Caulfield Cup

Race 1
Azkadelia is 2 wins from 2 starts, 1 here and 1 in NZ.  Was good winner up bush at first Aust start and has since trialled well.  Sea Spray also has good strike rate and looks the danger.
Strong bet 1 unit #2 Azkadelia $3
Value bet 0.5 unit #4 Sea Spray $7

Race 2
Stratum Star was good winner at Flemington last start when well supported.  Similar effort would put him in the finish.  Liberation has been contesting tougher events than this and back in class could improve.  Klammer comes down from NSW with good form in good class races.  Drawn wide but will push forward.
Value bet 0.5 unit #2 Stratum Star $7
Value bet 0.5 unit #3 Liberation $7
Value bet 0.5 unit #5 Klammer $7

Race 3
Maastricht looks one of the better bets of the day.  Was 2 from 2 up bush before well supported and good second in town.  Distance suits, although drawn wide.  With any luck should win.  Little Hottie got back and worked to the line well at second race start last time. Hipster Girl also got home hard in same race, looking for this trip now.
Best bet 2 units #3 Mastricht $2.50
Value bet 0.5 unit #7 Little Hottie $8
Value bet 0.5 unit #10 Hipster Girl $8

Race 4
Kiamon was good in Guineas last week and if backs up ok will be in the finish.  Magicool was good winner at Flemington last time and 200m looks ideal.  Fontein Ruby will be in it for a long way and look the winner at some stage.  Crafty got home hard over the mile last time and the 200 looks perfect.
Value bet 0.5 unit #1 Kiamon $5
Value bet 0.5 unit #4 Magicool $6.50
Value bet 0.5 unit #12 Fontein Ruby $8
Value bet 0.5 unit #13 Crafty $7

Race 5
Leebaz is 6 wins 3 seconds from 10 starts and fist up here looks the one to beat.  Drawn to get a good run from barrier 3.  Manawanui was back in winning form in Sydney last time and can go on here.  Ryker was disappointing last time here when well fancied.  May pay to forget that run.  Keep an eye on the 2 Japanese runners.
Strong bet 1 unit #6 Leebaz $4
Value bet 0.5 unit #3 Manawanui $6
Value bet 0.5 unit #13 Ryker $14

Race 6
Sweet Idea has been terrific last 2 outings at group 1 level and along with Catkins who is top class are my top 2 picks.  Politeness gets a better draw here and won’t have to go so far back.  Girl in Flight was good last out when covered ground and boxed on.
Strong bet 1 unit #3 Sweet Idea $3.50
Strong bet 1 unit #4 Catkins $3.50
Value bet 0.5 unit 7 Politeness $7
Value bet 0.5 unit #8 Girl in Flight $14

Race 7
Change off plans after Brambles scratched to run in Caulfield Cup. Signoff comes back 400 m in journey here but is too good to leave out.  Noble Protector has first Aust start for Smerdon Stable here and boasts a good record in GB. Contributor is having first Aussie start for the Oshea stable.  Has impressive strike rate, can’t be left out.

Strong bet 1 unit #9 Signoff $4
Value bet 0.5 unit #2 Contributor $6
Value bet 0.5 unit #12 Noble Protector $7

Race 8
In an open sprint going with Shammal Wind here.  Has been around the mark this prep and gets chance to get back in winners circle here.  Bel Sprinter goes in on class but can do things wrong. Unpretentious is drawn to get a lovely run and with Ollie on board looks a chance.  Interesting to see how Miracle of Life comes up and rough hope to Thermal current down the bottom.
Strong bet 1 unit #7 Shamal Wind $5
Value bet 0.5 unit # 1 Bel Sprinter $12
Value bet 0.5 unit #3 Unpretentious $8
Value bet 0.5 unit #4 Miracles of life $8
Value bet 0.5 unit #13 Thermal Current $10

Race 9
Caulfield Cup.
Pretty keen on Lucia Valentina here.  Ticks all the boxes as what’s required to win the cup and hard to go past.  Dear Demi is going well at the moment and looks good each way value.  Likewise Lidari who will get a cushy run.  Big watch on Bande who has wraps on him, but happy to look on for now. Chance to Brambles with the scratching of Dandino.
Best bet 2 units #15 Lucia Valentino $4.50
Value bet 0.5 unit #12 Dear Demi $18
Value bet 0.5 unit #14 Lidari $12
Value bet 0.5 unit #19 Brambles $13

Race 10
Anatina looks a top hope, but may be too short in betting.  Was good second first up in open company and back to mares grade here looks ideal.  Miss Steele was good first up and has good second up record.  Sino Eagle has been freshened and goes well fresh.  Value at double figure odds.  The Messina Nymph was good first up in Adelaide and although drawn wide looks promising.
Strong bet 1 unit #3 Anatina $3
Value bet 0.5 unit #2 Miss Steele $8
Value bet 0.5 unit #6 Sino Eagle $14
Value bet 0.5 unit #11 The Messina Nymph $7
