Show Preview

The Caulfield Stakes is one of the best weight for age contests in the land and has $1 million prize pool to be shared as the spoils. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 4:35pm (AEDT).

With horses eyeing off different upcoming races and with weight for age providing a different challenge to the handicap conditions they will face in them, some of these might struggle over the 2,000 metres.

Chris Waller arrives, confident with D’Argento and gets a kilogram on some of the other key contenders.

Blair House is a little unproven on Australian soil and that will be the key question for it in this race, whilst Night’s Watch might be one of those who suffers under the weight.

Humidor comes off victory in the Memsie Stakes and a solid run in the Underwood that both suggest he is in good form and a real chance in this one.

Benbatl draws well in one and could be thereabouts for Saeed Bin Suroor. Aidan O’Brien’s runner The Cliffsofmoher is also something of a hope if international form is anything to go by.

Waller’s second runner in the race Unforgotten gets in with only 56 kilograms and is a hot tip leading into the race.

Homesman isn’t without a hope after a surprising win in the Underwood Stakes and should be fitter for the run.

It looks to be one of the toughest betting races of the day with 5/1 looking like a possible starting price for the favourite, whichever horse that ends up being.

Prediction
Humidor is class, yet will be challenged by D’Argento with James McDonald on board.

Unforgotten could scare the heck out of them all with its weight and there probably won’t be a clear winner until the race enters its final moments.

A cracking contest with some international mystery runners to add to the intrigue.
