| When | Saturday, May 4, 2024 |
| First Race | 11:45am AEST |
A competitive 10-race meeting awaits punters at Caulfield Racecourse on Saturday. With clear skies forecast, the track will remain a Good 4 throughout the day. The rail comes out 8m for the entire circuit, with racing set to commence at 11:45am local time.
Best Bet at Caulfield: Mawallock
Mawallock won in soft style in both starts during the spring and boasts a bombproof record of two wins from as many first-up runs. With Tayla Childs’ 3kg claim getting the four-year-old mare in with just 56.5kg, she looks well weighted against her rivals. From barrier four, Mawallock will likely land in the one-one and cruise to victory over the 1100m trip.
Best Bet
Race 2 – 
#1 Mawallock (4)
4yo Mare | T: Lindsey Smith | J: Tayla Childs (a2) (59.5kg)
Next Best at Caulfield: Aberfeldie Boy
Aberfeldie Boy was a touch unlucky when beaten less than a length by Captain Envious in Group 3 company last time out, but he was hitting the line nicely at the end of the 2000m journey. As such, a return to the track and trip could be a recipe for success. He will need a touch of luck from barrier two under Patrick Moloney, but with a 4.5kg weight advantage over favourite Berkeley Square, Aberfeldie Boy is the play.
Next Best
Race 9 – 
#6 Aberfeldie Boy (2)
4yo Gelding | T: Robbie Griffiths & Mathew de Kock | J: Patrick Moloney (54kg)
Best Value at Caulfield: Midwest
Midwest is a 1000m specialist, boasting six wins and six minor placings from 14 attempts. The five-year-old gelding returns from a four-month spell, and with a first-up record of 6: 1-3-1, he offers great value at double-figure odds with horse racing bookmakers. Tatum Bull should have no issue finding the rail from barrier three and giving Midwest the opportunity to run his rivals off their feet.
Best Value
Race 5 – 
#2 Midwest (3)
5yo Gelding | T: ANthony & Sam Freedman | J: Tatum Bull (a3) (62kg)
