2024 Caulfield Cup Tips
2024 Caulfield Cup Best Bet - Buckaroo
The extra distance is an obvious query for Buckaroo, however, he's been a completely different horse since being gelded ahead of this spring campaign.
He recorded back-to-back victories recorded second and third-up, and the last of those was a brilliant 3.5-length triumph in the Group 1 Underwood Stakes at Caulfield.
It's worth noting that 15 of the last 36 Caulfield Cup winners have come via the Turnbull Stakes and he was only narrowly denied by Via Sistina in that key lead-up race.
While Buckaroo is near the top of the weights, he's still very well in given he's carrying much less off recent WFA runs and there isn't a big spread among this line-up.
I suspect that she would be a little outclassed in a strong running of the Caulfield Cup, but Positivity has just 50kg in one of the weaker editions we've seen.
Her lead-up form is hard to fault, with an unlucky miss when runner-up on return before taking out the Naturalism and she was then good without favours third-up.
In a Bart Cummings that favoured the on-speed runners, Positivity was back and covering ground, and she couldn't have done much more under the circumstances.
Four-year-old's have a great record in the Caulfield Cup (14 of the last 30 winners) and with a mare who will stay all day, they should be more positive early with a low weight.
This Ciaron Maher-trained import seems back on track for a Melbourne Cup bid, with a more encouraging second-up performance following a plain 1600m resumption.
Aside from the first-up Makybe Diva Stakes flop, Circle Of Fire has hardly put a hoof wrong and the entire will be suited up in distance third-up off the fair Turnbull Stakes showing.
The son of Almanzor lacked the brilliance to threaten over 2000m, however, he did spike third-up last campaign at 2600m before backing-up to win the Sydney Cup.
Circle Of Fire was the Melbourne Cup futures fav after that 3200m Randwick triumph, where he pulled away for a comfortable victory despite covering ground over two miles.
