Horse Racing Tips for Caulfield 26/7/25

Racing returns to Caulfield on Saturday with the track rated in the Soft range, and only light showers are expected throughout the day.

With a strong card featuring some competitive sprint and staying events, Michael Manley has zeroed in on a progressive mare set to peak second-up.

 

Michael Manley’s Best Bet for Caulfield Saturday 26/7/25

 

Best Bet

Race 8 #8 NEW YORK LUSTRE $6.50

New York Lustre is a high-class mare who returned in great style last start, finishing second to In Flight, a fit and in-form runner.

Her trainer Enver Jusufovic indicated pre-race that she would take significant improvement from that run and now, second-up and fitter, she looks primed to go one better.

She maps beautifully in behind the speed and will enjoy a cosy run under Jamie Mott, likely stalking Baraqiel before letting down strongly in the straight.

Importantly, she handles all conditions and boasts a sharp turn of foot, two key factors that give her an edge in this field.
