Tips for Caulfield Race 5 (2:55pm AEDT)

Blue Diamond Prelude Colts & Geldings

Peter Moody
“Hawker Hurricane was good from off the pace at Ballarat. That race has traditionally been a little bit of a moderate form race (for this), but he’s come from off the pace and closed out well. Son of Deep Field.

“I’m giving him a shot from gate 8 and (Mark) Zahra was a little bit positive, he gave me a push at Caulfield track work on Tuesday morning.”

Anthony Mithen
“I’m sticking with the favourite, I Am Immortal. Ben Melham (on Brooklyn Hustle) will win them both I reckon.”

Tom Hackett
“I Am Immortal will be tough to beat but Aussie at $8 is the value bet.”

Tips Caulfield Race 6 (3:30pm AEDT)

Blue Diamond Prelude Fillies

Peter Moody
“I’m giving Brooklyn Hustle a big chance. Trialled super at Mornington last week. The 11 alley will suit this filly because she doesn’t step away clean.

“I haven’t seen Catch Me, I’ve seen Brooklyn Hustle and seeing is believing.”

Anthony Mithen
“I’m obviously tipping our horse Brooklyn Hustle who will give them absolute windburn, will be better for the run.

“You can have your Catch Me, it will be Brooklyn Hustle winning the both of them (Prelude and Stakes).”

Tom Hackett
“It’s a potential star, Catch Me. I think it will win this Saturday, I think it can win in two weeks’ time (in the Blue Diamond) and it could even do the double (and win the Golden Slipper).

“I’ve got a massive wrap on this horse.”

Tips for Warwick Farm Race 7 (4:30pm AEDT)

Inglis Millennium

Anthony Mithen
“I think Accession will be very hard to beat but if its going to get beaten, I’m plumping for Biscara. Hayes/Hayes/Dabernig, Brett Prebble in the saddle.

“Drawn well in 2, I reckon Biscara can get the job done.”

Tom Hackett
“Accession is the horse to beat for mine.

“Barrier 14, will get back, but I think its got a nice turn of foot, (Hugh) Bowman in the saddle.”
