October 16th – Caulfield Cup Preview
Below is the preview we gave of the Caulfield Cup a few weeks ago along with our early mail tips.
Saturday 17th brings the Caulfield Cup to town and i can’t think of a harder day to punt than this. Traditionally the Cup itself has been one of the hardest races to pick and the rest of the day seems to follow that trend. Its probably part of the reason i hate betting at Caulfield and am always on my guard when tipping there. The favourite for the race will be the internationally trained (Luca Cumani) CIMA DE TRIOMPHE ($8) and you’d be hard pressed not to think it’s a decent chance. The internationals have usually faired well at Caulfield mostly due tot he fact they prefer the long sustained runs to the finish rather than the fast sprints of alot of the best aussie gallopers. Caulfield suits those who turn it on early and get to the straight first or close behind. Most of you know i have been a fan of MASTER O’REILLY ($15) and i do think he will take out either this race or the Melbourne Cup. DAFFODIL has been carving up the wins in NZ but will be hard pressed winning here unless ridden for luck on the inside. ALLEZ WONDER ($11) shortens into a crazy price after winning last weekend. Too short for me. PREDATORY PRICER ($8.50) has been very consistant this season and is hard to fault but for some reason has never got on the right side for me. I will definitely have both the Bart Cummings trained horses in VIEWED and ROMAN EMPEROR who have been in good form and Bart has been quietly confident about his chances in the big ones this year especially with the Emperor.
Tip: Master O’Reilly each way with a box triffecta of Master O’Reilly, Cima de Triomphe, Viewed, Roman Emperor, Ready to Lift and Shocking ($60 for 50%)
