All ratings for Caulfield are prepared for a Good/Soft track, with minimal rain expected leading into Saturday.
However, race-day predictions indicate a high chance of showers (10-20mm), most likely in the afternoon and evening.
If that rain arrives earlier, it could play a significant role in track conditions.
The rail returns to the True position after being at 6m last meeting, where horses avoided the inside lanes as the day progressed.
Ratings for Rosehill are based on a Heavy track.
Despite warm weather, rain is forecast across all days leading up to Saturday, with 10-20mm predicted on race-day.
The rail is in the True position, having been at 6m last meeting where small fields competed, and the track played evenly.
Historically, on-pace and inside runners have had the advantage when the rail was at 3m or True in recent meetings.
Caulfield Race 3 #12 Alma Rise $3.10
This very promising staying mare looks hard to beat.
Her last-start win at Flemington was exceptional, overcoming traffic to find gaps before quickening beautifully and winning with ease.
The step up to 2400m is no concern, and she is clearly the top pick here.
Rosehill Race 5 #3 Bullets High $3.10
Bullets High has been flying this prep. After a strong fresh win, he has attacked the line in his last two starts, particularly in his most recent run, where his late surge came just too late.
The first few runners home were clearly better than the rest that day, and the step up to 1800m looks ideal now.
Expect a bold showing.
