Gerard Twomey IASbet Expert Racing Analysis
Caulfield sets alight the Spring carnival with three group Ones and an excellent 9 race card. IASbet expert racing analyst, Gerard Twomey previews all the action.

CAULFIELD GUINEAS

“This looks a quality Guineas. Toorak Toff is a genuine winning chance however I just feel that his price is a touch unders. There’s no doubting his class, but some of his rivals also have good credentials. One of those is Ilovethiscity who looked impressive wining over the mile last time and was very unlucky in the Golden Rose. Masquerader is the horse I quite like given his nice price. The blinkers go on which he’ll definitely appreciate, he’s drawn well and can run a bold race here.”

“I’ve got a big opinion of Rekindled Interest, he’s completely untapped.  In his last three races he’s run the best sectionals but has been unsuited by the tempo. He’s desperate to get out to the mile no and has the acceleration to finish hard in this race. Hopefully there’s a nice tempo which he needs.”

YALUMBA STAKES

“This really looks to be a race between the obvious favourites So You Think and Whobegotyou, who are both having their preliminary run before the Cox plate. Given the small field, we expect this to be an intriguing tactical battle. So You Think will land in front of Whobegotyou, the question is whether Whobe can outsprint him. He did win this event last year, but it was hardly a vintage field, and So You Think will present a greater challenge than Heart Of dreams last year. Hard to be too enthused about the other runners.”

TOORAK HANDICAP

“Bit surprised that More Joyous didn’t tackle the stars in the Yalumba, as I think that race at Weight For Age might have suited her better. She’s a bit vulnerable in this under handicap conditions, but is certainly a winning chance. Spacecraft is absolutely flying. He’s drawn awkwardly in barrier 13, but with some luck he’ll be hard to hold out. Interestingly his sectionals two starts ago at the Valley were better than Hay List. He’s going super. Drumbeats has been set for this race. He bypassed the Epsom last week and looks set to run a big race third up now.”

Form analysts at IASbet believe that the Peter Snowden trained superstar Denman is vulnerable in Saturday’s Group One Australian Guineas and are prepared to take him on.

While other bookmakers and the TAB have him between $1.55 and $1.65, IASbet is willing and able to lay him at $1.80. “It’s not a foregone conclusion, there is rain forecast and the race may well be set up for horses to run over him.

I expect Denman to lead from his outside barrier and it may not be an advantage to be on the rail” said IASBet’s John Dow. The son of Lonhro has won nine of his last ten with his only defeat being at the same distance in the Caulfield Guineas. “I think history is about to repeat itself.” said Dow.

The Melbourne Spring Carnival really heats up this weekend with the Group 1 Age Caulfield Guineas at (where else but?) Caulfield. The prize money totals $1,000,000 which makes the Caulfield Guineas one of the premier 3 year old races in Australia. The history of the race is filled with top class winners who went onto better things, such as Lonhro, Weekend Hussler and last year’s winner, Whobegotyou.

The field this year is sure to contain some stars in the making, indeed, some such as Denman, can almost claim “star” status already. Denman is currently favourite with Betfair at $2.80. It might be a little unbelievable, but he is probably a good bet at those odds. He has won his past six races, including the Group 1 Golden Rose. If the bad weather continues he will also have the advantage of winning on a heavy track before. The only doubt that should be considered is that this will be his first race at Caulfield.

Denman will be facing some tough competition though; none tougher than the Gai Waterhouse trained Manhattan Rain ($5.00). The colt may not have won as many races as Denman, but his record has been fantastic. He won the Group 1 Sires Produce Stakes and finished third in the AAMI Golden Slipper earlier this year. His form of late has not been disappointing, finishing third in the prelude to this race last month.

Trusting finished second in the same prelude, and is currently second favourite with Betfair at $4.85. He only started racing in July this year, but he already has a group win under his belt in the Group 2 Warwick Stakes. He has some very tough competition in this race however, but he is not at all without a chance.

If you’re searching for some value, look no further than Carrara. Surprisingly the Tony Vasil colt is at $21.00, despite having excellent form in listed races around Melbourne.

This race is always packed with class, and this year is no exception. I think it will be a very close race, but it would be almost criminal to go against Denman’s form. I am a big fan of Manhattan Rain, so he’s in my top three. I’m also willing to invest a little faith in So You Think ($9.00), who is inexperienced, but promising. And as I mentioned before, for value, go with Carrara.

My Tips:

Denman

Manhattan Rain
