This year\u2019s edition features a deep field of proven Group performers and exciting up-and-comers, ensuring no shortage of intrigue from a betting perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golden Rose hero Warwoven sits on top of the Caulfield Guineas betting market<\/a><\/strong> after his elite-level breakthrough in Sydney and looks well placed to complete the coveted Golden Rose-Caulfield Guineas double. The Bjorn Baker-trained colt brings the standout form lines into the race and appears ideally suited by the rise to a mile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blind Raise has quickly emerged as one of the major dangers after extending his record to four wins from five starts with a dominant Caulfield Guineas Prelude victory.

WARWOVEN (6)<\/strong>\u00a0looks the clear benchmark heading into this year\u2019s Caulfield Guineas and is the runner I\u2019m happy to be with.<\/p>\n

The Bjorn Baker-trained colt has gone to another level this preparation, putting together a superb spring campaign highlighted by back-to-back victories in the Run To The Rose<\/a> and Golden Rose<\/a> before making the trip to Melbourne.<\/p>\n

His performance in the Golden Rose was impossible to ignore, powering away from his rivals to score convincingly and suggesting the step up to 1600m is exactly what he\u2019s looking for.<\/p>\n

The son of Sword Of State has continued to improve with racing, and his racing pattern indicates the Caulfield mile should suit him ideally.<\/p>\n

Barrier six gives Rachel King every opportunity to secure a soft run behind the speed before unleashing him at the right time, and while he faces the Caulfield circuit for the first time, his current form lines are comfortably the strongest in the race.<\/p>\n

With proven Group 1 credentials, race fitness on his side and further upside still to come, Warwoven deserves his place at the top of Caulfield Guineas betting and is the Sydney raider to beat.<\/p>\n

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run won by 3 len in the G1 Golden Rose Stakes at Rosehill on September 26 over 1400m defeating St Gotthard carrying 56.5kg at $6. Before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a long-neck in a G2 The Run To The Rose at Rosehill on September 12 over 1200m defeating St Gotthard carrying 57kg at $8. Awesome win in the Golden Rose, clearly the one to beat off that.<\/td> <\/tr> <\/tbody> <\/table> <\/div>
