Caulfield racing tips

—

Race 1. (12:10) Next Payments Handicap (1100m)

#9 – Salty Pearl @ $5.00

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

The two-year-old filly ran well for second at Bendigo last time out, which should be a good form guide for the opening race.

The Maher-trained runner looks to have more upside than most in this field, and she has been well-backed to win.

Include her in picks at the odds.

Stake: 1 Units

Race 2. (12:40) National Make Good Solutions BM84 (2412m)

#6 – Fernao @ $3.50

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Fernao went down by a nose to Affluential last time out, which is a solid staying guide for this race.

The six-year-old son of Frankel owns three wins and eight placings from 16 starts, and he should enjoy racing at Caulfield for the first time.

Carrying 54kg makes him even harder to beat.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 3. (13:15) Manhari BM78 (2000m)

#9 – Freight Train @ $4.60

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Freight Train has been backed and beaten a few times this campaign, but we’re prepared to give him another chance.

The four-year-old son of Shamus Award owns three wins and three placings from nine starts, and it’s only a matter of time before he wins.

Barrier two could be enough to see him settle handy and kick well.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 4. (13:50) Assured Insurance Brokers BM70 (1400m)

#4 – Storm Season @ $8.00

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

We have been impressed by Storm Season this season, and she wasn’t far behind the talented Movin Out last time out.

The three-year-old filly is likely to rise in distance later in her career, and getting the inside draw only adds to her chances.

Money should come for her on race day, so take the opening odds.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (14:25) Summit Concepts Merchandise BM78 (1400m)

#4 – Pariah Pearl @ $13.00

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Pariah Pearl is already a two-time winner this preparation, including last time out at Flemington when beating Changing Colours.

The Busuttin/Young-trained mare is rising through the grades nicely, and she runs her best races over the distance.

She’ll head forward and be tough to run down at the shorter straight.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:00) GMH Fire & Safety Australia Handicap (1600m)

#11 – Mary Eliza @ $5.00

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Mary Eliza ran better than the seventh suggests last time out behind Movin Out, and Storm Season could frank that form earlier in the card.

The three-year-old filly by Super Seth won at Mornington three back before placing at Sandown, which is excellent form.

54kg on her back should take her close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (15:40) Ern Jensen Funerals Pinder Family BM84 (1600m)

#11 – Saban @ $4.40

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Looking to improve on his fresh up run is Saban, who should enjoy getting 3kg off his back, dropping him to 51.5kg.

The four-year-old son of Shamus Award owns two wins and four placings, and he’s good enough to get back to his winning ways.

It’s an even field and he could take advantage.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:15) Thoroughbred Club of Australia BM100 (1400m)

#8 – War Machine @ $3.70

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Looking to get back to winning form is War Machine, who ran second at Mornington fresh up behind a nice enough type.

The four-year-old son of Harry Angel showed good form early on when winning three times, and those wins are good form guides.

It’s only a matter of time before he wins again, and this could be the day.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 9. (16:50) Wagstaff Group BM84 (1200m)

#11 – Codigo @ $17.00

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

The former Kiwi runner is enjoying life in Australia with two recent wins at Sandown and Flemington before placing last time out.

He ran close behind a nice type last start, and dropping in weight could be enough for his winning form to return.

He only needs a touch of luck from the draw to go close.

Stake: 1.5 Units
