For this Saturday, here are my top bets of the day in 3 of the best races during the Caulfield meeting.

Best Bet - Race 6: Shadhavar

Win Odds: $5.00 | Place Odds: $2.00
Bookmaker: Bet Now with Playup

Top Tip (Best Bet): Shadhavar

Last result was outside the top four, but there’s an opportunity for improvement with more race experience. Shadhavar stepped out at Caulfield on 12/07/2025, finishing 5th over 1100m. 1100m distance suits - right in the mix. Competitive at the trip, placing in 75% of 4 starts, with 2 wins. Winless at Caulfield - needs to lift to turn that around, this could be her race to do it.

Biggest Threat (Danger): Savagery Vibe

Last race saw a fighting second-place finish, looking to go one better. Last start performance, Savagery Vibe came 2nd over 1100m at Rosehill.

Value Play: Mystic Reign

With three consecutive placings, Mystic Reign has shown its ability to stay competitive. A true master over 1100m - hasn't been beaten yet and unlikely to start now. Handles the distance well, boasting 2 wins from 2 runs. Winning is second nature to this one, undefeated so far.

Best Bet - Race 7: Newlook

Win Odds: $7.00 | Place Odds: $2.40
Bookmaker: Bet Now with Dabble

Top Tip (Best Bet): Newlook

Impressive finishing speed sealed a last-start win. Newlook stepped out at Fr - Deauville on 21/10/2024, finishing 1st over 2500m. Can handle these conditions but needs to bring its A-game. Has raced 4 times on soft tracks, winning 50% and placing in 100%.

Biggest Threat (Danger): Earlswood

Second-place finish last race, demonstrating strong staying power. Earlswood competed at Caulfield over 2000m, finishing 2nd.

Value Play: St Lawrence

Finished outside the top four, but continuing to develop as a competitor. St Lawrence ran at Caulfield on 12/07/2025, finishing 6th in a 1400m event. At this track, holds a record of 2-1-1, with 2 wins.

Best Bet - Race 8: New York Lustre

Bookmaker: Bet Now with VicBet

Top Tip (Best Bet): New York Lustre

With three straight placings, New York Lustre continues to show its reliability and skill. Last outing, New York Lustre took on a 1100m race at Caulfield and finished 2nd. Despite no wins yet at Caulfield, New York Lustre has had some solid performances here.

Biggest Threat (Danger): Bridal Waltz

Bridal Waltz has consistently finished in the placings over the past three races. On 05/07/2025, Bridal Waltz lined up at Flemington, finishing 1st over 1200m. Performed well over this trip, winning 2 times from 4 starts. Track record isn’t inspiring, but anything can happen at Caulfield on Saturday.

Value Play: Recommendation

Finished third in the previous run, maintaining strong momentum. Recommendation raced recently, placing 3rd in a 1100m event at Caulfield. Competitive at this track, placing in 4 of 7 starts, with 3 wins.

Jamie Mott has a good mix of roughies on Saturday that should offer plenty of value for punters.
