Best Bets – Saturday 19th October

The time honoured Caulfield Cup is one of the toughest tests over 2400m. This year sees a very even field with a compressed weight scale that makes it even harder to assess. Decided to have something on the import SAYEDATY SADATY. Last start Group 3 placed at Goodwood (UK) and prior he had ran well in an English Derby. Class will take him a long way.

ESTRIELLA should prove hard to roll in the Millennium Sprint. Drawn ideally on the fence, she should be able to hold the lead or camp just off them. Look for her to accelerate on straightening and give them something to chase home.

CIGAR FLICK has performed well first-up in the past winning twice and this four-year-old mare looked ready to perform again fresh after running second in a Gold Coast trial recently. Should prove hard to beat here.

STORYVILLE won convincingly at Bunbury first-up and looks to have plenty of upside. Is coming to town for the first time but she will sure to have taken further benefit from that outing and looks to be one to beat here in the first.
