Michael Manley – Caulfield Saturday Best Bets 15/8/26

Best Bet – Race 7 #7 Cosmic Crusader

Cosmic Crusader more than lived up to his reputation with a dominant victory on his Melbourne debut in the Group 3 Bletchingly Stakes.

Dan Stackhouse allowed him to relax early before sliding through along the inside approaching the turn, despite that section of the track being considered inferior ground. Once asked to go, he bounded clear and was eased down through the line.

The performance was backed up on the clock, recording the fastest final 400m and 200m of the entire meeting.

He can settle closer this time and get the perfect trail behind Private Eye. He's proven on wet ground and also brings a potential fitness advantage over several key rivals resuming from spells.

Cosmic Crusader looks ready to take the next step.

Second Best Bet – Race 9 #8 First Chorus

First Chorus is flying and gets the opportunity to stretch her Caulfield winning sequence to four.

Luke Cartwright got the tactics spot-on last start, resisting the temptation to become involved in the early battle for the lead before bringing her into the race at exactly the right time.

She drops back 200 metres but should still land in a prominent position, with Just Folk likely to provide the speed for her to stalk.

Cartwright's claim gets her in with 55.5kg and gives the pair the opportunity to track the leader before making their move early in the straight.

She's fit, in winning form and gets another suitable setup to make it four straight at Caulfield.
