One of the best Australia Day showdowns taking place at Caulfield Racecourse tomorrow, Wednesday January 26, is Race 5 on the card the $100,000 Listed Zedative Stakes (1200m) due to jump at 5:24pm (AEDST) and below are the insider Zedative Stakes betting tips.

The 2011 Zedative Stakes final field features 10 top three-year-olds with #4 Eclair Mystic the red hot favourite to win currently paying $2.60 through Luxbet after being backed in from their opening quote of $2.90.

Drawn ideally in barrier four for tomorrow, the Robert Smerdon-trained Stratum gelding has been in red hot form throughout their career winning five of their seven starts.

Most recently Eclair Mystic ran a game third first-up in the Group 3 Standish Handicap (1200m) and should improve second-up in the Zedative tomorrow with a good 55.5kg weight.

The Races.com.au crew think it is best not to lay the favourite here, word at the Caulfield track being that Eclair Mystic is definitely the one to beat tomorrow.

Caulfield Race 5 – 2011 Zedative Stakes Tips

• Races.com.au Favourite: #4 Eclair Mystic – Rated Special to Win at $2.60 through Luxbet
• Best Place Bets: #1 Anacheeva and #5 Spirited Eagle

With the favourite in such good form and gaining popularity with the punters, the odds on Eclair Mystic are quite short.

So, for punters seeking more value and wanting to get in on the exotic markets, we have two other Zedative Stakes runners tipped to finish in the money.

First is Caulfield Guineas winner Anacheeva resuming racing for the season.

Peter Moody’s consistently good colt Anacheeva may not have raced since winning the Caulfield Guineas on October nine, but will finish in the top two easily here and make a real race of it with the favourite.

The other best place chance for tomorrow is Not a Single Doubt gelding Spirited Eagle, winner of five of their seven starts, who paying around $9 in the market adds some value.
