Caulfield July 27th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Caulfield Race 7
2
Recommendation $1.50
Recommendation looks extremely hard to beat in the feature event on the program.
The Shalaa gelding won the Sir John Monash in a trot and a canter, and he meets a similar field here.
The step out to 1200m is advantageous, and he is drawn to perfection in barrier two.
The $1.50 quote is over the odds, and I suspect his rivals are running for the minor end of the prize.
Semillion can run a drum at double-figure odds.
His win at Newcastle earlier in the campaign was first-class, and he looks to be on an upward trajectory.
The talented four-year-old will roll forward from the middle gate, and if he can find the bunny uncontested, he may prove hard to run down.
He needs to put another win on the board!

Prinzerro $5.00

Tijuana $16.00/$4.00
Tijuana snatched defeat from the jaws of victory at his latest outing.
The American Pharoah gelding did all the donkey work throughout, and he looked home and hosed until the shadows.
The rising five-year-old strips fitter after a solid campaign, and he finds his preferred trip on Saturday.
I suspect he has recaptured his mojo, and I expect him to fight out the finish with even luck in transit.
Take on trust!
Elouyou will start favourite after producing an impressive campaign to date.
All runs have been full of merit, and the So You Think gelding was finally rewarded for his effort last start with a stunning victory at Rosehill.
The 56kg is a luxury; the big boy deserves his shot at this level.
His ability to find one better on race day is the primary concern.
QUADDIE
Q
$120 for 50%
It could be a three-horse war in the opening leg of the quaddie.
Bossy Nic, Prinzerro, and Wallenda are all knocking on the door, and I expect them to fight out the finish.
Recommendation has one hoof on the till in the Group 3 Bletchingly Stakes, while we have a handful of selections in the penultimate event.
