Aeliana has surged to the top of the 2026 Caulfield Cup market, with Unibet Australia listing the Chris Waller galloper as the clear $6 favourite following a dominant return to form.

The mare has rediscovered her best over the autumn, recording two Group 1 wins in quick succession, with her most recent success coming over 2400m in the Tancred Stakes, while her Australian Derby triumph at Royal Randwick further underlined her staying credentials.

Green Spaces ($11) entered spring majors contention after a strong victory in the Australian Derby, where the Godolphin colt relished 2400m after building well with a runner-up finish in the Rosehill Guineas prior to his Group 1 success.

Half Yours ($12) completed a rare Caulfield Cup-Melbourne Cup double in 2025, with the high-class stayer continuing to hold a strong position in early markets despite currently being in the midst of a disappointing Queensland campaign.
