Okita Soushi Information
He stays, he can carry weight, he won’t mind a firm deck…the only knock I have on him is the quality and the form around him. It’s pretty poor. I can’t back him to threaten in either race but he won’t disgrace himself.

Key Replay: Caulfield Cup, October 21 2023, Good Surface
He got a beaut ride from Ryan Moore but even allowing for that, he was quite impressive the way he put them away and was strong to the line in winning. Form out of it, overall, has been just fair, but that is usually the case with this race.
