Caulfield Cup favourites have a poor recent record over the past decade but this weekend in Melbourne an on-the-rise Kiwi star is out to break the hoodoo with Mongolian Khan chasing the Group 1 win in 2015 as the punters pick.
A full field of stayers will face off in Saturday’s $3 million Group 1 BMW Caulfield Cup (2400m), but despite the big field for Caulfield Race 9 at 5:40pm (AEST), there are only three single figure chances in the latest markets at Ladbrokes.com.au – home of Best Tote or SP + 20% on the spring majors!
Leading those Caulfield Cup odds at $4.80 is the Murray Baker-trained four-year-old Mongolian Khan ($4.60), drawn a treat in barrier nine for Kiwi hoop Opie Bosson.
Just one favourite in the past 10 years has taken out the Caulfield Cup with Master O’Reilly (8/1 in 2007), but the form of Mongolian Khan is good as he looks to be the next with 55kg on his back, three kilos less than the weight he carted to a close third in his lead-up run behind Criterion in the Group 1 Caulfield Stakes (2000m) only last Saturday.
So can Mongolian Khan salute for the Caulfield Cup punters or is there another Caulfield Cup result on the cards following the success of three double-figure roughies in as many years: Dunaden (12/1 in 2012), Fawkner (10/1 in 2013) and Admire Rakti (10/1 in 2014)?
