Here’s your full race-by-race preview and betting insights ahead of a massive Saturday at The Heath.
🏇 Caulfield Race 1 — SEN Benchmark 80 (1700m)
📝 Race Overview:
An even opener with several progressive types resuming or rising through the grades. Mr Verse drops back in trip after racing keenly over 2000 m and looks well suited, while Amleto — the talented import returning from a long lay-off — should strip fitter. Al Duca and Nation’s Call add depth to a competitive Benchmark 80.
🔥 Best to Back Tip:
MR VERSE (Odds: $5.00)
⚡ “Brings consistent metro form and maps perfectly just behind the speed. Back to 1700m suits ideally.”
💎 Best Value Bet:
AMLETO (Odds: $11.00)
💥 “Showed promise resuming from a year off and can improve sharply second-up.”
🏇 Caulfield Race 2 — Thoroughbred Club of Australia Plate (1200m)
📝 Race Overview:
An exciting sprint for the emerging three-year-olds. Point Barrow looks the standout after an eye-catching Champagne Stakes run, while Sassy For Sure and Tres Magnifique bring serious closing speed. Barari and Surf’s Up ensure a genuine tempo.

🏇Caulfield Race 3 — Sportsbet Herbert Power Stakes (2400m)
📝 Race Overview:
A key staying lead-up with several looking for Cups credentials. Plymouth was brave in the Benalla Cup and can go on with it, while Post Impressionist has been luckless in slow-run races and drops in weight. Brayden Star and Whisky on the Hill round out a competitive quartet.
🔥 Best to Back Tip:
PLYMOUTH (Odds: $4.00)
⚡ “Tough win last start; continues to progress and maps ideally again.”
💎 Best Value Bet:
POST IMPRESSIONIST (Odds: $8.00)
💥 “Screaming out for tempo and distance; big watch with weight relief.”
🏇Caulfield Race 4 — Catanach’s Jewellers Vase (1600m)
📝 Race Overview:
Plenty of depth among the mares. Oh Too Good looks primed after strong late splits in recent starts, while Bon Mistress and Gala Queen shape as big improvers up in trip. Sea What I See and Pondalowie will be charging late.
🔥 Best to Back Tip:
OH TOO GOOD (Odds: $3.00)
⚡ “Honest mare suited by tempo and trip; ready to win”
💎 Best Value Bet:
BON MISTRESS (Odds: $26.00)
💥 “Excellent first-up run, strong sectionals; genuine blow-out hope.”
🏇Caulfield Race 5 — The Big Screen Company Weekend Hussler (1400m)
📝 Race Overview:
A straightforward affair on paper. King Zephyr looks a class above and should simply be too strong for these, holding the edge in both fitness and talent.
🏇Caulfield Race 6 — Sportsbet Might and Power (2000m)
📝 Race Overview:
Treasure the Moment brings the best form and is racing in the zone. Little depth behind, should simply win.
💣 DOUBLE UP TIP:
KING ZEPHYR / TREASURETHE MOMENT (Odds: $3.00)
🏇Caulfield Race 7 — Hyland Race Colours Toorak Handicap (1600m)
📝 Race Overview:
One of the highlights of the day. Sepals shoots for a Group 1 treble after his Rupert Clarke success, but Evaporate and Willydoit will make him earn it. Leica Lucy and Damask Rose add depth in a typically open Toorak.
🔥 Best to Back Tip:
EVAPORATE (Odds: $6.00)
⚡ “Brilliant return last start; fitter now and can control the race.”
💎 Best Value Bet:

💥 “Screaming out for a genuine mile and will be storming home.”
🏇Caulfield Race 8 — Sportsbet Caulfield Guineas (1600m)
📝 Race Overview:
The stallion-making race of spring. Nepotism looks to atone for his Golden Rose miss, with Autumn Boy and Wodeton looming as major threats. Rivellino and Planet Red bring genuine value chances if the race opens up.

🏇Caulfield Race 10 — HKJC World Pool Northwood Plume Stakes (1200m)

A deep mares’ sprint to close the program. Ameena drops back from stronger grade and looks beautifully placed. Karavas and Fancify will be flying late, while Pounce is the interesting overseas addition.
