Many of the favoured runners have drawn well for the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes, including Angel Capital, Lady Shenandoah, and Regal Award. They will all get their chances to find a good spot in running, and it will be a hotly-contested race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not getting a favourable Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes barrier is Evaporate, who will need to do a lot of work from barrier 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A solid effort to defeat an easier field last start. It was a good ratings performance, but the wide barrier makes things tougher here. He\u2019ll need to jump cleanly and settle on the speed to be a genuine chance.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s winner, and he has every chance of going back-to-back. He\u2019ll carry more weight this time around, but he\u2019s certainly capable of overcoming it. There has also been solid support for him since markets opened.<\/p>\n

#4 War Machine <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

A proven winner at the highest level, but we have some doubts about where he\u2019s currently at. The $13 looks a little short for our liking, so we\u2019re happy to look elsewhere for value in the Sir Rupert Clarke.<\/p>\n

Previously second-up 11th of 14 in the G1 Newmarket Handicap at Flemington on March 7 over 1200m, 4 len behind Caballus carrying 57kg at $13.

#5 Angel Capital <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

An enigmatic sprinter who punters are being asked to take on trust. At his best, he has the ability to blow this field away down the Caulfield straight, but predicting when he\u2019ll produce that effort is the challenge. He can\u2019t be ignored at the odds.<\/p>\n

Second-up 10th of 12 in the G1 Memsie Stakes at this track on August 29 over 1400m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Beiwacht carrying 59kg at $9.50.

The current favourite after finishing fourth last time out behind Autumn Glow and Sheza Alibi. That looks like the strongest form line heading into this race, and she should enjoy a soft run from the inside barrier. The one to beat, although this is a tricky field to navigate.<\/p>\n

#7 Warnie <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n

This is the time of year when Warnie tends to produce his best form, and he showed plenty of it last start. It wasn\u2019t at Group 1 level, but he has form around some of Australia\u2019s best horses and looks capable of running a cheeky race.<\/p>\n
