Caulfield August 16th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Caulfield Race 8
1
Private Eye $3.10
Private Eye is poised to strike.
His latest outing in the Group 1 Stradbroke Handicap was a beauty, and he finds a winnable assignment after a little freshen up.
The Al Maher gelding has the residual fitness from solid autumn and winter campaigns, and his recent barrier trials were first-class.
The current track conditions suit him to a tee, and I suspect he is on target for one last tilt at the biggest mountain of them all.
Risk at our own peril!
Here To Shock resumes after producing a career-best preparation.
The Shocking gelding won some serious races last campaign, and the form around him has stood up time and again.
His record at the trip must be respected, and he has been well supported in most all-in markets.
I’d prefer to support and promote him deeper into his spring campaign.

Losesomewinmore $5.00
Losesomewinmore is flying!
The All Too Hard gelding is chasing a hat-trick of victories, and the big boy looks extremely well placed in this company.
The significant drop in weight to 54kg is a luxurious, and he is ideally drawn in a middle gate.
The key appointment of Craig Williams speaks volumes, and I suspect he has the fitness edge on the majority of his more experienced and credentialed opponents.
How he handles the Caulfield circuit may decide his fate.
Royal Insignia resumes with an air of expectation surrounding him.
His best performance here would win this event in a canter, and the Written Tycoon entire has been turning heads recently at the trials.
Barrier one puts him into all winning conversations, and his camp are training winners for fun at present.
Meeting the older and more seasoned campaigners for the first time is his biggest challenge.
