CF Orr Stakes day betting tips & form for Saturday, February 10

Looking for a new bookmaker ahead of Caulfield’s card?
Race 1 – Open Handicap (1800m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1181345_01]
Plot The Course has been making progression across its three runs this preparation and looks set to win if it continues on this path. The horse resumed with a sixth, then finished third before a last-start second on January 27. It bodes well for a quality run.
Race 1 tip: Plot The Course to win ($3.80 at Topbetta)
Race 2 – Blue Diamond Prelude F (1100m)

Oohood only finished a nose behind superstar of the future Long Leaf on debut and was unlucky in the next start at Caulfield, but still managed to finish within a length of Lady Horseowner on January 27. We think the penny drops on Saturday.
Race 2 tip: Oohood to win ($3.60 at William Hill)
Race 3 – Blue Diamond Prelude C&G (1100m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1181345_03]
Ollivander was brilliant on debut back in December, but unfortunately confronted the red-hot Long Leaf in its very next start. The horse only finished beyond half a length beyond Long Leaf on that day, and had plenty of excuses. Back Ollivander in here.
Race 3 tip: Ollivander to win ($4.80 at Sportsbet)
Race 4 – Ladbrokes Ts Carlyon Cup (1600m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1181345_04]
Gailo Chop is the best horse in the field here. The seven-year-old has a great record of two wins and three placings from seven starts, so it knows how to do it fresh. Gailo Chop is at a rock-bottom price and deservedly so.
Race 4 tip: Gailo Chop to win ($2.10 at William Hill)
Race 5 – Kevin Hayes Stakes (1200m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1181345_05]
We absolutely love Shoals and we’re backing it in to making a winning resumption. The horse is undefeated over two first-up runs and we’re backing the Fastnet Rock filly to make it three from as many resuming attempts.
Race 5 tip: Shoals to win ($3.40 at Topbetta)
Race 6 – Rubiton Stakes (1100m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1181345_06]
Merchant Navy is a quality runner that has the ability to win this race in a canter. The horse is a great runner fresh and is undefeated over two runs first-up. The horse’s only defeat came in the Golden Rose, just to highlight how good Merchant Navy is.
Race 6 tip: Merchant Navy to win ($3.20 at William Hill)
Race 7 – Hyland Colours Autumn Stakes (1400m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1181345_07]
Two wins from two first-up efforts boosts our confidence that Levendi can resume in style here. The only concern here is two sixth placed finishes on a pair off attempts at Caulfield, but we cannot overlook the horse’s chances in this one.
Race 7 tip: Levendi to win ($5 at Ladbrokes)
Race 8 – CF Orr Stakes (1400m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1181345_08]
Black Heart Bart knows a thing about winning at Caulfield and at 1400m. From six attempts the horse has won four times and placed a further two at course and distance. Bart also has a tremendous record of three wins and a trio of placings from nine first-up attempts. What more can you say?
Race 8 tip: Black Heart Bart to win ($3.40 at Crownbet)
Race 9 – Bellmaine Stakes (1200m)
[rmOC_events_list event_ids=1181345_09]
Fragonard is a first-up beast which will be incredibly hard to beat here. The Godolphin runner has never lost across three resuming runs and is also undefeated at the distance from a pair of starts. From an ideal barrier Fragonard can lead and take this out from the front carrying just 55kg.
Race 9 tip: Fragonard to win ($5 at Sportsbet)
