Caulfield racing tips

—

Race 1. (11:55) More Places Handicap (1200m)

#2 – Millennium Blade @ $6.00

BET NOW

Millennium Blade was scratched from an easier race on Wednesday, which is a good sign.

The two-year-old colt didn’t lose many admirers when running a close third on debut at Caulfield, so he has track experience.

Given the good draw, we’re happy to include him in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 2. (12:25) Rod Fenwick BM78 (1200m)

#9 – Illative @ $5.00

BET NOW

Talent is with Illative, who ran second fresh up at Sandown before finishing fifth at Morphettville last time out.

The four-year-old mare by I Am Invincible has yet to fire at Caulfield, but she’s far too good to leave out of calculations at the odds.

Look for her to settle back and come with a big late run.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:00) Catanach’s Jewellers Handicap (1200m)

#1 – Big Swinger @ $2.50

BET NOW

Big Swinger was backed and beaten when running fifth behind Enriched at Randwick, and that form holds up well in Melbourne.

The three-year-old is a slick customer with three wins from five starts, and jumping from barrier two should give him every chance in the run.

Take the $2.50 odds before more money comes for him.

Stake: 3 Units

Race 4. (13:35) Selangor Turf Club BM70 (1400m)

#11 – Sound It Out @ $7.50

BET NOW

Sound It Out owns two wins from four starts, and although those wins came at Yarra Valley and Kyneton, she can measure up to this field.

The Chris Waller-trained daughter of Galileo is bred to be better than average, and she’s also bred to enjoy longer distances.

Punters get $7.50 odds, so they’re worth taking.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (14:10) Rod Griffiths BM78 (1600m)

#2 – Madiyya @ $2.50

BET NOW

Winning form is with Madiyya, who scored at Sale before winning at Caulfield last time out by 1.3 lengths.

The Hayes-trained runner looks to have a nice future, and it’s good to see her having another start as a three-year-old filly.

She needs luck from out wide, but she has time to find cover over the mile.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 6. (14:45) JRA BM100 (1600m)

#7 – Verdad @ $5.00

BET NOW

Verdad is a two-time winner from his last three starts, and although he’s only a three-time winner overall, he should have won many more.

He makes his own luck in front, and riding the speed at Caulfield on Saturday could be ideal, especially in a field with many back markers.

He’s over the odds, so include him as a value bet.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 7. (15:20) Ian Miller BM84 (2000m)

#8 – Sunsets @ $16.00

BET NOW

It could pay to look past the form of Sunsets, who has been disappointing, but he’s better than that.

The four-year-old son of Dundeel is a two-time winner, with one of those wins coming at Caulfield, and getting the inside draw is ideal.

We’re happy to take the risk at the big odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 8. (16:00) Bel Esprit Stakes (1100m)

#10 – Cleo Cat @ $5.50

BET NOW

Cleo Cat keeps winning races after posting seven wins from eight starts, and she’s not getting much respect in betting markets.

This is a tough field, but the four-year-old mare won by 1.8 lengths in Adelaide last start, so she’s an adaptable type at this level.

Carrying 54kg should make her tough to beat.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 9. (16:35) Darren Gauci BM84 (1200m)

#16 – Dirty Grin @ $5.00

BET NOW

Boasting winning form is Dirty Grin, who is already a three-time winner this preparation from four starts.

The five-year-old gelding by Zacinto drops to 52.5kg with the 3kg claimer, and that should make him tough to beat on Saturday.

Take the each-way odds before money comes for him.

Stake: 1.5 Units
