As winter racing rolls on, we turn our attention to a cracking Saturday card split between Caulfield and Randwick, featuring a mix of seasoned campaigners, up-and-comers, and a few wide open betting contests. The Bletchingly Stakes at Caulfield may be the highlight, but Randwick throws in a few must-watch sprints too. Let’s break down five key races and highlight the top bets.
Caulfield Race 6 – Tobin Brothers Celebrating Lives Hcp (1100m)
📝 Race Overview:
A sharp sprint with some progressive types, and a mix of proven form and upside.
Savagery Vibe is peaking nicely. His last run at Rosehill was full of merit, making strong ground against the tempo. He’s honest, drawn to get cover, and handles all going. Shadhavar was sound fresh when caught off a hot speed — she’ll take benefit from that and has a touch of class. Fieldelo was excellent first-up, not suited since, but back to 1100m on a turning track suits.
🔥 Best to Back Tip:
Savagery Vibe (Odds: $4.00)
💥 “He’s consistent, adaptable, and coming off two strong runs. Looks perfectly placed third-up from a good gate.”
💎 Best Value Bet:
Delicate Lady (Odds: ~$8.00)
⚡“Only won a maiden but did it in style. Draws to get a soft run and has some upside — can figure at a price.”
Caulfield Race 7 – Stow Storage Solutions (Bm100) 1400m
📝 Race Overview:
Stacked field of quality older horses. Tactics and tempo crucial.
Detonator Jack looks to be building. He ran well behind Fangirl in the spring and caught the eye late in the Winter Championship Final. Back to 1400m, fitter again, draws soft — ready to win. Forgot You was brave at Flemington and won’t be far away. Berkeley Square is a second-up winner who can improve, while Earlswood is racing consistently.
🔥 Best to Back Tip:
Detonator Jack (Odds: $10.00)
💥 “Will love the draw, gets the right set-up, and has the turn of foot to win. Looks like this has been the target.”
💎 Best Value Bet:
Milford (Odds: ~$14.00)
⚡“Forget last run — he overraced. Has been unlucky in recent starts and is suited back in trip on a quick back-up.”
Caulfield Race 8 – The Big Screen Company Bletchingly Stakes (1200m)
📝 Race Overview:
The day’s feature sees a deep field of sprinters with form from across the states.
New York Lustre is ready to peak second-up. She ran well fresh off no trial, sticks to her preferred course, and maps to get a nice trailing run. The race looks to set up nicely for her. Kin is flying and gets a tempo to suit. Bridal Waltz and Yellow Sam are honest, while Kallos can improve.
🔥 Best to Back Tip:
New York Lustre (Odds: $6.50)
💥 “Looks the winner with fitness now on her side and a tactical advantage. Fitter, class, and placement all ticked.”
💎 Best Value Bet:
Kin (Odds: ~$9.00)
⚡“Will be steaming late and gets her race shape. Can launch over the top if the leaders overdo it.”
Randwick Race 5 – Mostyn Copper (Bm88) 1600m
📝 Race Overview:
A tactical mile race where one filly could dominate.
Oh Diamond Lil should get her own way up front again. She’s racing in top form, drops weight, and gets conditions to suit. Green Shadows is knocking on the door, and Battleton might relish getting to 1600m with a strong late finish.
🔥 Best to Back Tip:
Oh Diamond Lil (Odds: $2.10)
💥 “Led and won dominantly last start. Drops in weight and maps identically — hard to catch.”
💎 Best Value Bet:
Battleton (Odds: ~$12.00)
⚡“Needs luck but will be hitting the line hard. Could run into the finish with the right tempo.”
Randwick Race 8 – ATC Thank You Trainers (Bm88) 1100m
📝 Race Overview:
Speed to burn in the final race. Tempo should be hot.
Storm The Ramparts is in terrific form, winning three and placing in four of seven this prep. He meets a few worse off at the weights, but he’s reliable and drawn to find a spot. The Black Cloud looks ready to strike after chasing hard last start, while Hi Dubai could turn the tables with the 6.5kg swing.
🔥 Best to Back Tip:
Storm The Ramparts (Odds: $7.50)
💥 “He just keeps turning up and was brave again last time. Drawn to get the right trail — deserves top billing.”
💎 Best Value Bet:
Hi Dubai (Odds: ~$10.00)
⚡“Meets the favourite better at the weights and is a sneaky chance to cause the upset if she lands midfield with cover.”.
