Hursley
Slow pace against when 0.8 lengths 5th to Goodwill in Caulfield BM 84 (2000m) on 4 February and expect much better here.
8
Sir Laszlo
Just battled when 3.7 lengths 5th to Chance To Dance in Caulfield 2400m Open Handicap on 4 February. Comes back in distance which doesn’t look a plus.
9
Post d’France
Solid effort when 0.2 lengths 3rd to Goodwill in Caulfield BM 84 (2000m) on 4 February. Racing well and looks good chance again.
10
Lola Lu
Slow pace against when 5.6 lengths 6th to Portman in Flemington 1600m BM 78 on 28 January and may appreciate rise in trip.
11
Houdini The Great
Moderate effort last start when 5.2 lengths 13th to Playful Rosie in Sandown 1800m BM 70 on 18 January and would have to improve sharply.
12
Peaky Blinders
Strong effort when 1.25 lengths win from Primeiro in Ballarat 1600m BM 70 on 25 January. Up in class but has more scope for improvement than many of these.
13
Skulduggery
Pulled up lame after 4.4 lengths 6th to Chance To Dance in Caulfield 2400m Open Handicap on 4 February. Two recent wins at 1700m. Back in trip helps.
