Racing Caulfield Cup 2023

CAULFIELD CUP 1-MINUTE FORM GUIDE

GOLD TRIP - ludicrous Turnbull win but has shown that level rarely in Australia. That runs win this but must be doubts about the repeatability. Started $15 in a weaker version of this last year with less weight on a bog and got rolled by Durston so hard to get enthused about the current price.
WITHOUT A FIGHT - the one to beat and should be fave - total BT in the Underwood where it started $5 and drops in weight here. Drawn to settle closer and will look the winner at some stage.
BREAKUP - Should be renamed Mr Nagasaki for how cooked he is. Won't even get warm over the 2400 and is the absolute poison at the top of the market.
MONTEFILA - Ran a nice 4th in last years weaker edition but there is a wide body of work showing she is not up to winning a race like this. Looks very short.
FRANCESCO GUARDI - Turnbull run suggests he is the same kind of second tier stayer hype fraud that White Marlin and Goldman are. No.
WEST WIND BLOWS - Outstanding in the Turnbull and even Spencer shouldn't be able to get 3 wide from gate 2 here. Will be up on the pace and not stopping - the main danger.
NONCONFORMIST - Heroic second to Incentivise two years ago but that form is long gone and he is just making up the numbes here.
SOULCOMBE - Every run this prep a perfect cup trial and if he can jump out of the gates he is in this up to his years. Worry he doesn't get quite enough weight from the better WFA horses though.
DUKE DE SESSA - Looms as this years Gold Trip as a European with black type form entering through the WFA races. Could explode although withdrawal from MC at second acceptances suggests he is not going that good?
HOO YA MAL - Has looked on track for this all prep and will be up on the pace and out of trouble - one of the few blowout hopes not coming through the traditional lead ups.
RIGHT YOU ARE - Got in through winning the Mornington Cup - that's more this level.
EMISSARY - Hit a two-race golden patch in the Geelong and Melbourne Cup last year and has done nothing since. Won't be featuring.
GOLDMAN - Just another in a long line of offseason stayers who don't measure up in the big leagues. Cooked.
OKITA SOUSHI - This year's Camorra - and Irish plodder you do not want to be anywhere near at the 600 when he starts going backwards.
FAME - Genuine 999/1 shot on Betfair - the handicapper must have been on smack when allocating his weight as he is a midweek Sandown horse at best.
BOIS D'ARGENT - Been getting rolled in Big Dance qualifiers suggests he is not good enough to feature in this Big Dance.
SPIRIT RIDGE - Somehow ran Just Fine to a nose at 100/1 in a dogshit metrop. That horse beaten 30 Saturday. No
VALIANT KING - Would be half the quote if you forgive a horse a bad run and has no weight. Has Vauban form so would want to be doing something here given that horse is odds on for Flemington.

Almost the complete fill up. No chance of finding Bois Dargent for F4s but quinellas and tris paid very well considering how limited it looked at the pointy end

Yeah reckon I would have needed close to 17 on the 4th line to find Boisy boy

Oooh kinky.

Every jockey on a decent chance in these races may as well break the whip rules. Give your horse an edge, cop a fine that the owners can kick in on and then push your suspension back to after your next big G1 race so you dont end up missing anything

WWB would have lost on protest if he was first past the post.

Not a chance a Caulfield Cup is being changed on that amount of contact

Speaking of WWB, hypothetically could they go to the big Dance in Sydney?
Is the 2 run policy, a Racing Victoria protocol, and not an Australia wide mandate?
$3million for plodders.

Already happened 1969 Nausori lost To Big Philou on protest.

No. You have to run in a country cup to make the race

Lol without even looking at the race if we are going back to the 60s to try to find an example of a Caulfield Cup being overturned on minimal contact then it isnt happening

Your quote was because it was a Caulfield Cup it would not happen just showing you that CC has already been won protest. I am fairly certain if it had been a bob of the head result it would have been overturned.

Im not saying a race can't be over turned on protest but there was nothing in this at all. They are never over turning a major with that level of contact
