Horse Racing Tips for the Caulfield Cup 2023

Recent history points to a last-start winner in this year’s Caulfield Cup.

Four of the last five winners of the $5 million 2400m feature have won their lead-up run.

Best Solution [2018] and Mer De Glace [2019] both won their respective international lead-ups while Incentivise [2020] and Verry Elleegant [2021] took out the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes before capturing the first of Melbourne’s big three.

Last year’s winner, Durston, finished 6^th in the Metropolitan Hcp but won the Wyong and Newcastle Cups in his two previous runs.

It’s clear in recent times you need recent winning form for a Caulfield Cup

 

Jockey to Follow

Ben Melham has struck at 18% over the past 30 days In Victoria with an ROI of +62% during that time.

He rides Gold Trip in the Caulfield Cup, who is looking to become the third horse in five years to complete the Turnbull Stakes – Caulfield Cup double

Tips for the Caulfield Cup

1. Gold Trip (11) $5.00

Finished 2^nd in this race last year and is coming off one of his career-best performances winning the Turnbull Stakes.

Gets an in-form Ben Melham to steer and should find a bum to take him into the race.

 

4. Montefilia (9) $17.00

Found the winner's circle last start after 80 weeks in the wilderness.

She won the Hill Stakes clocking the 5^th best last 200m of the day.

She was beaten 1L in this race last year and meets Gold Trip 2kg better.

Great each-way play.
