1. Jimmysstar — 59kg — Barrier 3
Why he can win

If the tempo collapses or he’s buried on the rail, he may need luck to wind up.

2. Evaporate — 59kg — Barrier 6

Flying this prep and brings strong Golden Eagle/Toorak lines; thrives off a solid tempo late.
Why he can’t win
Caulfield record only fair and may spot the favourite a dangerous head start.
Summary: Honest and strong late — predicted 3rd | $6.50 win / $2.35 place – Bet Here
3. Bosustow — 59kg — Barrier 4
Why he can win
Consistent Group performer who maps handy and loves 1400m.
Why he can’t win
Lacks the class of the top two and tends to peak earlier in campaigns.
Summary: Competitive but place best — predicted 5th | $41 win / $6.00 place – Bet Here
4. Pinstriped — 59kg — Barrier 2
Why he can win
Capable on his day and gets back to his preferred trip.
Why he can’t win
Winless this prep and looks outclassed at WFA level.
Summary: Needs everything to go right — predicted 6th | $61 win / $7.00 place – Bet Here
5. Angel Capital — 59kg — Barrier 5
Why he can win
Explosive turn of foot when he gets room and was unlucky in the Everest; bigger track suits.
Why he can’t win
Still learning at WFA level and faces a superstar favourite.
Summary: Big threat if the breaks come — predicted 2nd | $3.50 win / $1.40 place – Bet Here
6. Mighty Ulysses — 59kg — Barrier 1
Why he can win
Maps forward and can give cheek if they hand him a soft lead.
Why he can’t win
Out of form and hasn’t shown he’s up to this grade in some time.
Summary: Outsider for a reason — predicted 7th | $151 win / $13 place – Bet Here
7. Vinrock — 53kg — Barrier 7
Why he can win
Huge WFA pull as a 3yo and gets the perfect stalking run. Blinkers on — big intent.
Why he can’t win
Faces seasoned Group 1 runners and must improve sharply first time at open WFA.
Summary: Live knockout hope — predicted 4th | $13 win / $3.90 place – Bet Here
Best Bet
Jimmysstar ($1.85 / $1.22)
The standout on class, ratings, and setup. His Everest run was enormous, he profiles perfectly returning to Caulfield 1400m, and he maps to pounce off a genuine speed. If he gets a clear lane, he should be putting them away late – Bet Here
Value Play
Vinrock ($13.00 / $3.90)
The 3yo gets a massive WFA advantage and has the tactical speed to sit right behind the leaders. Blinkers on signal intent, and his Guineas run was better than it reads. He’s the one at double-figure odds capable of upsetting the apple cart – Bet Here
