Caulfield Cup Day: Best Bets
Here are my tips for today’s racing:
Caulfield Cup:
Every thing seems to point to the favourite, Lucia Valentina, winning this race particularly over a good win in the Turnbull. I am going to take on the favourite here and tip Lidari (Number 14) to win. Here’s why:
- Strong form over the distance when still racing in France.
- Turnbull run was just fantastic given the amount of work the horse had to do and was only half a length away from besting Lucia Valentina there.
- Has picked up an inside gate in this race and will be able to settle towards the front half of the field.
- Meets Lucia Valentina 1.5kgs better from the Turnbull.
At $9 fixed price Lidari is the winner for me.
Value punters should also have a look at Stipulate (Number 13) which at $21 presents great each way value given his barrier draw and with not much weight on.
Best Bet: Lidari
Value Bet: Stipulate
Other Races
Caulfield: Race 1 Number 2 Azkadella
Randwick: Race 3 Number 3 Hero I Am
Doomben: Race 8 Number 5 I’m Usian
Good luck and good punting.
As always:
- Please gamble responsibly.
- All care is taken with these tips however no responsibility vests for losses incurred.
