Horse Racing Tips for Caulfield - Heffernan Stakes 2024

Another bet landed from the Thursday article and we’ve been on a roll lately!

Let’s aim to keep that trend going strong.

We have 10 of the best from Caulfield on Saturday, and I expect the track to favour those on speed as a general rule.

However, with a forecast of 2 to 25mm of rain, there’s potential for conditions to shift impacting the usual patterns.

We’ll start with the assumption that being on speed is advantageous, but keep an eye on how the track plays throughout the day.

Now, let’s get to the winner!

Caulfield Best Bet and Tips from Jack Dickens

Caulfield R9 #1 Tuvalu $2.50

This looks like a proper setup for the gelding, and the reasons to back him are compelling.

His starting price profile is outstanding, having been well-supported in strong Group One company, such as $4.80 in the Railway Stakes, $7 in the Underwood Stakes and $6 in the C.F. Orr Stakes which highlights his quality.

Last start from a wide barrier, he was forced to take his medicine and endured a tough run.

Despite this, Tuvalu produced the fastest final 1200m of the meeting, sustaining a long looping gallop and finishing strongly.

The upgrade in barriers is another major plus, shifting from gate 14 to gate 2.

This positional improvement should see Tuvalu land in a perfect spot, either in the one-out, one-back position or in the coffin behind the leader, ensuring he gets every chance.

The only potential concern is the weather, with race-day rain possibly making the inside section of the track disadvantageous.

Tuvalu is dropping in grade, handles all track conditions, and is paired with a jockey currently riding above his career strike rate.

It’s a setup that oozes confidence, and I believe Tuvalu is well-placed to deliver.

Back him to win and keep the momentum rolling!
