Saturday Racing Tips - Caulfield 31/08/24

Spring is often a key period in the calendar for all involved in Victorian horse racing and once again this weekend, there is a stellar card of action for punters to get stuck into at Caulfield.

Huge names line the field in the Memsie Stakes, which should be a frenetic Group 1 contest but there are heaps of other excellent races on the card.

With 10 races to be run and won,  OnlyRacing are on hand to help keep punters firmly in the loop.

(Note: Odds provided by Picklebet)

Selections:
2. Recommendation - $2.30
1. Kallos - $3.50
3. Chain Of Lightning - $5.50

BEST BET - Recommendation - $2.30
A two-race winning streak heading into this race looks to be the perfect preparation for Recommendation who looks set to live its up to its name in this one, especially with course and distance wins this season already.

THE DANGER - Kallos - $3.50
It has been the best part of 5 months since Kallos has been seen on the track, with a winter break inevitable but it remains a very high quality horse and with conditions sure to suit here, it will be firmly in the mix.

VALUE BET - Chain Of Lightning - $5.50
There are plenty who could force their way into contention here and Chain Of Lightning looks to be the pick of the bunch. Pace is the key question mark but if it becomes an open contest, don't rule out this one.

Selections:
1. Growing Empire - $2.30
3. Stay Focused - $3.50
4. Astapor - $8.00

BEST BET - Growing Empire - $2.30
Ciaron Maher always has some impressive flyers and Growing Empire is a key part of his stable. A lengthy break ahead of this one will raise a few question marks but Growing Empire is an absolute flyer.

THE DANGER - Stay Focused - $3.50
A drop in form and a minor injury doubt has hampered the progress of Stay Focused over the past 12 months but form was superb prior to that and if it can be rekindled, it should be in the hunt here.

VALUE BET - Astapor - $8.00
Blake Shinn saddles up on board Astaspor, a horse with lots of potential and whilst on paper a win here would look a bit tough, mixing it in the placing spots is certainly a possibility.

Selections:
7. Pride Of Jenni - $2.60
1. Mr Brightside - $2.90
3. Gentleman Roy - $8.00

BEST BET - Pride Of Jenni - $2.60
The hotly anticipated return of Pride Of Jenni is the headline act here and it should be flying out of the tracks. Competition is strong but it remains one of the best horses on the planet and it can adapt to most situations.

THE DANGER - Mr Brightside - $2.90
Battles between Mr Brightside and Pride Of Jenni dominated the Australian racing scene at the back end of 2023 and they look primed and ready to go again, with Brightside sure to be raring to go.

VALUE BET - Gentleman Roy - $8.00
The top two in the betting will generate plenty of attention, meaning Gentleman Roy could sneak under the radar a touch but it is a horse in form and it shouldn't be discarded.
