Caulfield October 10th, Tips and Previews
Best Bet - Caulfield Race 7
6
Sheza Alibi $1.35
Sheza Alibi strides out to 2000m for the first time.
Her victory in the Group 1 Makybe Diva was sensational, and she looks well placed in the company.
The Saxon Warrior mare is building a near-perfect racing career, and her effort fresh behind Autumn Glow reads well for this event.
She handles all conditions, and she only has to produce near her best to win on Saturday.
Short enough in the market, however, she is a star!
Birdman was ultra-impressive in the Group 1 Underwood Stakes.
The Free Eagle gelding dropped on the field as heads turned for home, and the fat lady was in full voice before the final furlong.
The obvious danger to the short-priced commodity, and his record on the journey, must be respected.
The grandstand weight may prove decisive.

Changing Colours $9.00/$3.00
Changing Colours is over the odds.
The Autumn Sun mare is winning for fun at present, and she has been progressing through her grades superbly this campaign.
The progressive six-year-old deserves her shot at Group 1 glory, and a victory here would be a great reward for effort for her and her talented trainer, Lucy Yeomans.
The 52kg puts her into all winning conversations, and her record at the trip must be respected.
The awkward gate and significant class rise are among the primary concerns.
Warnie is ticking along nicely.
The Highland Reel gelding was a brilliant winner two starts back at Sandown in a red-hot field, and he was good without threatening at the elite level at his latest outing.
The 57kg won’t pose any issues, and the big boy will be savaging the line late from another suburb.
His racing pattern and style always require an element of good fortune.
