Nominations in for Sir John Monash Stakes day
Caulfield is back hosting group action and the G3 Sir John Monash Stakes (1100m) has some promising horses entered.
Sigh ($9) for Peter Moody and Flying On A Limb ($9) bring in strong winning form angles so will be tough to beat.
But there is a horse who contested an Everest in the shape of Ingratiating ($5). He looks to get some confidence back now down off that grade.
There will be no shortage of speed engaged if they all run as Malkovich ($7) flies along and he will have plenty of company.
In Sydney, Randwick hosts the Listed Winter Stakes over the 1400m where there are some interesting horses nominated.
Ucalledit ($11) tries to win a second 1400m at the track after taking out the Civic Stakes. He will have some of those around him that day like King Of Hastings ($11) and Cisco Bay ($11) in the mix.
One fascinating horse first up is Matthew Flinders ($15) for Annabel Neasham. She has been having a great trot with the imports and this gelding hasn’t raced for almost two years but had very nice form around him from Champions Day.
