Feature racing in Melbourne on Saturday is at Caulfield and racing expert Adam Curkpatrick from The Race Club is expecting a smart runner to get the better of more seasoned runners.
Best Bet
Caulfield (Saturday)
Race 8, 1100m
Asfoora ($3.30, $1.50)
Whilst there is a few seasoned, figure proven runners resuming, Asfoora ($3.30) resumes on the back of a sharp trial and so long as she is forward enough in condition, I believe she takes beating.
She has the softer run on paper to her main dangers.
Magic Time ($7.00) has trialled well and can capitalise on the strong tempo.
Masked Crusader ($10.00) is worth including in everything.
Strong lead in work, and I’d expect prepped for a forward performance.
Tip: Win
Asfoora 🔥

The 4YO mare has been simply outstanding this prep, adding another victory in the Furphy Sprint to round out the meet at Flemington yesterday 🙌 pic.twitter.com/DSnEga8g86
Value Bet
Race 3, 1400m
Yellow Sam ($6.50, $1.90)
Yellow Sam resumed in emphatic fashion at Donald before stepping to a BM84 and dropping in trip.
Her run was arguably the best out of the race, and pointed to a step up in trip being favourable.
This is competitive, however I believe she is great each-way value to the two heading the market.
