Caulfield - Race 1 - HKJC World Pool Handicap - 1100m

Selections:
7. Tonkin - $3.20
5. Samangu - $4.00
3. Pondalowie - $4.20

BEST BET - Tonkin - $3.20
Form is key at this level and Tonkin remains very much in the nick of its life. This horse has won two of its last three starts for the Freedmn yard and with pace to burn, it could tear up this field in the opener at Caulfield.

THE DANGER - Samangu - $4.00
Graeme Begg puts his hat into the ring with Samangu, a horse that has always shown up well, regardless of the racing conditions. Overcoming Tonkin would be a serious statement and this horse can't be discarded in this company.

VALUE BET - Pondalowie - $4.20
It has been a slow return to action for Pondalowie this season but there is no doubting the potential or the pedigree of this horse. There has been nothing of late to suggest it is ready to win here but writing it off completely feels dangerous.

Caulfield - Race 7 - Futurity Stakes - 1400m

Selections:
1. Mr Brightside - $2.00
2. I Wish I Win - $5.00
3. Pericles - $11.00

BEST BET - Mr Brightside - $2.00
Following a very solid run last time out, Mr Brightside arrives here at Caulfield, ready to push on for further Group 1 glory. There are some excellent horses in this one but Mr Brightside is the headline act and it looks ready to deliver.

THE DANGER - I Wish I Win - $5.00
The return of I Wish I Win is catching plenty of attention in the build up to this one and whilst it hasn't been in action for the best part of 5 months, it is always a candidate in a race like this.

VALUE BET - Pericles - $11.00
Similarly, Pericles returns to the fray following a lengthy layoff and it will be fascinating to see how it goes. It won so impressively last time out at Rosehill and it will be looking for a repeat showing here.

Caulfield - Race 9 - Oakleigh Plate - 1100m

Selections:
15. She's Bulletproof - $5.00
2. Estriella - $6.50
5. Rey Magnerio - $9.00

BEST BET - She's Bulletproof - $5.00
Craig Williams gets the hoop on She's Bulletproof in this one at Caulfield and it is a horse bang in form. Two wins and two placings from its last 4 outings are a huge indicator of where this horse is at and it looks ready to kick on again in this one.

THE DANGER - Estriella - $6.50
Ciaron Maher winds up Estriella once more for the season ahead and there is a genuine sense of optimism surrounding the return of this horse. It could be a touch rusty over 1100m but is has speed to burn and could return with a win.

VALUE BET - Rey Magnerio - $9.00
Arguably the form offering here is Rey Magnerio, who won so impressively here over course and distance just two weeks ago and whilst this is tougher company, a repeat showing would make it very hard to beat.
