The best Caulfield Cup betting tips each year use the Caulfield Cup form guide as the reference point and consider things like the lead-up runs, distance record, jockey, trainer and barrier of the contender.

Caulfield Cup Lead Up Races

To make sure you are not placing your Caulfield Cup bets on a no-hope horse, take a moment to check out your Caulfield Cup betting pick’s past performances in the lead up races. Your Caulfield Cup tips checklist for past performance can include the distance of the race, the jockey and even the weather conditions, which will give you an idea about how your runner might do in the Caulfield Cup.

Good lead-up races to consider the results of when doing the Caulfield Cup tips includes the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) run two weeks before at Flemington Racecourse that has produced 24 Caulfield Cup winners (since 1983) including Jameka (2nd in 2016), Verry Elleegant (1st in 2020) who did the double, Incentivise (1st in 2021) who also won both races, Duke De Sessa (4th in 2024), and most recently Half Yours (4th in 2025).

International form is stacking up more and more in the Caulfield Cup as overseas raiders make a stronger presence down under for a Spring Cups bid. A number of Caulfield Cup winners had a lead-up run outside of Australia / New Zealand – most recently the Godolphin-raced winner Best Solution (2018) who came off a Group 1 victory in Germany – and Japan’s Mer De Glace (2019) first-up in Australia – so make sure you also look at international runners when doing your Caulfield Cup tips.
