3YO Filly to Stave Them Off Late At Caulfield on Saturday: Adam Curkpatrick

After saluting with his midweek value bet of Court Deep at Mornington, The Race Club’s Adam Curkpatrick is back with more top tips for Caulfield on Saturday.

For this weekend’s best bet, the racing expert is backing a resilient filly to hold off a charging field in the finish.

Best Bet

Caulfield (Saturday)

Race 2, 1000m

Bubble Palace ($5.00, $1.85)

I came into the race to find the favourite Katsu ($2.60), however there is a glaring weight swing to Bubble Palace ($5.00) out of the same meeting, both coming off very similar runs.

Bubble Palace quickened well from a wide position, boxing on soundly behind Flying On A Limb ($5.50), who she also meets better at the weights.

The latter had the tag in behind them and finished accordingly.

Flying On A Limb is a good horse, however I’m banking on Bubble Palace getting the better run here and can stave them off late.

Tip: Win

Value Bet

Race 6, 1400m

Mensa Missile ($10.00, $3.20)

I’d expect Mensa Missile ($10.00, $3.20) is quite forward for this given the lead in work and kick off at 1400m.

Although his first-up form doesn’t read that well on paper, his last three have all been quite good, being only 1.5L from the winner in the 1100-1250m range.

He doesn’t want too much give in the ground, however I do think he is good value in an open field. 

Tip: Win
