Caulfield Cup 2024 Preview

Track: Good 4 Weather: Showers

Another hard race to sort. Buckaroo is flying this prep. Hard to knock and brings plenty of upside and class to the field. There is huge wraps on Eliyass by the stable. Flying but will need a peach from barrier 21. Zardozi bounced back to form last start and was unlucky not to have won on protest. Deny Knowledge beat Mr Brightside fair and square and is on the quick back up. Huge hope. Land Legend also is in the mix.

2024 Caulfield Cup Runner by Runner

1. Kalapour (4)

Can’t have.

2. Buckaroo (8)

Hard to knock and has really come in leaps and bounds this prep. Goes very well with Moreira aboard and 1/1 on this track. Looks very hard to stop.

3. Circle Of Fire (13)

May want further than this but is a class act and will stay all day. Wouldn’t shock.

4. Warp Speed (19)

Can’t have.

5. Huetor (7)

Needs to lift on current form.

6. Warmonger (16)

Can’t have.

7. Eliyass (21)

Very promising import who was huge last start. The stable have big wraps on him. The draw makes things tough but Clark rides and certainly can win.

8. Land Legend (1)

Big win last start and this import is still putting it together since coming down under. May need luck from barrier 1 but warrants thought.

9. Young Werther (10)

Can’t have.

10. Duke De Sessa (6)

Racing in good fashion and can land in a prominent spot from the good draw. Goes close.

11. Knight’s Choice (14)

Can’t have.

12. Muramasa (5)

Prefer others.

13. Zardozi (12)

Unsure how it lost the protest last time out. I was keen on her chances and sticking thick with the 4yo Mare who will be set to peak for this. Expect another big run.

14. Coco Sun (20)

Can’t have.

15. Deny Knowledge (17)

Beat home Mr Brightside last time out and that form must read well for this. Drawn wide but comes into this with large claims.

16. Valiant King (18)

Can’t have.

17. Positivity (9)

Prefer others.

18. Sayedaty Sadaty (2)

Going well enough and drawn to settle into a good spot. Looks well placed.

19. Fancy Man (3)

Can’t have.

20. Berkshire Breeze (15)

Prefer others.

21. Francesco Guardi (11)

This looks too tough.
