Caulfield November 29th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Caulfield Race 8
13
Alalcance $4.20
Alalcance is ready to win.
Both performances this campaign have been good without threatening, and I suspect she has been trained to the minute for her third-up assignment.
The Mastercraftsman mare was a revelation during the autumn, and her best performance here would prove fences and panels better than her rivals.
The Gai Waterhouse factor must be respected, and she comes in extremely well under the weight scale.
Hard to toss over her pet distance!
She’s A Hustler is racing well at present.
The Ace High mare hasn’t missed a top two finish since the moon-landing, and her recent effort at Flemington was first-class.
The big girl is ready for the longer trip, and she should be rock-hard fit after a lengthy campaign.
I fear this event may be an afterthought.

Detonator Jack $4.20
Detonator Jack has one hoof on the till.
The Jakkalberry gelding savaged the line at his latest outing, and he put the writing on the wall for a next-start victory.
A middle gate gives his inform pilot multiple options in-transit, and the flood of early money speaks volumes.
The consistent seven-year-old looks well placed in this company, and a victory here would be great reward for effort.
His recent winning record is the primary concern.
Kingswood fought off the fast-finishing Saint George and a protest at Flemington on Melbourne Cup day.
It was pleasing return to the winners’ circle for the camp, and the resilient galloper has now claimed three victories out of his past seven outings.
He finds his favourite trip on Saturday, and he meets the usual suspects.
The grandstand weight is the primary concern.
Best Roughie - Caulfield Race 6
6
Sketch $13.00/$4.00
Sketch is over the odds.
The Brazen Beau filly looks progressive, and she deserves her shot at this level.
Her form around the VRC Oaks winner reads well for this event, and I suspect the seven-furlong trip is her best racing distance.
The key booking of Craig Williams speaks volumes, and the inside draw puts her into all winning conversations.
Acid test!
Jenni Gone Bonkers will start a short-priced commodity.
The Maurice filly was a dominant last-start winner at Pakenham, and the talented three-year-old looks ready to climb through her grades successfully over the coming months.
An inside draw is advantageous, and I expect her to jump in the red.
The significant class rise and skinny quote are among the primary concerns.
