Group One Winners @ Caulfield

Published: 09 Oct 2015

A punter's favourtie - Stratum Star has the will to win and is sure to be in the finish

The feature racing has hit Caulfield this weekend and there will be excitement both on the track and off.

Punters around Australia are flicking through their Race Guides trying to find a winner, while the Bookies are watching the market, wary of that big betting plunge.

The Race Guide's analyst team aims up at the four big Group Ones to help you get in-front of the bag-men. Backing reliable types is a smart strategy that takes advantage of the extra value on offer.

Caulfield Stakes

Chris Waller has already shown his dominance in the Turnbull Stakes, Preferment and Royal Descent stamping the form-line of KERMADEC in the process.

He could be one of the stars of the Spring Carnival, a strong type with a devastating finishing surge over 1,600 metres.

CRITERION is the threat if he is anywhere near his best first-up.

The Bet: $100 on KERMADEC at $3 with Luxbet, including a bonus bet of $100 if he runs a place

Toorak Handicap

Darren Weir is a marvel, the southern version of Waller, without quite so many horses in work!

He brings two street-fighters to this Group One mile race, the ever-improving LUCKY HUSSLER and tough STRATUM STAR, who ran well in the lead-up Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes.

Both consistent types, they are likely to collect the bonus bet, if not the win.

The Bet: Each-way on STRATUM STAR at the better odds of $7 with CrownBet, or $100 to win at $6.50 with Luxbet, with a $100 bonus bet if he runs a place

Experienced handicapper - Lucky Hussler is an evergreen performer from the Darren Weir stable

Thousand Guineas

Size doesn't matter when you have a heart as big as this filly. PASADENA GIRL is a tiny horse with a big big motor.

She was in the wrong spot in the Thousand Guineas Prelude and still managed 5th, the furthest back she's finished in her short career.

The Bet: $100 on PASADENA GIRL at $4.2 with CrownBet, including a bonus bet of $100 if she runs a place (..again!)

Caulfield Guineas

PRESS STATEMENT has the class to win, but he's far from reliable out in the 'visitor's draw'.

After the winnings collected from the first three Group One's, lets focus in on a chance at bigger odds.

TARZINO is a proper racehorse with the ability maintain a long finishing surge to the line; a quality that could make the difference in what is sure to be a high pressure race.

The Bet: $100 on TARZINO at $14 with CrownBet, including a bonus bet of $100 if he runs a place
