The Toorak Handicap is run over the famous mile with A$500,000 on the line and a Group One title. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 3:45pm (AEDT).

With 18 runners lining up in the Toorak, get ready for some push and shove at Caulfield.

Jungle Cat comes off a Randwick win and looks to be in the top three of four for this race quite comfortably.

One of its key challengers will be the consistent Hartnell. Rarely out of the money James Cummings’ champ had a last start win in the Epsom that tells every one all they need to know.

There is also some better value further down the field with Waging War and Muraaqeb not without some hope.

If the decent gates they have drawn play some role in their ability to access an early position in the race, both could feature in the finish.

Land of Plenty looks a likely third in the race after having no luck in recent starts and now fourth up in this preparation, should be just about as fit as he will get.

There are significant whispers for I Am a Star with Dwayne Dunn on board and a recent victory at Moonee valley caught the eye.

The odds will be juicy for the mare despite the poor barrier and many will throw a little her way in the hope of an upset.

Prediction
Both Hartnell and Jungle Cat carry significant weight in comparison to the others and will be relying on their class to get the job done.

Something with a light weight will be flashing home. Working out which one it will be is the toughest thing in this Toorak.

1. Hartnell
