What Caulfield Races
Where Caulfield Racecourse – 22 Station St, Caulfield East VIC 3145
When Wednesday, January 12, 2022
First Race 3:40pm AEDT

For the second time in the space of four days, racing heads to Caulfield Racecourse for an eight-race card on Wednesday afternoon. Horsebetting’s Victorian form analyst presents his best bets, top odds and free quaddie picks.

The track has come up a Good 4, with the rail out 12m the entire circuit, for the meeting commencing at 3:40pm AEDT.

Caulfield Best Bet – Designs

Our best bet of the day comes up in the opening leg of the quaddie when the Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained Designs steps out over 2000m. The four-year-old mare out of Vancouver hung on at Wangaratta on December 23 but did have the smart Secret Sheema chase her home on that day. She will need a touch of luck from barrier 14 on Wednesday, but with the in-form Damien Thornton on board and retaining the ride, we expect to see her lob in the first four upon settling. Thornton made his move on the mare inside the final 300m and if he has that much horse underneath him on Wednesday, Designs will take some catching and looks to be a clear best bet on the card.

Next Best Bet at Caulfield – No Diggity

It is not very often that we make a two-year-old one of our better bets of the day, but the way the Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained No Diggity won on debut, suggests she is the one to be with in the opening event. The two-year-old filly out of Sebring gained a suck run in transit at Geelong on December 26 and benefited from the steer to pull away from her rivals over 1100m. She was only lengthening her margin on the line, so the step up to 1200m, second-up looks to be ideal. Whilst the quinella on that day paired off, they managed to put six lengths on the third-place horse, suggesting No Diggity has plenty of upside. In the small field of five, from barrier two we expect to see Craig Newitt be aggressive and take up the running on Wednesday. With two of her rivals on debut and the other two rivals struggling massively on debut, No Diggity looks a smart bet.

Best Value Bet at Caulfield – Cranc

We will be looking to head home a winner on the back of Cranc from the Ciaron Maher & David Eustace yard saluting at a nice price. The four-year-old son of Fighting Sun begun his career with three wins from five starts in the autumn last year and despite an eight-month spell we anticipate a forward showing first-up. He draws barrier 14, but considering he prefers to get back and run on in his races, it should not affect his chances too much. With Alana Kelly on board claiming 2kg, he will go around with 61.5kg on his back, aiding his ability to run on from the rear of the field. If it is a day where you can make ground from the back of the field, Cranc looks to be a great bet in the last as he has a turn of foot which looks too hard to hold out.
