Saturday November 16
Caulfield (tips based on a track rating range of dead 4 to slow 7)
Race 9 No. 10 Floria
In extremely well at the weights under the SWP conditions of this race, her form through Red Tracer and Speediness over her last 5 starts reads very well for this, her form at the mile is better than the stats suggest because of the class of races she has contested.
Rosehill (tips based on a track rating range of dead 4 to heavy 10)
Race 4 No. 4 Frozen Rope
His two runs back this prep have been better than they appear on paper, improves with racing (8 starts for 2-2-1 first and second-up, 13 starts for 6-1-2 thereafter), finally gets a track with the sting out this prep (9 starts for 2-1-1 on good tracks, 12 starts for 6-2-2 on tracks rated dead or worse), meets Secessio 2 kilos better off for being beaten 2.6 lengths last start, won twice here in the autumn.
