Race 1 - MRC Membership Feel The Thrill Handicap (1800m) – 12:20pm AEDT
No. 4 Touchdown
TOUCHDOWN chases a hat-trick in the first at Caulfield Heath this weekend.
He hasn't finished worse than second in five trips to the races so far, but Touchdown is still improving, and after recorded an easy win over a mile here two runs back, he was eye-catching again over this route last time out.
There is a little more depth in this race again, but I am keen to stick with him until he gives me a reason not to.

Race 2 - Benchmark 84 Handicap (1800m) – 12:50pm AEDT
No. 8 Oraqua
ORAQUA is another last-start winner I've got my eye on again at Caulfield Heath.
Oraqua was freshened after a luckless and sub-par run on the main track here in October but returned a month late with a decent run behind Party Crasher on Melbourne Cup Day.
Having returned to winning form at the 'Bool last time out, this looks a nice opportunity for her to get back into Saturday metro company.

Race 3 - MRC Mornington Summer Of Racing Handicap (1600m) – 1:25pm AEDT
No. 2 Mixxit
MIXXIT is second up and primed to strike at Caulfield Heath.
Having won four races in succession before finishing at the tail of the field in the Country Mile here back in March, the Sioux Nation gelding trialled up nicely and was only denied by an impressive Shiny New Deel at Cranbourne when resuming.
With natural improvement and sticking at the mile, I think he gets plenty of ticks in what looks to be an open race.

Race 4 - Magic Millions Digital Handicap (1500m) – 2pm AEDT
No. 9 Knobelas
KNOBELAS takes winning form and impressive into the fourth at Caulfield Heath on Saturday.
Having recorded two wins and as many second placings from her four appearances during her first racing preparation, the Belardo mare was sent off a popular selection in the market at Pakenham when resuming and didn't disappoint, greeting the judge two lengths ahead of her rivals.
She won her only other second up run to date and with options in the run this week from the rails draw, I can't find a reason why she won't be in the finish again.

Race 5 - Magic Millions VIC 2YO Classic (1100m) – 2:35pm AEDT
No. 8 Unit Five
All but two of the eleven confirmed starters in this race are on debut, including UNIT FIVE.
In two public trials, the Supido colt has shown plenty of ability and cruised away to win both.
While he'll undoubtedly improve for whatever he does do here on debut, he looks classy and forward enough to win.

Race 6 - Quayclean Handicap (1200m) – 3:10pm AEDT
No. 3 Miss Icelandic
MISS ICELANDIC is third up and well placed in my opinion at Caulfield Heath on Saturday.
She needed her first run back this time when well beaten at Listed level here in November, but Miss Icelandic stripped fitter and improved noticeably second up in BM78 company to only just miss.
Fitter third-up with some relief in the weights this week under an in-form Ryan Hurdle, this looks a nice race for her.

Race 7 - B&M Infrastructure Handicap (1100m) – 3:45pm AEDT
No. 1 Job Done
JOB DONE returned to action with a nice performance to win here on the Caulfield Heath and this is a great opportunity for him to go on with it.
Job Done stamped himself as one to follow by winning on debut at Seymour back in June before a nice effort behind the impressive Jimmy Recard down the straight at Flemington.
I thought his fresh performance this time suggested that he has returned a better horse this time, and with improved condition this week and under Jamie Melham, he'll take beating again.

Race 8 - Magic Millions VIC 3YO & 4YO Classic (1200m) – 4:25pm AEDT
No. 11 Satin Diva
SATIN DIVA is the one for me in what looks to be one of the better races on Saturday's Caulfield Heath program.
She's only made three appearances at the races since debuting but broke her maiden second up last time in and returned to action to fill the minors behind Job Done earlier this month.
I'm expecting that form to hold up, and with natural improvement dropping in the weights and from a perfect draw, I think this horse will be right in the finish as well.

Race 9 - Benchmark 90 Handicap (1000m) – 5:05pm AEDT
No. 2 Samangu
SAMANGU resumes in a nice race this weekend.
She hasn't been seen in action competitively since March, but Samangu was almost faultless last time in, winning five of six starts and finding form around some classy opposition in the process.
With the benefit of a couple of trials under her belt, she looks to get suitable conditions in Melbourne this week and should receive every chance in this small field, from a low draw.

Race 10 - Evergreen Turf Handicap (1200m) – 5:40pm AEDT
No. 6 Illyivy
An open race to end the day and a tough one to analyse from a betting standpoint, but I am going to have an each way play on the resuming ILLYIVY.
Illyivy had clearly had enough by the time that she finished down the order in BM78 company at Flemington in early August, but her form prior to that was excellent, and included two wins and two second placings from four appearances.
She's trialled up nicely and is yet to finish worse than second at this point of her preparation.
