Caulfield Racetrack Horse Racing Picks and Commentary

22 to 1 Tom’s Interntional Tips

R2 – Autumn Stakes Group 2

8 – Burning Power

5 starts 3 wins

Won at the distance

Been away for 78 days but has running 2 trial races at 1000m

Won vs open company last out sitting last and move up at the 800m mark

Won the race before at the Bm64 level

Won first up, maiden race running in the same style as her other winning efforts

Sitting midpack will be her best chance to close and win here

This is a step up to group company and she faces males again

1 – Coastwatch

11 starts 2 wins 4 placings

Coming into this race, he has 2 barrier trials that were average runs to come into this race.

The comment “keen” in last race was noted, settling early is key

He’s won twice at this distance from 4 races

Raced longer last out 1600m but appears to want shorter races

Should be close to the leaders in this race

I don’t think he will win but getting a placing here in more likely

3 – Sharp Response

6 starts 2 wins 3 placing

Place at this distance

Been running against lesser horses last 3 times in Bm70 races with not wins

Never far behind in any races but when too near the leaders, he has backed up

If he runs his race, he will sit midpack and move off the turn

This is a step up, but his form has been good enough for a placing. Win?

 

R6 – Ts Carlyon Cup Group 3

3 – Yonkers

33 starts 9 wins 11 placings

At the distance, he has 6 starts 2 wins 3 placings

At this track, he has 4 starts 3 wins

A good 2nd last out in November at 25-1, ran a fast final at :33.92 and this was at the distance of 2000m

He’s a group 2 winner at 1500m

He will sit midpack and there is on speedster in this race, Open Minded

I think he has a great chance here even with the layoff because all but 1 horse are coming off layoffs and he’s won twice off layoffs before

8 – Normandy Bridge

6 starts 2 wins 1 placing

At the distance 4 starts 2 wins 1 placing

Imported to Australia after running in France

Last 2 races he was over his head against group 1 horses and the winner was St Mark’s Basilic both times

Won group 3 at Saint Cloud in 2020

Should sit way back and make one run

He may need a start here before winning but he’s faced some on the best in France, so a placing is possible

1 – Callsign Mav

20 starts 7 wins 8 placings

5 tries at the distance with 1 win 2 placings

Does well fresh (FU) with 4 starts 3 wins 1 placing

Group 1 winner more than once

Ran a barrier trial in prep for this race, ok 3rd and good time of 1:00.60

Favorite in this race and should sit behind the pace marker and take the led at the top of the stretch.

Never raced this track

The one to beat unless he gets used early and I am not sure this is his best distance

 

R7 – Rubiton Stakes Group 2

3 – Mileva

13 starts 6 wins 3 placings

1 for 1 at this track and has 6 starts 3 wins 2 placings at this distance

Ran a longer race last out at group 3 level, running 4th, had the lead in the stretch but good finishing last quarter of :33.70, so they were flying, moved too early?

A listed winner twice in recent history so tries again in group company

If she runs her race, she will sit in front of the midpack horses and move up

2 – Artorius

9 starts 2 wins 5 placings

He’s won once on this track and 2 placings out of 3 tries

Only 1 run at this distance and placed

Last raced in October in group 1 race running a respectable 3rd at 1200m and was 13 entering the stretch.

As you can guess, he’s a 1 run horse and should be last for most of the race

Drops down in class and distance, Oxley Road should be the leader, so will he have enough pace up from to run down the field

1 – Oxley Road

7 starts 3 wins 2 placings

3 starts at the distance no wins but placed twice

At this track, 2 wins 1 place from 3 starts

Winner at 1000m group 2 race in October before an average run his last race before the layoff

After layoff, he has 2 starts 1 win 1 placing

He will be the one out front in this race

He can win but more likely vs this group, he will have enough left the beat the balance of the field

R8 – C. F. Orr Stakes Group 1

9 – Sierra Sue

20 starts 8 wins 1 placing

Great record at this distance, 7 starts 5 wins

Group 1 winner at this distance at this track with 4 starts and 2 wins

Last 2 races in group 1 races were awful, so the layoff made sense

After layoff, she has 2 wins from 4 starts

She will sit behind the midpack and move up as the frontrunners slow down

If she ready, she will win

3 – Behemoth

26 starts 10 wins 6 placings

He’s 4 for 6 at this distance and 3 for 6 at Caulfield

After layoff, he has 10 starts 5 wins 3 placings

Big favorite last out in listed race and was beat by 1/2L

He lost to Sierra Sue in September running 6th beaten by 2L

He will be with the frontrunners and move forward at top of the stretch

He’s multiple group winner but is facing a good field here

1 – I’m Thunderstruck

9 starts 6 wins 2 placings

Only 1 win at the distance but placed twice from 4 tries

After a layoff, he is 2 for 2

Won he’s last 2 races in open and group 1 company

Facing my top choice, he lost to Sierra Sue in September finished 3rd

He’s tough here and won off layoffs but he faces a good field again

 

R9 – Geoffrey Bellmaine Stakes Stakes Group 3

1 – Probabeel

26 starts 12 wins 8 placings

7 starts at the distance, 4 wins 1 placing

Loves Caulfield, 5 starts 4 wins only lost here was in a group 1 race facing the same horses in the group 1 race run before this race

Her barrier trial was a winning effort going 1050m in 1:01.47, useful

She’s won group 1 race and other group races

She appears to be ready for a winning effort vs this bunch

She will be back of the field and be flying at the end

Favorite

3 – Flying Mascot

10 starts 4 wins 3 placings

Never ran this distance before and has 1 start at Caulfield and placed

Off layoffs, 3 runs 2 wins 1 placing

A group 3 winner

Should be our pace setter and will need to set a slow pace to hold off my top choice, she should have company up front
