TOFANE BIDS FOR MORE WINTER GLORY

Tofane bids for back-to-back Group 1 wins today in the Tattersalls Tiara (1400m) at Eagle Farm.

Tofane (pictured) finished strongly winning the Stradbroke Handicap last time out two weeks ago and Mike Moroney suggests the five-year-old has improved.

“She’s thrived since which is an obvious positive and she’s suited by the conditions of today’s race, “ Moroney said.

“Her work was Tuesday was terrific and she is in great order and we can't fault her

“The barrier 11 is a bit awkward and she’ll need another perfect ride from Craig Williams but I think she only needs ordinary luck to be hard to beat again.”

Closer to home at Caulfield, recent Rotorua Cup winner The Good Fight has his first start for the stable in race seven, the over 2000m with Ben Melham aboard.

“The track forecast is soft at the least which will not be an issue for him as his Rotorua Cup win was on a heavy track” Moroney said.

“He’s nice and fit and he looks well. Whatever he does today I’m expecting him to improve on but he’s plenty forward enough to be running well.

"It’s a bit difficult to evaluate the form however, if they do run along and he can get a clear run then he should be hitting the line hard.”
