The best three-year-old’s in the land go at it in the Caulfield Guineas with $1.2 million going to the winner. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 5:15pm (AEDT).
In a race that often determines the value placed on many of the future sires on show, filly Oohood comes out to match the boys and might enjoy the two kilo weight advantage she has over them.
Coming off a win in the Flight Stakes and if stripped fitter for this one, she is indeed a real danger.
This is a race not to be missed during the Spring Carnival and one of my favourite races of the year, considering the role many of the runners will play in the future breeding plans of owners and connections.
Golden Rose winner Autumn Sun is the undoubted horse to beat and looks likely to be odds-on come start time.
Leonardo Da Hinchi is a fantastically and unforgettably named horse in with an outside chance and Native Soldier, off the back of a victory in the Prelude should be somewhere in the mix.
Running out the mile may be the only query for it, yet if Darren Weir has him wound up and ready to fire, he could certainly produce a minor upset.
Kris Lee’s Gem Song, might be the best of the rest, yet the Guineas does look a race in four.
Prediction
It is hard to go past Autumn Sun, so I won’t. The biggest danger is probably Native Soldier. They are alongside each other in the gates and might be in close proximity for some time during the race. However, given a calm and uneventful run, Autumn Sun will prove too strong.
