HITS
Sunshine Coast Race 1 No.4 Pereille $3000 @ $3 (neds)
Godolphin got off to a flyer as J-Mac powered Pereille to victory - his first win on the horse in what was his first race ride on him in over a year. All his other four rides on the horse saw him beaten less than a length. He made sure that didn't happen again - careering home by 4L.

Morphettville Race 5 No.4 Sea What I See $4000 @ $2.05 (neds)
Morphettville Race 5 No.4 Sea What I See $3000 @ $2 (Pointsbet)
The popular grey will become even more popular after a sixth straight win, and is now in a share of Caulfield Cup favouritism.

Caulfield Race 1 No.6 Tropicus $2500 @ $12 (TAB)
A swooping win in the first for this roughie for the Anthony and Sam Freedman/Daniel Moor combo. Significant overs too, as Tropicus jumped a $5 pop (official SP).

Caulfield Race 10 No.9 Red Hot Nicc $2000 (each-way) @ $26/6.50 (Sportsbet)
Huge hit here for this punter in the last, the horse not held back by a wide draw from the sprint chute - slinging to victory by 0.2L (SP $17). That result saw this punter collect a cool $65,000 for a profit of $61,000.

Sunshine Coast Race 4 No.9 Balastier $5,000 @ $5 (Topsport)
Swing and a miss here, as Balastier ran last beaten 10.5L by Althoff.

Returning after two months between runs, it was once again fairly close without the big cigar as Moravia can do - beaten 1.3L into fourth.

Big run from the Victorian raider, but swamped only by Numerian who rocketed into the race like an odds-on pop (but was actually a $31 SP).
