The final Saturday metro meeting in Victoria for the 2023–24 season will be held at Caulfield on Saturday, July 27, with a nine-race meeting set down for decision. The card is headlined by the Group 3 Bletchingly Stakes (1200m) with $200,000 on the line.
The track is rated a Good 4, but with rain forecast in the lead-up, it is expected racing will be held on a deteriorating deck. The rail comes out 4m for the entire circuit, with the Caulfield races set to commence at 12:10pm AEST.
Bletchingly Stakes Tip: Marble Nine
Despite Recommendation being a $1.50 favourite for the Bletchingly, Marble Nine brings an element of the unknown to the Group 3 feature. With the favourite unlikely to get as easy a run out in front this time around, the race sets up perfectly for the son of Kobayashi to stalk the speed and finish over the top of his rivals. Marble Nine is undefeated through two starts on rain-affected ground, and the double-figure quote at Dabble is hard to ignore.

Best Bet at Caulfield: Dom
Debuts do not come any more impressive than what Dom put forward at Geelong on July 12. The two-year-old gelding managed to find the front with relative ease and dictated terms throughout before pulling away to win by 5.5 lengths. Drawn in barrier four for this 1400m event, Blake Shinn will have no issue finding the rail and dictating terms once again.

Race 1 – 
#2 Dom (4)
2yo Gelding | T: Ben, Will & JD Hayes | J: Blake Shinn (57kg)

Next Best at Caulfield: Kundalini
The Grahame Begg-trained Kundalini has not been seen at the races since October 14 last year, when she finished 2.66 lengths off Arctic Glamour in Listed company and was beaten just over a length by subsequent Group 1 winner Joliestar. Damian Lane will have the I Am Invincible progeny on the back of the leaders throughout, and if the gaps come at the right time, Kundalini should have no issue in disposing of her rivals.

Race 5 – 
#6 Kundalini (2)

Best Value at Caulfield: Patchouli Dream
Patchouli Dream got the head down in time over 1300m in a driving finish at Randwick last time out, while she was beaten a head by Bossy Nic at this track the start prior. He drops back to the 1200m and, from barrier one, will gain every advantage in running. Lachlan King will need to be patient waiting for a gap to appear, but when it does, Patchouli Dream can run a bottler at a big price with horse racing bookmakers.

Race 6 – 
#6 Patchouli Dream (1)
3yo Filly | T: Ben Brisbourne | J: Lachlan King (55kg)
