Caulfield racing preview & betting tips | Saturday, December 16
| What | Caulfield Races |
| Where | Caulfield Racecourse – Gate 22, Station St, Caulfield East VIC 3145 |
| When | Saturday, December 16, 2023 |
| First Race | 12:15pm AEDT |
Victorian metro racing heads to Caulfield on Saturday afternoon for a bumper 10-race program kicking off at 12:15pm local time. With no rain predicted in the lead-up, it should serve up a pristine Good 4 surface. The rail comes out +10m for the entire circuit, so it may pay to favour horses ridden on speed.
Best Bet: Traffic Warden
Traffic Warden did enough on debut at Rosehill on December 2 to suggest he can get the job done on his first trip to Melbourne. He chased gamely behind the talented Storm Boy but was only able to reel in the final margin to 2.3 lengths. Jamie Kah takes the reins this time, and with barrier three allowing her slot in closer for cover, Traffic Warden should be right in this two-year-old contest.
Best Bet
Race 1 – 
#1 Traffic Warden (3)
2yo Colt | T: James Cummings | J: Jamie Kah (59kg)
Next Best: Jambalaya
Jambalaya is seeking back-to-back wins after producing a breathtaking performance on debut at Mooney Valley on November 17. The son of Shooting To Win went straight to the front and never looked like losing, heading to the wire under a hold for Jamie Kah. This BM70 is clearly more competitive, but with similar tactics to his first-up romp, Jambalaya will be hard to hold out.
Next Best
Race 7 – #3 Jambalaya (7)
3yo Gelding | T: James Cummings | J: Jamie Kah (57.5kg)
Best Value: Spanish Tides
The top betting sites are giving us a massive each-way price for Spanish Tides this weekend. She ran on well first-up at Cranbourne in open company behind Revolutionary Miss on November 25 and found enough to finish in the minor money despite lacking fitness. This BM78 is a big step down in grade, and with three wins from four second-up runs, Spanish Tides should be in the finish.
Best Value
Race 4 – 
#1 Spanish Tides (1)
7yo Mare | T: Luke Oliver | J: Wiremu Pinn (a2kg) (62kg)
