Our best early bets for Caulfield Cup 2024
Best Bet:
Riff Rocket @ $15.00
Riff Rocket has emerged as one of the more promising Australian stayers, having won the Australian Derby at his most recent start.
Derby winners are always tough to beat in the Caulfield Cup, and he’s going from strength to strength in the industry.
The son of American Pharoah owns seven wins from 11 starts, so he’s supremely consistent, and a top-level performer.
His last three starts have all come at Group 1 level, also winning the Rosehill Guineas, so he can handle the occasion.
Everything suggests he’s good enough to win the Caulfield Cup, so we’re taking the generous odds.
Next Best Bet:
Place Du Carrousel @ $18.00
Place Du Carrousel is now trained by Team Freedman after being sold for a massive sum at a broodmare sale in Europe.
The five-year-old mare by Lope de Vega has had two runs in Australia for a second placing behind Via Sistina and a seventh behind Pride of Jenni in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes.
She didn’t fire on that occasion, but the conditions of that race are a lot different to the Caulfield Cup.
She was purchased as a Cups contender, and the five-time winner is good enough to win at $18.00 odds in October.
We expect her to be right around the mark, and she’s likely to win a lead-up race in the coming months.
Best Value:
Another Wil @ $26.00
We have been looking to find the best race to back Another Wil, and it’s the Caulfield Cup.
The promising four-year-old for Ciaron Maher ran seventh in the Doncaster Mile behind Celestial Legend, but those runners were too slick for him.
You don’t need to be as fast to win the Caulfield Cup, but you need stamina, and the son of Street Boss has plenty of it.
He has yet to race past 1600m, but he’s crying out for 2400m, and his win in the Doncaster Prelude is too good to overlook.
Many believe he’ll make a good Cox Plate runner over 2040m. However, they could be too quick for him around The Valley, so back him in a more suitable race in the Caulfield Cup.
Getting $26.00 for a runner of his ability is good shopping.
Best Roughie:
The Map @ $34.00
The Map has come of age in 2024, and we’re prepared to include her in our Caulfield Cup futures predictions.
She won the QE II Cup at Morphettville before winning the Andrew Ramsden at Flemington, which earned her an automatic entry into the Melbourne Cup.
We believe she will also target the Caulfield Cup, and she has every chance of winning the Group 1 staying feature.
The five-year-old daughter of Alpine Eagle also ran second in the Adelaide Cup, and although form in the south isn’t always good for the Cups races, she looks to be a level above most.
Getting $34.00 to win and $9.50 to place is too good to overlook, so include the South Australian in your Caulfield Cup selections.
