Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes Form Guide & Tips
1. Vilana ($11)
He has been disappointing in two starts back from a spell, and although he has talent, we’re leaving him out.
2. I Am Me (Best Each Way – $8.50)
I Am Me is always tough to beat and she should be right in the mix. She owns nine wins from 17 starts, so the record stands out.
We think she will handle Caulfield at the first time of seeing it.
3. Strait Acer ($9.50)
His form has been excellent this preparation, so we’re not leaving him out at the each-way odds.
He’s a trustworthy runner who puts himself in the race.
4. Bandersnatch ($23)
He hasn’t been at his best this season, but he comes off an improved second placing.
If he repeats the dose, he could be good enough to figure in the finish.
5. Skew Wiff (Best Roughie – $19)
The Kiwi comes off a win at Flemington, and she’s good enough to go back-to-back.
She is a Group 1 winner across the Tasman, and the daughter of Savabeel is good enough to win again at generous odds.
6. The Inferno ($21)
He is classy at his best, so we’re including him in selections. He only needs some pace up front to hit the line with power.
7. Ayrton ($14)
He draws better this time around and he could get back to winning form after scoring fresh up.
Carrying a light weight is another positive.
8. Zoutori ($81)
Big odds available because he’s well past his best.
9. Buffalo River ($31)
His best form has returned, but we don’t think he’s at the Group 1 level at the moment.
Barrier 19 could make it tough to win.
10. Chain of Lightning ($15)
Her odds are shorter than expected. $15 is too short for a mare who hasn’t found her best form this year.
11. Magic Time (Best Bet – $4.20)
Magic Time won well two back at Rosehill before finishing third behind Espiona.
We expect that form to stack up nicely, and we’re not surprised by the shortening odds throughout the week.
12. Munhamek ($14)
He will need luck from the wide draw, but he owns a win and a placing from two starts at Caulfield.
Barrier 18 is tough but watch for him to finish over the top of them.
13. Cause for Concern ($16)
He got back to winning form at Flemington last time out, which could be a good form guide.
We don’t think he’s good enough to win, but he could lob into a minor placing.
14. General Beau ($27)
He scored for loyal punters last time out, but going back-to-back could prove difficult at this level.
15. Crosshaven ($19)
He is never too far away from the mark without winning all that often. There are better bets in this race.
16. Wrote to Arataki ($20)
She won well at Caulfield last time out. She also landed some good bets, so it could be worth following race day moves.
17. Not an Option ($126)
The former Kiwi isn’t running well, so don’t entertain his odds.
18. Military Expert ($51)
His odds have drifted, and the lack of betting support is a worry.
19. Umgawa ($67)
Consistent but finds it tough to win races.
