Caulfield Tips July 26
Catanach's Jewellers Handicap Tips (Race 2)
Caulfield Favourite - Race 2 No. 11 Verdoux
This lightly raced four-year-old has firmed into favouritism early and with leading hoop Blake Shinn jumping off Pop Award, that's a solid lead for the resuming Verdoux.
While he's lacked maturity, the son of Trapeze Artist hasn't finished outside of the top two in five starts and the Dirty Grin form around his first metro appearance in April has stood up fairly well.
Verdoux went straight to the front and bolted in with a Kilmore jump-out on July 11, which was contested on a Heavy 10 track and he'll be prominent early from barrier one.
Sportsbet Feed Handicap Tips (Race 5)
Caulfield Roughie - Race 5 No. 12 Dobkins
I can entertain Electric Tommy if there's at a downgrade on the current Soft 5 surface, with the Freedman representative unbeaten on wet ground and he landed the cash for us in style at Geelong.
Dobkins was scratched from a wide draw at Sandown on Wednesday, where the step to 1400m appeared suitable, however, gate six allows to her settle closer in this assignment.
With an eye-catching debut victory followed up by a solid metro performance over this track/trip, where she beat a subsequent city winner, Dobkins has shown more ability than her bolters quote suggests.
Tobin Brothers Celebrating Lives Tips (Race 6)
Caulfield Value Bet - Race 6 No. 10 Delicate Lady
A handy McKeyla (Group placed) got the better of Delicate Lady on debut and at start two, she was third in a maiden taken out by Gala Queen (subsequent Listed winner).
Star Rapper (second) was a six-length winner last month, while Delicate Lady resumed with a slick maiden performance of her own when recording a 2.5-length victory at Bendigo on July 13.
There was a touch of arrogance to that recent success, where the three-year-old pulled away comfortably despite covering ground, while that Bendigo maiden rated well for the class and meeting.
Stow Storage Solutions Handicap Tips (Race 7)
Caulfield Next Best Bet - Race 7 No. 5 St Lawrence
With a good fresh record and a two-length trial win on June 11, St Lawrence was respected in the market ahead of his stable debut for Gavin Bedggood (ex-Ciaron Maher).
He was in restricted room at stages of a fast-run race, however, the Flemington return was still disappointing, but the second-up effort was sound when sixth-of-twelve here a fortnight ago.
That was his first time finishing outside of the top four at Caulfield, while now from a kinder draw and over a more suitable distance third-up, this is his best chance to strike for the new stable.
Big Screen Company Bletchingly Stakes Tips (Race 8)
Caulfield Best Bet - Race 8 No. 3 Baraqiel
The main knock is that Baraqiel is spotting race fitness to his main rivals, but he's the class sprinter of the 2025 Bletchingly Stakes and he's well placed against this field under WFA conditions.
Connections will be eyeing off stronger races later in the campaign (Manikato Stakes?), but he appears forward enough fresh off two encouraging jump-out's.
His blemishes have mainly been up the Flemington straight, with Baraqiel having won six of seven tires around a bend and the exception was an end of prep third when Nadal was Phar Lap for the day.
