One of the closing races on today’s Caulfield Guineas Day program is the Herbert Power Stakes 2012 and below are the insider Races.com.au tips and exotic selections on this Caulfield Cup ballot exemption event.
Due to jump as Caulfield Race 8 at 4:50pm (AEST) the $220,000 Group 2 Herbert Power Stakes (2400m) has attracted a bumper field of 16 starters the firming favourite of which is John Gosden’s European raider Gatewood.
The Melbourne Cup fancy hasn’t raced since their second in the Group 2 Prix de Deauville (2500m) in France back in late August, but the lightly-raced stallion boasts an excellent first-up record and an ultra-consistent strike rate.
As such the Aussie punters are getting right behind them for their debut down under today with Gatewood topping the Herbert Power Stakes odds at bookmaker.com.au at a quote of $3.30 and firming.
There are three other single-figure fancies in the markets with Ekraar mare Exceptionally ($5.50) out wide in barrier 15 coming off an eye-catching third in the Naturalism Stakes from barrier 16 (of 16), Craig Williams’ mount Excluded ($8) and the Ciaron Maher-trained local Mr O’Ceirin ($8).
So these are the ones the bookies fancy, but are they the ones the expert tipsters at Races.com.au are tipping today?
Can Gatewood get the job done and secure his spot towards the top of the spring cups markets or will there be an upset Herbert Power Stakes result from a credible galloper such as another international in Shahwardi ($12) or Michael Brady’s last start JRA Cup winner Bianmick ($12)?
# 2 Gatewood ($3.30)
#4 Shahwardi ($12)
#8 Exceptionally ($5.50)
#6 Dance With Her ($15)
