We have Herbert Power Stakes tips and predictions for the Group 2 2400m race at Caulfield on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Herbert Power Stakes odds<\/strong><\/a> don\u2019t have much between the top five in the market, and it should be a quality staying contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n <\/use><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n Best Bet<\/div>\n #12 Pinhole @ $3.60<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n \n Chris Waller has Pinhole flying this preparation, and the last-start winner looks the runner to beat in the Herbert Power Stakes.<\/p>\nThe 4YO son of Frankel has won four of his 14 starts and looks like a horse with plenty of upside as he steps up in distance. His Rosehill win last time out was particularly encouraging, with Pinhole showing a good turn of foot before fighting strongly through the line.<\/p>\nThe 2400m should suit on breeding, and having James McDonald taking the ride is another major positive. McDonald has a strong book of rides on Caulfield Guineas Day, and he can get the day off to a winning start aboard Pinhole.<\/p>\nHe has already been well backed in the Herbert Power Stakes market, and we expect the money to keep coming for the Waller-trained runner. He looks the safest option in our Herbert Power Stakes tips at the current odds.<\/p>\n Caulfield R4 – Sportsbet Herbert Power Stakes (G2)<\/span> <\/div> Open<\/span> Race time: <\/span> <\/span> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/colgroup> <\/div> <\/div> <\/td> 12.
