ACIERTO won easily last start and will benefit from the weight drop. LINE ‘EM UP LOUI has drawn well.

TAJ ROSSI SERIES This series takes in heats at Caulfield, Swan Hill and Flemington and is named in honour of the Bart Cummings-trained Taj Rossi, who took all before as a three-year-old and was named Australian Racehorse of the Year in 1973. The series targets later-developing two-year-olds who are suited to the longer distance of 1600m. The series culminates in the $175,000 Listed Taj Rossi Series Final (1600m), a quality handicap for two-year-olds and is run on Flemington Finals Race Day, Saturday 1 July.
