Midweek racing comes from Caulfield’s inner Heath track, which will be rated good.
Best Bet
San Marino has improved out of sight – as most horses do – since joining the John Leek camp and he should have finished much closer at Flemington last time but for being held up at a critical time in the straight. With even luck he can go very close here.
Recommended Price: $5.00
Confidence Level: 4/5

Phoenix Legend looks primed for a winning debut here. Trainer Nick Ryan never asks for too much from his horses in jumpouts and his recent work under very little pressure was excellent. From barrier three, Mark Zahra should give him the perfect run.

Confidence Level: 4/5
The Secret finds a much weaker race to debut in. The filly hit the line really well under not much pressure in her most recent hit out at Cranbourne, being asked for much less than her rivals. Just needs some luck from the wide draw to be very competitive.
Recommended Price: $7.00
Confidence Level: 3/5
Castellar drops in class from a good race at Flemington over the carnival. He was a terrific winner at Pakenham prior to that. The good barrier and the booking of Mark Zahra are both big ticks.
Recommended Price: $5.50
