Back Me: Gracious Prospect is yet to win from eight starts but has been racing against some very good horses. Finds a much easier race here and should be winning.
Don’t Back Me: Great De Here won well on debut but is coming out a poor quality Geelong Synthetic race and the step up in class here should be too tough.
Big Danger: Throw The King ran well on debut in a decent form race and will improve from that run and looks the biggest danger to our on top selection.
Roughie:Inafrenzy made up good ground late last start and looks the best value runner in the race.

Race Three: Wayne Beauglehole Hcp 1600m Form Guide
Back Me: Cosmic Causeway loves Caulfield were he is yet to miss a placing. Has to carry the top weight but his form has stacked up and will be hard to beat.
Don’t Back Me: Under The Eiffel will carry 59.5kg and has only won once at Caulfield and at the distance. His odds have shortened into an unbackable price i feel.
Big Danger: Blackie looked to have the race won last start until he was run down late, should go close again.
Roughie: De Fine Lago ran well in a good form race last start will be better second up and could surprise with a win at good odds.

Race Five: Elizabeth S Marshall Hcp 1100m Form Guide
Back Me: Dee Bee Nine hit the line strongly at Morphettville last start and will drop 6kg from that run. Will jump at decent odds and looks a very good bet.
Don’t Back Me: It Is Written is yet to win at Caulfield from three tries and has found a tough field to change that on Saturday.
Big Danger: Pago Rock is a very lightly raced runner who looks well placed here and Chad Schofield will give him every chance.
Roughie: Cardinal Virtue despite carrying the top weight looks well weighted, he has shown he is a very good runner and can be backed each way at double figure odds.

Race Six: Melinda Rea Hcp 1600m Form Guide
Back Me: Ephemera had no luck at Warrnambool last start when she should have won. Her two starts before that were very good and the mile should suit. Looks great odds in the race as well.
Don’t Back Me: Benenden has been disappointing at her two starts this preparation and will need to turn things around in a big way if she is to win here.
Big Danger: Nautical was scratched from the Laelia Stakes to race here which looks to be an easier assignment, lightly raced and will take beating.
Roughie: Rosscarbery didn’t have any luck last start and should have finished closer, his Sydney form before that wasn’t too bad and Cummings can turn them around.

Race Seven: Peter Street Hcp (89) 2000m Form Guide
Back Me: Fulgur looks the winner in this race. He has finished off very well his two starts this preparation and is weighted well against a poor field.
Don’t Back Me: Midsummer Sun won first up in Australia but it was a relatively poor quality field that he beat. Hasn’t won over the distance and at the odds is unders.
Big Danger: The Big Steel was pressured the whole race last start and in a race were there doesn’t look to be much on pace speed he should get some easily sectionals.
Roughie: Laspiel jumped badly last start and was never in the race. The start before that he finished close to them in a good race at Flemington and looks big overs in the race.

Race Eight: Paul Williamson Hcp 1200m Form Guide
Back Me: Vibrant Rouge was very unlucky last start and gets into the weights well again and has a 2kg claim. Should get a good run from barrier 5 and be hard to beat.
Don’t Back Me: Honey Flower was well backed at Morphettville last start but got too far back. Hasn’t placed at Caulfield in three tries and goes up in weight.
Big Danger: Serene Star won well last start and can definitely replicate that effort against a similar quality field here.
Roughie: Vain Attraction was posted wide the whole race last start and wasn’t disgraced. Should be able to get an easier run on Saturday and looks very good odds.
