The James Cummings-trained super colt Broadsiding is out to extend his picket fence this weekend as the odds-on favourite in barrier 9 of 11 in the 2024 Caulfield Guineas final field.

Melbourne’s Caulfield Racecourse comes to life on Saturday with the card headlined by a small but class field of promising three-year-old milers facing off in the Group 1 $3 million Caulfield Guineas (1600m).

After his sixth win on the trot, Too Darn Hot colt Broadsiding is again the one to beat heading the Caulfield Guineas odds online at a short $1.55 through Ladbrokes.com.au.

Brilliant hoop James McDonald continues associations on the Godolphin-raced galloper as he chases fourth Caulfield Guineas winning ride and his first since Golden Mile in 2022.

Saturday marks Broadsiding’s first Melbourne assignment since a fourth on debut at Ballarat back in February.

He has gone from strength-to-strength since enjoying a Group 1 1600m double as a two-year-old winning Sydney’s Champagne Stakes and the J.J. Atkins in Brisbane.

Fresh he went straight to Rosehill’s Group 1 Golden Rose Stakes (1400m) and came away as history’s inaugural first-up winner with a narrow but convincing victory over The Everest-bound Traffic Warden.

Saturday sees him back up to his pet distance which he is three-from-three over to date, and the markets reflect how strong a contender he is down south.

The danger occupying the second line of Caulfield Guineas betting at $8 and the only other current single figure hope is Angel Capital for Clinton McDonald.

Ben Melham partners the in-form Harry Angel colt from barrier seven third-up on the weekend with the horse coming off a half-length win in the Guineas Prelude.

Helmet (2011) was the last three-year-old to complete the Caulfield Guineas Prelude – Caulfield Guineas double Angel Capital is after this weekend.

He has a task ahead however if he is to turn the tables on Broadsiding after finishing over sixth back ninth behind Saturday’s top elect in Eagle Farm’s Group 2 Sires’ back in June.

Mayfair meanwhile is at $11 for Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott with the perennial placegetter coming off a string of promising top three runs including a third at big odds in the Golden Rose narrowly beaten.

Waterhouse incredibly is yet to train a Caulfield Guineas winner and the stable launches a two-horse assault on the field this season with Mayfair joined by Wanaruah ($15) in the starting line-up.

Team Hayes‘ Group 2 Stutt Stakes winner Evaporate chasing a fifth straight win and the untapped Chris Waller-trained Written Tycoon colt Private Life both at a current quote of $13 present as the other key contenders.
