Race 8 (Caulfield Guineas):
Best Bet: Saracino, Impending, Evacuation
Value Tip: Sacred Elixir
Race 9 (Toorak Handicap):
Best Bet: Bon Aurum, Tivaci, He’s Our Rokkii
Value Tip: Counterattack
Race 6:
Winx is Winx, she’ll track them both, peel on the turn and be too good for them in the straight. Black Heart Bart will test her from the front but unlikely he can hold her out and He Or She banks $54k for filling third spot.
Race 7:
Very hard to tip against Foxplay. She’s still got upside off just two runs this prep and she was a big winner without luck last start. With a perfect run she’s clearly the one to beat. Missrock is right at her peak for this and didn’t have any luck last start. If she can slot in midfield she’ll be hard to hold out. La Luna Rossa gets blinkers first time off a nice run last start. She goes in everything. Harlow Gold, Global Glamour and Legless Veuve all go in exotics.
Race 8:
Sacred Elixir looks the only one that can hold out the Sydney colts. He was always going to take a big step off his fresh run so to win was a bonus. With a perfect run midfield, he’ll go close. Divine Prophet does no work from the inside gate. If he has any luck getting clear at the right time he’s a huge danger. Impending will love the mile. He’ll give away a start but is good enough to run over them. Saracino next best with the perfect run just off only an even speed.
Race 9:
Thames Court has been in peak form all prep and she’ll be right at her top for this. She’ll be a bit of odds and looks a strong each-way chance. He’s Our Rokkii has had the perfect lead up and the step to the mile is perfect. Only needs luck getting clear to be super tough to beat. Bon Aurum has to go into everything, he looks ready for the mile now. Tosen Stardom launches late and Royal Rapture goes in any exotics.
