Caulfield Betting: The speedy Onasis to continue her love affair with the Caulfield 1100m in the Sir John Monash

CAULFIELD RACE 6 @ 2:58pm AEST: The Polytrack Sir John Monash Stakes is an 1100m Listed Race for 3 year olds and upwards where the 3.50 favourite with Sportsbet is HAPPY GALAXY. HOW THE RACE WILL BE RUN: Looks high speed here with 4 horses capable of leading. They are PAGO ROCK, MRS ONASIS, HAPPY GALAXY and ELITE ELLE. ZEDI KNIGHT won’t be too far away with ZAMORAR and BIG BUDDIE just behind him, the remainder of the runners settle midfield or beyond in a race where all horses will get their chance barring bad luck or track bias. RACE ANALYSIS: MRS ONASIS’s fresh record and her brilliant 1100m stats are too hard to ignore in this race. She resumes from a 13 week break after a successful campaign where she picked up her first Group 1, The Oakleigh Plate over this distance and at this track. She didn’t get the best of luck in her next two starts before having a break. She draws a perfect barrier here, is 2 from 2 this track and distance, she’s 7 from 12 at the 1100m and the 13 week break is exactly the time she had off going into the Oakleigh Plate. http://www.betzone.com.au/caulfield-betting-the-speedy-onasis-to-continue-her-love-affair-with-the-caulfield-1100m-in-the-sir-john-monash-20130715

Re: Caulfield Betting 13/07/2013 [h=1]Caulfield Betting: Classy 3 year old Octavia to go one better 2nd up in the Yarra Valley Farms Plate[/h]

CAULFIELD RACE 2 @ 12:35pm AEST: The Yarra Valley Farms Plate is a 3 year old fillies race over 1200m where the 4.20 favourite with Bet365 is OCTAVIA. HOW THE RACE WILL BE RUN: For a 1200m race there doesn’t appear huge speed on paper. OCTAVIA leads from NELLA FANTASIA, VALID CONTRACT, LEGCUT and possibly YULEBU. KUKLA may slide forward but the rest of the runners settle midfield or beyond in a race where the on-pacers look suited. RACE ANALYSIS: OCTAVIA resumed a fortnight ago at Moonee Valley and was on the wrong end of a photo finish with potential Group class filly She Can Skate who was having the 3^rd run of her preparation. She jumped well as she always does and put herself on the speed and looked the winner with 200m to go before just peaking on her run slightly to go down by the barest of margins. She’ll be fitter here, the Caulfield 1200m suits, she stays down in the weights after Kayla Nisbett’s claim and looks set for a soft run on the speed. http://www.betzone.com.au/caulfield-betting-classy-3-year-old-octavia-to-go-one-better-2nd-up-in-the-yarra-valley-farms-plate-20130715
