    Caulfield Guineas Day: Full Card Preview

    After a red-hot weekend that saw six winning tips, including a perfect 4/4 strike-rate at Randwick, confidence is sky-high heading into Caulfield Guineas Day.

    Ten races, elite form, and a taste of spring glory — Caulfield Guineas Day is set to deliver a top-class afternoon of racing.

    🏇 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.

    🔥 Best to Back Tip:

    🏇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.

  • Group Racing Blockbuster: Caulfield & Randwick Deliver the Drama

    Group Racing Blockbuster: Caulfield & Randwick Deliver the Drama

    Eight black-type features, returning stars, and carnival-defining clashes — this is spring racing at its finest.

    Caulfield Overview
    Caulfield takes centre stage in Melbourne with a stacked card of feature races. The Guineas Prelude gives emerging 3YOs their shot at black-type, while the Group 1 Underwood Stakes (1800m) and Group 1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m) headline a day that also includes the important Naturalism Stakes (2000m) for spring stayers. Expect high-class clashes and key form guides for the carnival ahead.

    Randwick Overview
    Sydney’s spring build-up continues with another big day at Randwick. The Kingston Town Stakes (2000m) gives stayers their chance, while the Tea Rose Stakes (1400m) shapes as a key fillies’ form race. The 7 Stakes (1600m) sees proven Group 1 stars clash, and The Shorts (1100m) brings together some of Australia’s fastest sprinters in a mouth-watering featur


    🏇 Caulfield R5 — Sportsbet Caulfield Guineas Prelude (1400m)
    📝 Race Overview:
    A competitive Guineas Prelude with several progressive 3YOs lining up. Bacash continues to race consistently at metro level and was brave at The Valley last start. Stay Cosmic closed strongly for second in the McKenzie and looks suited by the rise to 1400m. Planet Red was impressive in his early wins before running on late last time, while Cinturato created a big impression on debut at Sale and should only improve. Estremo and Bingi also bring solid credentials.

    🔥 Best to Back Tip:
    STAY COSMIC (Odds: $4.00)
    ⚡ “He was excellent flashing home in the McKenzie Stakes and now steps up to his ideal trip of 1400m. With the benefit of race fitness and a softer draw, he looks primed to strike. His consistency and closing strength make him the runner to beat.”

    💎 Best Value Bet:
    CINTURATO (Odds: $21.00)
    💥 “Debuted in slick time at Sale and showed great determination late. With natural improvement and conditions to suit, he has the upside to measure up to this level at a price. Expect him to be finishing strongly.”


    🏇 Caulfield R7 — SEN Underwood Stakes (1800m) Group 1
    📝 Race Overview:
    The Underwood Stakes brings together a high-quality field of proven Group performers. Moira was brave chasing Desert Lightning at The Valley and looks suited stepping up to 1800m. Sir Delius has adapted seamlessly to Australian racing and was narrowly beaten in the Chelmsford. Buckaroo is last year’s winner and closed strongly in the Memsie, while Zardozi hit the line impressively in the So You Think Stakes. Golden Path and Anisette also hold claims.

    🔥 Best to Back Tip:
    SIR DELIUS (Odds: $2.20)
    ⚡ “The import has settled quickly into Australian conditions, producing a strong win at Doomben before a game second in the Chelmsford. He profiles as a horse on the rise and the extra trip is perfect. A tough, adaptable galloper who looks ready for Group 1 glory.”

    💎 Best Value Bet:
    ZARDOZI (Odds: $21.00)
    💥 “She produced one of the better late sectionals in the So You Think Stakes despite being unsuited by tempo. Second-up and stretching to 1800m, she looks set to improve sharply. At double figures, she’s an appealing each-way play.”


    🏇 Caulfield R8 — Sportsbet Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes (1400m) Group 1
    📝 Race Overview:
    A deep Sir Rupert Clarke with plenty of winning hopes. Angel Capital was dominant first-up at The Valley, swooping late off a fast tempo, and looks ideally weighted with 53.5kg. Another Wil had excuses in the Memsie and strips fitter second-up, while Damask Rose was outstanding flashing home in the Cockram. Sepals faces a tricky draw but has upside, and Arkansaw Kid maps for a soft run from the inside gate.

    🔥 Best to Back Tip:
    ANGEL CAPITAL (Odds: $3.50)
    ⚡ “Explosive first-up performance showed he’s well above average, and the light weight makes him very dangerous. He’s already a proven swooper at Caulfield and looks to have a serious engine. A deserved favourite in a Group 1.”

    💎 Best Value Bet:
    DAMASK ROSE (Odds: $16.00)
    💥 “Her run in the Cockram was full of merit, hitting the line powerfully against the race shape. The rise to 1400m is exactly what she’s looking for. Despite the wide barrier, she has the turn of foot to swoop over the top late.”


    🏇 Caulfield R9 — Tobin Brothers Naturalism Stakes (2000m)

    📝 Race Overview:
    The Naturalism shapes as a tactical staying test with limited early speed. Statuario has Derby placings and will appreciate 2000m, while Birdman has been building towards this trip with strong late runs. Berkshire Breeze and Future History improve with fitness, while Berkeley Square is dangerous back to a suitable trip. Tempo will be key.

    🔥 Best to Back Tip:
    BIRDMAN (Odds: $3.30)
    ⚡ “He’s been hitting the line well in shorter races, and the rise to 2000m is perfect timing third-up. A progressive type with fitness and upside, he should relish a slowly run race.”

    💎 Best Value Bet:
    BERKSHIRE BREEZE (Odds: $9.50)
    💥 “Stuck on gamely in the Heatherlie and will only be stronger here. The step up in distance suits, and he has a touch of quality that makes him dangerous at a price.”


    🏇 Randwick R5 — Asahi Super Dry Kingston Town Stakes (2000m)

    📝 Race Overview:
    Elamaz was dominant resuming at Rosehill and now steps up in distance with James McDonald booked. Vauban will relish the 2000m after a sound return, while Half Yours has thrived this prep with three wins. Don Diego De Vega resumes off a Grafton Cup win and adds intrigue. Birdman and Arapaho also warrant respect.

    🔥 Best to Back Tip:
    ELAMAZ (Odds: $4.20)
    ⚡ “He was heavily supported first-up and delivered in style, showing acceleration and strength. The rise to 2000m and the booking of J-Mac only add to his appeal. Clearly a stayer on the rise.”

    💎 Best Value Bet:
    HALF YOURS (Odds: $11.00)
    💥 “Rock-hard fit and a winner of three this prep, he looks ready to tackle this grade. The 2000m is ideal, and he can give a big sight at each-way odds.”


    🏇 Randwick R6 — MyPlates Tea Rose Stakes (1400m)

    📝 Race Overview:
    The Furious Stakes is the key lead-up, with Apocalyptic winning first-up but likely to improve further. Tupakara also closed strongly and draws better this time, while Within The Law is a classy filly despite another wide draw. Enviable continues to race honestly and shouldn’t be overlooked.

    A deep 3YO contest with plenty of emerging talent. Grand Prairie has been ultra-consistent this prep, winning twice and placing in every run, while Autumn Boy returns unbeaten after two starts, including a Queensland stakes success. Without Peer faces a wide draw but has shown ability, and Providence was unlucky not to finish closer behind Grand Prairie last time.

    NELLIE LEYLAX makes her own luck and will be right on speed. She gives a strong kick and may take running down if left alone.

    🔥 Best to Back Tip:
    SAYEDATY SADATY (Odds: $3.20)
    💥 Peaked last start and maps to control it again.”

    💎 Best Value Bet:
    BERKELEY SQUARE (Odds: ~$10.00)
    Wide draw is a bonus. Look for him late.”

  • July Jam: Big Plays from Caulfield to Randwick

    July Jam: Big Plays from Caulfield to Randwick

    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.”.

  • Sires’ Produce Saturday: Rising Stars, Best Bets & Value Runners Uncovered!

    Sires’ Produce Saturday: Rising Stars, Best Bets & Value Runners Uncovered!

    Winter form is holding strong and this Saturday brings a juicy mix of proven metro performers and rising stars. All eyes head to Morphettville for the South Australian Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m) — the day’s feature event — where smart juveniles clash in what should be a fast-run, form-defining race.

    There’s plenty more on offer too, with staying tests at Flemington, fast sprints at Rosehill, and good value scattered across the board. Here’s our take on five key races, with a Best to Back and Best Value play in each.


    Rosehill Race 8 – Schweppes Sprint (1100m)

    📝 Race Overview:
    A sharp sprint with two clear standouts. Storm The Ramparts is in career-best form, with three wins and two placings from five starts this prep, all at metro level. He’s race fit, maps ideally, and is thriving through winter.
    Our Kobison resumes after a freshen with strong Rosehill stats, while Corniche, off a long spell, has the class edge if ready. South Of India also resumes and is one for wider exotics.

    🔥 Best to Back Tip:
    Corniche (Odds: $5.00)
    💥 Resumes off a 41-week spell but has trialled well and has the raw talent to win fresh. A proven stakes performer and worth trusting if market confidence builds.

    💎 Best Value Bet:
    Storm The Ramparts (Odds: ~$7.00)
    He’s been ultra-consistent this campaign and brings genuine race fitness to a field with some first-uppers. Draws to settle on speed and gets every chance.”


    Rosehill Race 9 – Asahi Super Dry Winter Challenge (1500m)

    📝 Race Overview:
    A quality winter feature with multiple in-form contenders. Accredited has been outstanding this prep, with a Randwick win and a strong third here last start. He maps for a soft run again and should be right in the finish.
    Robusto continues to improve and looks ready to peak third-up. Thunderlips is consistent and brings strong metro form, while Estadio Mestalla loves this track and adds value.

    🔥 Best to Back Tip:
    Accredited (Odds: $4.00)
    💥 He’s proven at this level, brings in the right form lines, and has a great map again. Looks ready to win third-up with conditions to suit.”

    💎 Best Value Bet:
    Thunderlips (Odds: ~$6.00)
    Hasn’t missed a beat this prep and rarely runs poorly. If the pace goes on, he’ll be there late—and the price makes him worth playing.”


    Morphettville R5 – South Australian Sires’ Produce Stakes (1400m)

    📝 Race Overview:
    Promising juveniles line up in this stakes contest. Ethereum Girl was strong winning fresh and narrowly beaten last start. She’s tough, drawn well, and handles soft going.
    Violet Lovebug is unbeaten and dangerous from the inside draw. Bootlegger brings winning form from Gawler, while Too Much Too Soon brings genuine Melbourne form and will be strong late.

    🔥 Best to Back Tip:
    Ethereum Girl (Odds: $4.00)
    💥 Her first two runs this prep have been top class and she looks the most battle-tested filly in the race. Reliable, tough, and handles all conditions.”

    💎 Best Value Bet:
    Too Much Too Soon (Odds: ~$17.00)
    Placed at metro level in Melbourne and was close up in a stronger race last start. Maps to get the right run and can surprise in the finish.”


    Flemington Race 8 – VRC Member Gabriella Delutiis Trophy (2000m)

    📝 Race Overview:
    A strong way to finish the card with proven 2000m types and some fit winter horses ready to peak. Milford finally gets to his right trip and returns to the track of his most recent win. He hasn’t had much go right this prep but this looks ideal.
    Sayedaty Sadaty is in form and maps to roll forward, while Je Zous improved sharply second-up and now steps up to 2000m with added fitness.

    🔥 Best to Back Tip:
    Milford (Odds: $9.00)
    💥 He’s been unsuited in shorter races and by race shape, but everything lines up now—track, distance, weight drop. Expect a big lift.”

    💎 Best Value Bet:
    Je Zous (Odds: ~$23.00)
    Closed strongly second-up over this trip and should be even better now. She’ll be one of the strongest late if the tempo suits.”
