2020 Caulfield Guineas Tips, Preview & Best Bets

Held at Caulfield racecourse, the 2019 edition was as exciting as ever with Alligator Blood looking home and hosed, before Colt Super Seth came with a barnstorming run down the outside to cement his spot as stud.

This year, the Sydney 3YO's looks to be the strongest, but some unexposed form from Victoria could very well come to the fore.

I could not believe this horse came up at $51 in early markets, but that has now been snapped up into $21.

His first-up run at Mornington was full of merit, coming from the back of the field on a day where no horses were making up ground.

He ran some of the fastest splits of the day and proved that was no fluke by putting a smart field to the sword at Sandown just over a week later.

He was sent straight to the paddock in preparation for a campaign that will see him end up in this race, and with some positive runs in the campaign, he could potentially start single figures if he keeps improving.

This Sydney 3YO is untapped and is yet to be tested against the big boys, but if his last win was anything to go by, he is most certainly up to Group One standard.

We are yet to know whether 1400m is as far as he wants, but his preparation will likely lead to a Golden Rose, where if he can win that, he will come down to the Guineas for a crack at his second Group One.

Hawkes racing know how to train a 3YO to win races, and this bloke will be no exception this Spring.

His first-up run for the prep will tell us more of where he is at in respect of Group One targets.

A 3YO from the John McArdle stable who bolted in at Sandown just three weeks ago.

He looked to have a world of potential, but just needs to learn his racing manners to allow him to run out 1400m-1600m comfortably.

The word before that race was 'he is a star' and his post race comments were 'he could be anything'.

Assuming he takes on Saturday grade before black type, he will need to show his manners have improved to be chance in a Group One, but his talent alone is exciting and he will have a lot of fans based off that effort.
