Warren Huntly’s Saturday Caulfield Preview
Race 1
SHOCK ‘EM OVA doesn’t have a lot of early speed but he’s the horse with the most upside and looks suited stepping up to 1600m second up. ALWAYS HAPI has shown some tactical versatility of late but may end up back with Shock ’em Ova from the wide draw. BIG BREW is racing in good form and has been kept up to the mark with a jumpout between runs. STAR BUYER was a touch unlucky last time and gets right down in the weights. SACRED KIWI is racing well and can make his own luck.
Selections: 3,1,5,12
Suggested Bet: Shock ‘Em Ova to win
Race 2
WAHINE TOA generally performs well first up and has jumped out ok to kick off another campaign. FIRST IMMORTAL has to lump plenty of weight but he’s a promising stayer and had no luck at a crucial stage first up. FULL OF SINCERITY doesn’t look badly treated after the claim. He had excuses last time and his previous run behind Jimmy The Bear lines up well here. CHANDON BURJ (blinkers on), GARACHICO and SHE’S FIT have claims.
Selections: 8,2,1,9
Suggested Bet: Wahine Toa each way
Race 3
SERDAESS was far from disgraced behind some star sprinters in track record time at Moonee Valley and should appreciate the extra trip. RED CARD is building and impressive record and will prove hard to run down. BELLE ET RICHE may be better suited over further but will be strong late. DAZZLING LUCY was good in a strong race first up but front bar plates going on raise some queries.
Selections: 9,1,4,6
Suggested Bet: Seradess each way
Race 4
NUNTHORPE improved nicely to score second up and should secure a nice run near the speed. LACED UP HEELS covered ground in a stronger race last start and battled on well under the circumstances. OUR RED MORNING could be unbeaten since joining the Eurell stable, she takes another rise in grade but is open to further improvement. YELLOW SAM chased strongly over this course and distance behind Nunthorpe last time and gets a weight advantage.
Selections: 4,1,8,11
Suggested Bet: Nunthorpe each way
Same Race Multi: Nunthorpe (Top 2) + Laced Up Heels (Top 3)
Race 5
MIRACLE OF LOVE came a long way in her first preparation and has trialled well to resume. King Colorado has run well against strong company to frank that Queensland form. ZOUKERETTE caught the eye behind Charm Stone first up and looks suited stepping up to 1400m. TREASURWAY is unknown at 1400m but jumped out impressively leading into her luckless first up run. POIFECT has jumped out in good style since her impressive debut win. There wasn’t much between ENNA’S DREAM and SUBRISING last time and both have a case.
Selections: 6,4,1,15
Suggested Bet: Miracle Of Love to win
Race 6 
Should be good speed which might help offset any disadvantage from wider draws. AMENABLE was terrific without much luck behind our best WFA horses last time. He swaps winkers for blinkers and looks the one to beat. BANDERSNATCH was sound in the same race as Amenable and gets winkers on. SAVANNAH CLOUD will strip fitter third up and is probably looking for 1400m now. HERE TO SHOCK, UMGAWA and CORNER POCKET have claims.
Selections: 10,1,6,8
Suggested Bet: Amenable to win
Race 7
Good race. STEPARTY controlled the race to win first up at Moonee Valley and is still largely untapped. VEIGHT sprinted well to win first up and maps for a good run. He should relish the step up to 1400m. SCENTIFY chased well behind Steparty and should appreciate the rise in distance. SCHEELITE is another that looks suited at 1400m and has jumped out nicely between runs. You could make cases for LITTLE BROSE, SOUTHPORT TYCOON and SNOW PATROL in a deep race.
Selections: 3,2,6,5
Suggested Bet: Playing multiples around 3,2 & 6
Race 8
BERKELEY SQUARE was a horror watch last time. With blinkers first time and what should be a more genuine tempo he should get his chance to run to his best. FLOATING ARTIST has been afforded a tick over jumpout between runs after winning well second up. ALASKAN GOD is in the game if he gains a start. THE SUMMIT is having a good campaign and is drawn for a good run stepping up to 2000m. HEZASHOCKA, GOLDMAN and BEAR STORY are among the other chances.
Selections: 12,3,17,14
Suggested Bet: Berkeley Square each way
Race 9
ATTRITION will need some luck from the draw but the likely solid tempo will suit and he’s shaping as though he will appreciate stepping up to 1800m. ALLIGATOR BLOOD will be part of the speed and strip fitter on the back up from last week. WITHOUT A FIGHT is likely to get his preferred firm ground and has been trialling well since his dominant Brisbane campaign. SOULCOMBE returned to his spectacular best last start in an easier race but looks capable of measuring up. LINDERMANN will strip fitter third up and looks set for a good run on the speed.
Selections: 14,2,8,10
Suggested Bet: Attrition each way
Race 10
SHE DANCES has jumped out in typically good style and the wider draw may not be a disadvantage by this time of the day from the chute start. BACCHANALIA brings some strong form lines from his last campaign and appeared to have plenty to offer in a quiet trial recently. ROSE QUARTZ has jumped out well and should strike her preferred firm ground. MIDWEST will be part of the speed and strip fitter second up. VIVIANE is fit, flying and will make her own luck. GENERATION drops in grade and was in slightly inferior ground first up.
Selections: 16,3,11,4
Suggested Bet: She Dances each way
