9 Chasing Aphrodite (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is worth a throw at the stumps in the opener. He resumes for Henry Dwyer, with his last run coming at Flemington on Anzac Day when on speed and tiring late behind Affluential. Given a good break and I have been taken by his jumpout work, so watch the market, but at odds, speck each way I say.

5 Gilden Water (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a very interesting runner. He looks a potential Cups horse that resumes for Ciaron Maher, having not raced since Jan 18 when a narrow second over 2400m at Rosehill to Tajanis. 1800m fresh I like, jumped out well…watch betting.

2 Chase Your Dreams (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a Team Hayes trained mare that resumes after a solid prep as a 3YO, which ended with a placing in the QLD Derby to Maison Louis. Trial work has been more than encouraging and she has a touch of quality about her.

Keen to butter up with 4 Gala Queen (Bet Now:  $SP.00). On face value, she was plain behind Bossy Benita two weeks ago here, but the race shape wasn’t to her liking and she was 1100m to 1400m. She now has that 1400m run under the belt and hard fit, I am keen.

If 1 On Display (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is here to play, she wins. But, given there are better races in store for her…is she here to play though? She hasn’t raced since the Adelaide Carnival where her finale was that of a Group l horse. I think she’ll get to an Empire Rose in time and her jumpout work…my goodness she has worked up a storm.

2 Anahita (Bet Now:  $SP.00) comes through the Bossy Benita race from two weeks back here. She got to near last in a race dominated on speed and although she made up headway, she was never really a winning threat. If she can settle closer and be within range, she has the finale to win.

15 Jenni The Fox (Bet Now:  $SP.00) for me. Three weeks between runs since resuming at The Valley when wide no cover throughout but she stayed on well and was a definite pass mark in defeat behind Takeko. Fitter and up in trip, serious weight relief, she only runs well.

13 Capper Thirtynine (Bet Now:  $SP.00) should take beating here for Nick Ryan, placing two weeks ago at this track/distance when chasing the speed and being second up, he didn’t have the fitness base to win but stayed on to run third to Home Rule. Hard fit now, he takes beating.

10 Zondee (Bet Now:  $SP.00) should be better for the first up run, which came three weeks ago over 1200m at The Valley where he just found them a bit sharp but he kept on and was good late behind Red Hot Nicc. Fitter and up to 1400m, bigger track, he only runs well.

I think 5 Interpretation (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is worth a throw at the stumps. He has been a hard horse to catch at times, but he is class when right and I have thought his trial work in Sydney has been more than encouraging and overall, this isn’t a deep contest.

13 Newlook (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is several weeks between runs since making his Aussie debut over the mile here. He just found them a bit sharp but didn’t mind the way he finished his race off in defeat behind El Rocko. Tick over trial last week was strong, he can threaten.

4 Berkeley Square (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is hard to beat with his best. He ran a few weeks back behind Relentless Voyager where he took forever to wind up but was solid enough late in the piece without threatening. Back to Caulfield should be fine and he has a reasonable record at the track.

5 River Of Stars (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a quality mare for Chris Waller that resumes. She had a two run Autumn prep and was far from disgraced each time she stepped out. Was down to resume in the Winx, then the Rowley Mile, but has been kept on ice, sent to Melbourne, trial work has been strong…like her.

11 Brayden Star (Bet Now:  $SP.00) should be better for the first up run, which came several weeks back at Flemington over 1400m. He got back in the run and while he was never a winning threat, he kept chasing and was pretty good late in the piece. Fitter, up in trip, he’s an improver, especially off his trial at Bendigo last week.

1 More Felons (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a very interesting runner. Chris Waller trained stayer that resumes, potentially with eyes towards the big 2400m+ races. He hasn’t raced since the 2024 Tancred when second to Kalapour. Has clearly had his issues but trialled up very well. Watch betting.

There was a bit to like about the win of 4 Jimmy Recard (Bet Now:  $SP.00) in the Vain from two weeks ago. He got a suck run just off the speed before getting inside splits and he got better as the race went on to win and win well. Fitter and up in trip, he only runs well I say.

7 Sonofkirk (Bet Now:  $SP.00) comes through the Vain from a fortnight back. He got back to near last in the run and was never a factor, not getting a whole lot of room in the straight when a close up fourth. Racing like he will eat up 1200m and be dangerous.

9 Duke Atriedes (Bet Now:  $SP.00) comes here for Team Archibald off the back of an impressive win at Sandown when leading throughout and he gave nothing else a look in, winning quite impressively. Good racing style, he is one of the leading contenders.

4 Mazu (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks ready to rock and roll for Joe Pride. He resumes, having not raced since the Doomben 10,000 when far from disgraced in defeat behind Sunshine In Paris after sitting on speed. Given a good break and his trial work to get ready has been outstanding.

2 Arkansaw Kid (Bet Now:  $SP.00) comes through the Regal Roller from two weeks ago. He got back in the run but tracked up with purpose and loomed to win when presented with clear air but just couldn’t quite get past Pop Award. Fitter, he takes beating.

1 Feroce (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is better suited over further but he has class on his side and class will carry him a long way. He resumes, having not raced since the Australian Cup when down the track behind Light Infantry Man. Jumpout work has been strong, watch betting.

Very keen to be involved here via 12 Miss Roumbini (Bet Now:  $SP.00). I think she’s a good thing. Loved the way she has jumped out in readiness for the return, she loves Caulfield, loves getting her toe…I don’t think Magic Time is here to play and much rather be with the Price/Kent mare, who is heading in an upward direction.

2 Magic Time (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has the runs on the board to be given respect. Is this a Grand Final for her? No, but she is a multiple Group l winner and given her overall record, she is very well in at the weights and is the class factor, by some distance…she can win if she’s ready. The late market will tell you if she’s ready.

6 Geegees Mistruth (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is a star mare from Tassie that is under the care of Te Akau while in Melbourne so I am keen to see how she goes on the main land. She was too good for them in Tassie but she did run well in Melbourne this time last year. Trials back home have been electric, keen to see how she goes.

1 Mr Brightside (Bet Now:  $SP.00) has far too many credits in the bank to pen off one poor run and a seemingly poor jumpout. The latest jumpout win has been well discussed and some are penning him off it. It can go either way. He is indeed cast and done. Or, which I am leaning, is that the stable cuddled him after Hong Kong and he needed a good hitout before his return. I think he’ll run a beauty.

11 Treasurethe Moment… (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is there such thing as trialling too good? Maybe. But my goodness she is jumping out like an absolute rocket for the return. This WFA crop, as a whole, are even, especially in Melbourne…the title is there to be taken and this girl could well be the one to claim it. Very keen to see her return.

2 Tom Kitten (Bet Now:  $SP.00) looks to be humming for Team Freedman. He resumes, having not raced since the Queen Elizabeth where he ran out of his skin when third to star mare Via Sistina. The boy turned into a man last prep and his trial work to get ready has been excellent.

8 Green Fly (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is four weeks between runs since racing over 1400m at Flemington when off speed and chased with purpose in the straight but couldn’t quite get there when a close up fourth to Zou Sensation. If he can be within range, he has the finale to be dangerous.

12 Home Rule (Bet Now:  $SP.00) won at this track/distance two weeks back, and the ride from Jaylah Kennedy was a peach. Hard fit horse that can sit on speed, she let the gelding roll and gave nothing else a look in to win and win well. Only has to hold her form to be around the mark.

9 Shock Em Ova (Bet Now:  $SP.00) is one of the more fascinating runners on the card. He looked a Caulfield Cup horse a couple of years but has been injury plagued. Hasn’t raced since June 2024 but his jumpout work this time in has been quite encouraging and his best is clearly good enough, so watch betting.
