Hill Stakes – Caulfield Cup Odds

December Draw has firmed as favourite for the 2012 Caulfield Cup that will be run at Caulfield Racecourse on the on October 20.

The Mark Kavanagh-trained import is now priced at $9 in the 2012 Caulfield Cup betting market at bookmaker.com.au.

The seven-year-old will have his final preparatory run in the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) this Saturday; a race that he won last year before finishing last in the Caulfield Cup.

Also running in the Turnbull Stakes will be 2011 Caulfield Cup winner Southern Speed.

The daughter of Southern Image is now priced at odds of $12 to become the first mare to win the Caulfield Cup twice.

Another Caulfield Cup contender taking part in the Turnbull Stakes this Saturday is Lloyd Williams-owned Green Moon.

The Montjeu stallion has been in terrific form this campaign and is nominated for both the Caulfield Cup and Cox Plate.

Connections will decide which races he targets after the Turnbull Stakes.

The six-year-old is currently priced at $13 in the 2012 Caulfield Cup betting market at bookmaker.com.au but will his odds will be much shorter if connections announce him as a definite starter.

The big market mover in the Caulfield Cup betting market has been 2010 Melbourne Cup winner Americain.

Racing Victoria’s international scout Leigh Jordon confirmed this morning that he had spoken to leading French trainer Alain de Royer Dupre who told him he was leaning towards running Americain in the world’s richest 2400m handicap race.

The Dynaformer eight-year-old had his Caulfield Cup quote slashed from $51 to $16.

Americain is joined on $16 by fellow international galloper Jakkalberry.

The Australian-owned Italian-trained stayer arrived in Australia on Saturday and is reported to be in fantastic condition.

The other horses under $20 in the 20120 Caulfield Cup betting market at bookmaker.com.au are Newcastle Cup winner Glencadam Gold, Italian import Voila Ici, 2011 Melbourne Cup winner Dunaden and Hill Stakes winner Lamasery.

Glencadam Gold is still the favourite for the 2012 Caulfield Cup despite drawing barrier twenty-one.

Connections weren’t too upset with the draw as the imported stayer runs on the pace and most of the other fancied horse also drew outside.

The Gai Waterhouse-trained gelding is currently priced at $4.80 in the Caulfield Cup betting market at bookmaker.com.au.

Second favourite Dunaden also drew poorly and will start from the very outside of the field.

The 2011 Melbourne Cup winner has been well backed during the week but is expected to drift slightly because of the poor alley.

December Draw drew in the middle of the field and is another horse that has been well backed this week.

The Mark Kavanagh-trained import is still a question mark over 2400m having only run over the distance once, in last year’s Caulfield Cup where he was injured and finished last.

Lights of Heaven has been the market mover in the Caulfield Cup betting market at bookmaker.com.au and is now into odds of $12.

The Zabeel mare struggled early in her spring campaign but found form to finish third behind Lamasery in the Hill Stakes (2000m).

Peter Moody also has Viola Ici and Sneak A Peek in the race and he believes Sneak A Peek may be his best chance in the race.

“Sneak A Peek has worked every bit as good as any of these horses at home including Manighar,” the leading trainer said.

The five-year-old is having just his fourth start in Australia, after joining the Moody stable earlier this year, and is available at odds of $16.

2010 Melbourne Cup winner Americain, international raider Jakkalberry, defending Caulfield Cup winner Southern Speed, Luca Cumani-trained My Quest For Peace and eight-year-old Alcopop are the other runners at odds of less than $20.
