At $8 with Unibet Australia, Aeliana heads the market for the 2025 Caulfield Cup.
2025 Caulfield Cup Tips
2025 Caulfield Cup Best Bet - Aeliana
Her autumn grand final was the Australian Derby and Chris Waller had her trained to the minute, with the daughter of Castelvecchio bolting in with that feature.
Aeliana should've arrived to that 2400m event off a Group 1 Rosehill Guineas victory, but she atoned two weeks later and she's now been aimed at the spring.
She got stronger over autumn as the distances increased and with the Caulfield Cup an obvious target as an early four-year-old, Aeliana deserves favouritism.
2025 Caulfield Cup Next Best Bet - Vauban
While he's been talked about as a Melbourne Cup contender (again), does 2400m at Caulfield suit the seven-year-old more than a two mile contest?
Vauban saluted on stable debut for Waterhouse & Bott, where he took out the Sky High Stakes over 2000m and he was then unlucky in the Group 1 Tancred Stakes.
He's likely to carry a decent impost, but contenders up in the weights have a fair record in recent Caulfield Cup history and class should take him a long way.
2025 Caulfield Cup Value Bet - Statuario
The penny is starting to drop with Statuario, who was unlucky as a beaten fav in the South Australian Derby and he's likely to contest the Queensland Derby.
He headed to South Australia following a Galilee Series Final win, with that event contested over 2400m at Caulfield and he's middle-distance/stayer with a turn-of-foot.
Statuario is likely to firm in the Caulfield Cup market should he salute in the Queensland Derby and he's on the second of betting for that three-year-old feature.
