Caulfield Racing Tips for Saturday, May 9th 2026

We have expert betting tips for racing at Caulfield on Saturday, which includes nine races at the premier meeting.

Punters get good value odds for the Victorian meeting, and we have betting tips for every race on the card.

Race 1. (12:10) Sportsbet Feed Handicap (1100m)

#12 – Natural Fling @ $2.80

Natural Fling has shown good speed at the trials and jumpouts, and there has been solid money for her throughout the week.

The $550,000 purchase is bred to be good, and after winning a Caulfield trial, she looks ready to make an impact on race day.

Barrier three is ideal, so she goes on top.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 2. (12:40) Thank You Lynden Tymms BM78 (2000m)

#11 – Autumn Slide @ $8.50

BET NOW

Autumn Slide is nearing a win after improving with every run this preparation, including a second placing at Caulfield last start.

The five-year-old mare by The Autumn Sun meets a tidy field here but dropping to 52.5kg is enough to take her close.

We’re taking the value odds from bookmakers.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (13:15) Tobin Brothers Celebrating Lives Handicap (1600m)

#1 – West of Swindon @ $5.00

BET NOW

Each-way value is with West of Swindon, who has competed against some stellar fields throughout his career.

The three-year-old colt has only one win from 12 starts, but over $500k in the bank, so this is a big drop in class from what he’s used to.

2kg comes off to help with the big weight, which should take him close.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (13:50) Lamaro’s Hotel Handicap (1440m)

#6 – Bella Verona @ $5.00

BET NOW

Bella Verona was far too good for them when winning on debut at Cranbourne, and she could have a bright future.

The three-year-old filly paid $1.75, and she didn’t have everything go her way, but class got her over the line.

Getting the inside draw is enough to take her close at each-way odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (14:25) Ive BM84 (1600m)

#4 – Narbold @ $9.50

BET NOW

Punters get better odds than expected for Narbold, who won well two starts back at Caulfield before running fourth last time out.

The four-year-old son of Churchill owns three wins and 10 placings from 19 starts, so he hasn’t done much wrong throughout his career.

We’re snapping up the odds before money comes for him.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (15:00) Tour D'horse BM84 (1000m)

#9 – Piastri @ $13.00

BET NOW

Much like his namesake, Piastri showed plenty of speed early in his career, and we’re hoping that he can get back to that form.

The Ciaron Maher-trained gelding owns four wins from 12 starts, including a win and a placing from three attempts at Caulfield.

Dropping to 55kg could be enough to see him run well at generous odds.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 7. (15:40) Evergreen Turf BM100 (1440m)

#5 – Brave One @ $3.60

BET NOW

Brave One didn’t fire at Randwick last start when running behind Group 1 types but coming to Melbourne will help his cause.

He owns four wins and four placings from just 11 starts and getting the inside draw with 55.5kg on his back is enough to take him close.

Punters should expect a top effort.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (16:15) Lamaro’s After the Last BM100 (2000m)

#1 – Land Legend @ $5.00

BET NOW

Land Legend has class on his side, and although carrying a big weight, he showed toughness when running second at Flemington last start.

The winner of over $1.48 million is taking his time to win another race, but this is a winnable race, which is why he’s the current favourite.

He gets one more chance based on recent form.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 9. (16:50) Sportsbet Fixed Odds Exotics BM78 (1100m)

#12 – Tournelle @ $13.00

BET NOW

Punters get value odds with Tournelle, who ran well for fourth fresh up, and there is improvement to come.

The five-year-old mare has yet to fire in two second-up attempts but getting in with 55.5kg and Craig Williams riding bodes well.

The odds make her a worthwhile play in the last race.

Stake: 1 Unit
