RUBAROC GRAND HANDICAP CLASSIC

See no reason to jump off the exciting SEA WHAT I SEE (12). She's won all three starts this time in and was dominant at Caulfield Heath over 1800m last start at short odds. She looks a very promising daughter of Sea The Stars who will only continue to improve up in trip. Goes close. SIR ATLAS (6) was unlucky and arguably should've won the Caulfield Country Mile last start. No issue up in trip for him with upside to come. LET'SBEFRANKBABY (5) was good first up at Caulfield Heath over 1500m. She's a G3 winner over 2500m and will relish this trip now. ARISTONOUS (7) isn't the most reliable conveyance but was better last week and does have talent. LAUDING (1) is racing very well and can measure up again.
