2400M RACE
CAULFIELD RACECOURSE
COMMENT: He is a relatively lightly raced rock hard stayer from the Saeed Bin Suroor camp. He comes into the Caulfield Cup after back to back wins in some strong overseas races. He will love the 2400m and can handle a dry or rain affected track. A very versatile horse who will be hard to beat.
COMMENT: Finished off with the fastest sectionals in the Caulfield Stakes on Saturday and looks primed to run a very good 2400m in the Caulfield Cup. Has strong overseas form and the Internationals again look very hard to beat in the majors this year. Should go close.
COMMENT: A Japanese raider so he has to be respected in this. His last two starts have been very good in strong overseas races. Having his first up run in Australia and on his overseas form will probably need a bit further than the 2400m. Watch for a strong finish and a better run in the Melbourne Cup.
COMMENT: Thought his three runs this time in have had a lot of merit without really pressing for a win. Comes through the Turnbull which should be a good form race into the Caulfield Cup but he will likely need it to be wet to be winning.
COMMENT: A German galloper so he has to be respected in this as German horses have always ran well in Australia. He probably was a little unlucky at his last two starts and he is pretty well weighted in this. He looks a very good horse and needs to be included. Danger
COMMENT: Returned to winning form in the Hill Stakes last start which was good to see after knocking on the door for some time. Goes into the Caulfield Cup rock hard fit and we know he will run a strong 2400m. Yet to race at Caulfield which is a bit of a query as is the Hill Stakes form but he must be included unless it is a rain affected track.
COMMENT: Was a strong winner of the JRA Cup last start but this looks a lot tougher on paper. Will likely be one of the leaders and will make his own luck and with the Caulfield track favouring leaders lately he could be a knock out hope.
COMMENT: Comes into the Caulfield Cup with okay International form. He won pretty impressively last start although the form from that race doesn’t look too exciting. He is weighted well in this and will run a good 2400m but i am happy to risk in a quality addition of the race.
COMMENT: Has good form from overseas although i think some of the other International raiders look stronger. The 2400m should be the perfect distance for him so a win would not surprise so he should be added to multiples although i think there are a handful of others that are stronger. Each way claims
COMMENT: Got back in The Bart Cummings and never really fired a shot. Will likely be looking for further so i can’t see him figuring in this. Pass
COMMENT: Is yet to win in Australia after plenty of racing so there is a massive query around his ability to win a race like this however he has been racing well this preparation and should be included in the multiples.
COMMENT: Won the Caulfield Guineas at big odds last year but hasn’t really gone close in his last six starts so he doesn’t come into the race in great form. Happy to leave out.
COMMENT: He was a bit disappointing in the Caulfield Stakes on Saturday after some very good runs at WFA. He drops a lot of weight in this and he will likely take up the running and with some easy sectionals i think he could give a massive sight. Keep safe
COMMENT: Topped the Caulfield Cup market for a long time until his run in the Turnbull Stakes which was a little disappointing to the eye. Thought it was better than what it looked and he gets a good drop in weight in this. His runs before thr Turnbull all suggested he was going to be very hard to beat in this and i still think he will. One of the big dangers.
COMMENT: Being a Japanese horse you have to respect him in the race although he is first up in five months so on that i am happy to risk him here. Will need the run so look out for him wherever he goes next.
COMMENT: Thought his run in the JRA Plate was good two starts ago but his Herbert Power run suggests it would take a lot of things to go right for him to win this. Prefer to back him in country cups.
COMMENT: Had been racing very well until what was probably a disappointing run in G1 company in the Caulfield Stakes on Saturday. He drops a lot of weight on that run but I’m not sure he has the class to win a major such as the Caulfield Cup. Prefer him in G2/G3 class.
COMMENT: Outside of Winx she put in the best run in the Turnbull Stakes and arguably the meeting at Flemington that day. Her two starts before that throughout this preparation have both been very good and she is ticking along nicely for the Caulfield Cup on Saturday and with only 51.5kg on her back she is going to be very hard to hold out. The one to beat

HURRICANE FIGHTER
$7.00
(LADBROKES)
J: JAMES WINKS
T: MICHAEL MARONEY
HURRICANE FIGHTER IS A 3YO GELDING BY SAVABEEL, TRAINED BY MICHAEL MARONEY AT HIS FLEMINGTON STABLES.
HE DEBUTED ON THE 6TH OF SEPTEMBER IN A 1009M 3YO-MAIDEN AT ECHUCA. HE BEGAN A TOUCH SLOWLY AND DIDN’T HAVE MUCH EARLY SPEED, SO HE SETTLED BACK 7TH IN THE FIELD OF 11. HE BEGAN TO GRADUALLY IMPROVE PASSING THE 600M POINT & STEADILY PICKED UP COMING ROUND THE BEND. HE TOOK A WHILE TO WIND UP BUT CLOSED OFF VERY WELL IN THE LAST 100M-150M TO GET UP AND NAB 3RD BEATEN JUST 0.95L. THE RUN WAS A PLEASING DEBUT BUT IT WAS VERY OBVIOUS HE’D BE A HORSE BETTER OVER FURTHER.
2ND UP ON SEPTEMBER 27, MARONEY STEPPED HIM UP TO A 1300M 3YO-MAIDEN AT BENDIGO. THIS TIME AROUND HE JUMPED OUT IN-FRONT AND SPED OVER FROM GATE 6 OF 11 TO LEAD SOLO DOWN ON THE RAIL.
THE ODDS-ON FAVOURITE IN THE RACE WAS THE SON OF BLACK CAVIAR, PRINCE OF CAVIAR, AND THEY PAIRED OFF OUT IN FRONT AND GOT AWAY WITH SOME CHEAP SECTIONALS. AROUND THE CORNER & INTO THE STRAIGHT THE PAIR WERE STRIDE FOR STRIDE.
ALL & SUNDRY WERE EXPECTING PRINCE OF CAVIAR TO QUICKLY PUT PAID TO HURRICANE FIGHTER. BUT HURRICANE FIGHTER FOUGHT ON DOGGEDLY AND IT WASN’T UNTIL THE LAST 100M THAT PRINCE OF CAVIAR GOT THE UPPER HAND & DREW CLEAR TO DEFEAT HURRICANE FIGHTER INTO 2ND SPOT BEATEN JUST 1.3L. IT WAS A TERRIFIC EFFORT BY HURRICANE FIGHTER TO STICK ON SO GAMELY WITH THE VERY TALENTED COLT PRINCE OF CAVIAR. PRINCE OF CAVIAR HAS TERRIFIC FORM LINES AROUND THE LEADING VRC DERBY CONTENDER, AND TWICE CITY METROPOLITAN SATURDAY GRADE WINNER SUBSEQUENTLY OF DARREN WEIR’S ~EXTRA BRUT~.
PRINCE OF CAVIAR ALSO HAD FORM AROUND SUBSEQUENT STAKES WINNER AT RANDWICK ~MICKEY BLUE EYES~ WHO HAS ALSO SINCE RUN VERY WELL IN THE GROUP 1 SPRING CHAMPION.
LONG STORY SHORT, PRINCE OF CAVIAR IS A VERY TALENTED COLT THAT WILL IN TIME MEASURE UP TO GROUP LEVEL RACING, SO FOR HURRICANE FIGHTER TO MATCH MOTORS WITH HIM FOR SO LONG INTO THE STRAIGHT IN THEIR CLASH AT BENDIGO WAS A TERRIFIC RUN.
TODAY HE RISES ANOTHER 100M IN TRIP UP TO 1400M, WHICH SHOULD AGAIN SUIT NICELY. HE’S DRAWN A TOUCH STICKY IN GATE 12 BUT IF HE CAN SHOW THE GATE SPEED HE SHOWED US AT BENDIGO HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET UT & CROSS THEM AND GET THE LEAD ON THE FENCE.
DOUG HARRISON’S 5 YEAR OLD GELDING JUDGE O’REILLY LOOKS THE HORSE TO BEAT & IS THE EARLY MARKET FAVOURITE, CRAIG WILLIAMS TAKES THE RIDE BUT IN HER ONLY CAREER START SHE GOT WELL BACK BEFORE RUNNING HOME. HOPE HURRICANE FIGHTER CAN GET A SOFT ENOUGH TIME OF THINGS IN FRONT SO THAT HE CAN DICTATE THE RACE & PUT THE BACK MARKERS OUT OF BUSINESS.
WITH NATURAL IMPROVEMENT & THE STEP UP IN TRIP I’M CONFIDENT HURRICANE FIGHTER CAN GO PRETTY CLOSE TO WINNING AT A VERY GENEROUS QUOTE OF $7.00.
