Caulfield Tips
Samangu
The Begg stable is red-hot, and they are notorious for backing their horses when they are flying—and Samangu fits the bill.
She has won 3 of 4 this prep, starting $1.85 favourite last start at Flemington, where she may have been unsuited by track conditions.
Now back to Caulfield’s tighter-turning track, she should get rolling early, catch them off guard, and prove hard to beat.
Entrusting
Plenty of big ownership motivations here, as Arrowfield Stud and a leading stable look to enhance his profile.
He was backed off the map ($5 into $3.60) and won well at Sandown last start, showing serious ability.
Now stepping up in class, but he looks progressive and has no issue handling the rise in grade. Expect another strong performance.
Tropicus
A high-priced colt with stallion potential, Tropicus is being carefully placed to build his value and progress through Group level.
The booking of Mark Zahra is a huge positive, as top stables rarely waste his services on horses not ready to fire.
With big goals ahead, the team will want a statement win here—he’s a serious contender.
Too Darn Lizzie
A brilliant front-running sprinter, Too Darn Lizzie loves to jump, lead, and run them along.
Her fresh record (2:1-0-0) is solid, and Caulfield heavily favours front-runners, making her a major player.
Blake Shinn taking the ride is a huge indicator of intent, as he usually has his pick of the best winning chances. If she jumps cleanly, expect her to be hard to run down.
Rosehill Tips
Makerena
The Hawkes stable has a smart one here, and the first-up record (3:0-2-0) suggests she’s primed to fire fresh.
They wouldn’t enter her straight into Group 2 company unless they had plenty of confidence, and early market support suggests they expect a big run.
If more money arrives late, she will go very close.
Redstone Well
Has been trialling superbly leading into this and looks much more forward in condition than usual first-up.
Already has experience at this level, whereas many rivals are untested at Group level.
With natural tactical speed, he should race prominently and gain a big advantage over the field. Expect a positive ride and a strong showing.
Public Attention
A superb winner last start at Randwick, beating high-class rivals with authority.
Now steps up to 1400m, which should suit him even better, giving him more time to balance up and charge home.
From gate 11, expect them to push forward and land midfield with cover, setting him up for another powerful finish.
Brudenell
A lethal sprinter who can lead or finish off from behind, making him hugely versatile.
He is also entered for the Group 1 Oakleigh Plate, so if the stable opts for this race, they must have huge confidence in his fitness.
If they scratch from Oakleigh Plate and run here, he should be winning.
