    Race Analysis

    PRINCE ERIC (8) had been racing okay but he was safely held last time out when ninth over 1m2f at Caulfield. Good record at this journey with three wins and three minor placings from nine starts and is among the leading chances. SURPRISE COMING (10) has been thereabouts, finishing fifth at Morphettville last time and 2. 25 lengths from the winner. This is far easier. Best form puts him right in this. OCEAN BEYOND (4) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1m1f at Flemington. Among the chances. CRAFTY BOSS (5) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 1m at Ararat, finishing second and beaten a neck at 20/1. Sound record at this distance with two wins and four minor placings from nine runs and is not to be discounted.
