Saturday’s $5 million Caulfield Cup is stacked with talent, and we’ve boiled down the form to its sharpest edge – just two words per runner. Whether you’re chasing value, backing the favourite, or building your exotics, this quickfire guide gives punters a snapshot of every horse in the field.
Read on for the Races.com.au team’s exclusive two-word 2025 Caulfield Cup form guide.
The opening leg of the popular Spring Cups Double and a key lead-up to the $10 million Melbourne Cup on the first Tuesday of November, serious bragging rights are up for grabs this weekend as we get set to crown our next Caulfield Cup winner.
Half Yours, a recent Group 3 Naturalism Stakes winner down in weight, has been a dominant favourite in Caulfield Cup betting – but can he rise to the challenge?
There are plenty of good gallopers he needs to beat including a strong and largely underrated international contingent.
To help you separate the genuine Caulfield Cup contenders from the also-rans, we’ve summed up every runner with just two words so you can get to punting on this great event!
