Caulfield R6 Schweppes (Bm84) 1440m

Selections:
#9 Verdad (BEST BET) - $2.45
#4 Marble Arch - $4.60
#5 Freak Of Nature - $7.00
#6 Regal Zeus - $7.00

BEST BET - #9 - Verdad - (BEST BET)
In strong form and has good claims to win on Wednesday. Last start was an almost win, finishing 2nd in a BM84 over 1400m at Sandown-Hillside. Racing well at the moment, so I like its chances.

THE DANGER - #4 - Marble Arch
Last start, beat Klabel (56kg) at Morphettville Parks over 1250m at the starting price of $2.15. That was a good win and I like Marble Arch on Wednesday too, especially with Mark Zahra on board from barrier 12.

VALUE BET - #5 - Freak Of Nature
I like the look of Freak Of Nature in Race 6 at Caulfield on Wednesday. Previously won at Sandown-Hillside over 1400m, carrying 56.5kg. That was a really good win, so I think Freak Of Nature should be tough to beat on Wednesday too.

Caulfield R7 Henley Homes (Bm78) 1100m

Selections:
#6 Nadal (NEXT BEST) - $3.40
#2 Beast Mode - $4.80
#4 Is It Me - $10.00
#5 Kin - $6.00

BEST BET - #6 - Nadal - (NEXT BEST)
Finished 4th on September 14 at Flemington after a spell. Should be fitter second-up and has won before over 1100m.

THE DANGER - #2 - Beast Mode
Beast Mode showed form on September 27 at Moonee Valley, placing 2nd out of 8 in a BM84 on a good track, just 0.5 lengths behind Holy Racket (55.5kg) with 56.5kg at $5.50. After that race, I think Beast Mode can potentially improve and possibly get the win this time. I think it could be a nice safe each way bet.

VALUE BET - #4 - Is It Me
Finished 4th on June 15 at Sandown-Hillside. That should be a good form guide for this race. Fourth-up should not be a problem for this horse.

Caulfield R8 Sportsbet Coongy Cup 2000m

Selections:
#8 Kingswood - $2.60
#4 Touristic - $6.50
#5 Too Close The Sun - $8.50
#1 Berkeley Square - $4.20

BEST BET - #8 - Kingswood
John Allen was on board the last run and won over 1800m at Sandown-Hillside. So I think that's a good form guide for Wednesday's race and should be tough to beat down the straight.

THE DANGER - #4 - Touristic
Last race, Touristic was 6th out of 7 at Newcastle on September 20 on a good track over 2300m, 4.9 lengths behind Etna Rosso (54kg) with 56kg at $5.50. But it should improve here. I think it could be a nice safe each way bet.

VALUE BET - #5 - Too Close The Sun
Ready to hit peak form now. Came 2nd last start at Benalla with J Mott in the saddle.

Multi Tips For Caulfield

On a day filled with fierce competition and horses that are pumped for the races, it's wise to approach multi betting with caution. I've leaned towards horses with favourable barriers, decent weights and in-form jockeys. These factors can often make a real difference in such tightly contested races. Check out my multi of the day below for an exciting bet to follow throughout race day!

Betting Sites Bonuses and Promotions

Wednesday racing comes to you from Caufield and Warwick Farm this week. It figures to be a busy week ahead for Caufield Racecourse as the Caulfield Cup is on this weekend. So this mid-week meeting should feature some quality races for punters to enjoy.

The Melbourne Cup is just a few weeks ago and Melbourne Cup betting sites around Australia are already getting prepped with horse racing promotions. If you would like to take advantage, I think Bet Right Australia is a great option. They’ve added a nice promo for Group one races as you can get a 15% bonus on winning bets until the Spring Racing Carnival ends. You won’t find a better promo than that at the moment.

Bet Right also offers a fun experience for racing punters, in my experience. There are a lot of unique features such as boosted odds and detailed form guides. The team has also designed an excellent and user-friendly app for popular mobile devices. Enjoy our free Wednesday racing tips every week!
