Top 5 Early Insights

Too good again - Sacred Elixir impressed winning first-up in the Caulfield Guineas Prelude
We're treated to a feast of Group 1 racing this weekend at Caulfield, supported by the Group 1 Spring Champion Stakes up at Royal Randwick. Three competitive majors for the three-year-olds makes for exciting racing, unlike the Caulfield Stakes, which is an open and shut case for champion mare WINX.
The Race Guides for both meetings are on-line now and the team's top early insights are below.
No.1 Prefer it Local?
"The Sydney form-lines dominate both the Guineas and Thousand Guineas at Caulfield on Saturday, but there's always a risk those horses won't bring their best to the tricky Caulfield track. If you prefer to keep it local both SACRED ELIXIR (Guineas) and MISSROCK (Thousand Guineas) look like the way to go."
Bet on SACRED ELIXIR at $6 and MISSROCK at $11

No. 2 Over to you Glyn!
"Kathy O'Hara couldn't hold him and Blake Shinn drove him into dead-ends, now it's Glyn Schofield's turn to take over on PRIZED ICON this weekend. He's scored a Group 1 on the colt before and the horse is right at his peak now."

No. 3 Easy as 3, 1, 2
"The Caulfield Stakes will be interesting to watch with only two horses taking on the superstar WINX. At least the trifecta is a sure thing, WINX from BLACK HEART BART and HE OR SHE. It might pay $1.20 if you're lucky!"

No. 4 Rock Solid
"The Hayes stable has always had a big opinion HE'S OUR ROKKII and his recent form is living up to it. The way he hit the line last start makes him very hard to go past up to the mile."
Bet on HE'S OUR ROKKII now at $2.9

No. 5 Perfect 10?
"You wouldn't think drawing barrier 10 would be a good thing, but it's not a bad spot at all for DIXIE BLOSSOMS on Saturday. She's got one of her main rivals EXTENSIBLE drawn outside of her and the swooper LADY LE FAY could find traffic from barrier 3."
Bet on DIXIE BLOSSOMS now at $3.6
