Caulfield Guineas 2018 Tips
Favourite: The Autumn Sun. Having won the JJ Atkins Plate in June, the Chris Waller trained colt might be the best bet at present. One of Waller’s other trainees, Press Statement, managed to take out the JJ Atkins Plate and the Caulfield Guineas in 2015.
Best Roughie: More Sundays. This colt has already won a race for three-year-olds this year, placing first in early August at Geelong. Now ready to break out of the maidens, a bet on this colt represents great value if it places at the Caulfield Guineas.
