The following has been sourced from IASbet (http://record.iasbetaffiliates.com/_SUPLHJFRM3O77L7zifyVX2Nd7ZgqdRLk/1):

Caulfield Race 6 - Lawrence Stakes
It looks like a two horse race between Whobegotyou ($1.90) and Lights Of Heaven ($2.60). Leaning to Lights Of Heaven. From the good draw she'll settle closer in the run and she does have an excellent turn of foot. She's untapped and could have a big spring. Whobegotyou races well fresh but has only won once in seven campaigns. He might need a bit of luck as he will get back in the run and work home. Absolutely ($9.00) is a clear third pick. She's an Oaks winner and has good form around Lights Of Heaven in the autumn.

Caulfield Race 7 - Cockram Stakes
Great field with a stack of chances. Top pick is Parables ($5.50). This is her first time in Melbourne which is a slight query on her, but she has great acceleration and will be charging home late. Do Ra Mi ($10.00) has claims first up. This prep they'll keep her more to sprint/mile type races and she was a dominant winner at Flemington in the autumn displaying her class. She can settle a little closer in this race and still appears untapped. Pinker Pinker ($13.00) has trialled well, and any significant rain is a bonus for her. Prepared to risk Mid Summer Music ($4.50). This is a very tough race and it just feels that she's had some hard racing this preparation. Look for Brazilian Pulse ($17.00) and Southern Speed ($10.00) to be running on late.

Rosehill Race 5 - San Domenico Stakes
Small field but an interesting race. Foxwedge ($2.35) is on top based on his autumn form behind Smart Missile and Sepoy. He's been trialling well and looks to be back in good order. Hollyweird ($7.50) just kept improving with every run last preparation in Sydney. She looks a promising filly who can run a big race first up at nice odds. It will be interesting to see how Karuta Queen ($3.70) comes back. She was a dominant filly and has trialled well but need convincing she's taken the next step in her 3yo season.

Rosehill Race 6 - Starlight Stakes
In an open race, Soul is the top pick ($4.00). He was very good in Melbourne last spring when he displayed plenty of ability. He's had a big break but can figure first up in this. Pressday ($5.50) didn't really fire as a 3yo but is up to this at his best and his trainer has the Cox Plate on the radar if he can step up this preparation, so obviously he has a high opinion of him. Dorf Command ($8.00) is always competitive in these races but be warned that her racing style of getting so far back means she is always a little risky but she does race on the minimum in this so must be considered. Master Of Design ($4.60) won impressively last time when flashing home, he's up in class and a wet track would make his task even greater.
