SATURDAY - Trackwalker + Best Bet

Here is the predicted track pattern for Caulfield on Saturday together with our best bet for the meeting.

TRACK

Good 4

TRACKWALKER

Terrific grass cover and should play fairly in terms of lanes but we are forecasting a small advantage to on speed runners providing no rain arrives. The forecast is up to 3mm, which is fine but much more and the inside lanes could chop out as day progresses. We are working on a good 4 for the whole day

BARRIERS

1200M OR LESS – Chute start with only one turn into the straight making barriers of little importance

1400m – Has its own chute situated on a bend making runners that are drawn wide disadvantaged unless the rail is off. The strike rate of on speed runners at this distance increases.

SHINNY @CAULFIELD

Blake Shinn’s Caulfield strike rate is 30% since his return to Melbourne

NIC ASHMAN TIP

Race 2 No.6 GIN MARTINI $4

"The race shape last start just didn't suit her. She likes to roll but instead they went so slow the winner, King Frankel, ran the fastest last 200m of the day. Good Idea should lead this and Gin Martini will camp on his hindquarters. Can't see her missing top 3 if you're looking for an a multi anchor"
