The second race on the bumper 10-event card scheduled for Caulfield Cup Day today is the $100,000 Listed Hoyts Food-Spices Stakes (1400m) due to jump at 12:10pm (AEDST).

The 2010 Hoyts Food-Spices Stakes still has seven three-year-old colts and geldings left in contention following the scratching of #4 Multahem.

Hot favourite to win is Peter Snowden’s consistent Commands colt Skilled currently paying $2.15 through [sportsbet].

Drawn on the rails and coming off a gallant third to Anacheeva in the Caulfield Guineas Prelude at this track and distance, Skilled is also our top pick to win Race 2 at Caulfield today.

Caulfield – Race 2 – Hoyts Food-Spices Stakes

• Races.com.au Favourite: #1 Skilled – Rated Special to Win at $2.15 [sportsbet]
• Top Place / Each Way Pick: #2 Territory [sportsbet]

Skilled looks hard to beat in the small field despite their heft 57.5kg weight, while the Lee Freedman-Territory is our second elect.

Well-bred Lonhro colt Territory is coming off a last start win over 1400m at Flemington and should be right up there at the line.

If you are looking for more value and to get in on the exotic markets, our best tip is to have a Quinella on Skilled and Territory.
