The Group 2 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m), to be run this Saturday at Flemington, is expected to have a major impact on 2012 Caulfield Cup Odds at bookmaker.com.au

Eleven of the twelve runners in the $300,000 Makybe Diva Stakes are nominated for the 2012 Caulfield Cup and with several horses resuming for the first time this season the race will be a key lead-up to the world’s richest 2400m race, which will be run at Caulfield racecourse on the October 20^th.

The Anthony Freedman -trained Mawingo is currently on the third line of Caulfield Cup betting at bookmaker.com.au and will run for the first time this season in the Makybe Diva.

The German-bred stayer was handpicked by the Australian Bloodstock Syndicate to be a cups contender and qualified for the 2012 Caulfield Cup field with an impressive victory in the Group 1 Doomben Cup.

Six-year-old Manighar finished third behind Mawingo in the Doomben Cup, at the end of an incredibly successful Autumn Racing Carnival.

The Peter Moody-trained gelding became the first horse to win the Australian Cup, Ranvet Stakes and BMW Stakes in the same season and ran a gallant second behind More Joyous in the Queen Elisabeth Stakes.

Manighar is currently priced at $26 to win the 2012 Caulfield Cup and is also a leading contender for the 2012 Cox Plate and 2012 Melbourne Cup.

Last year’s Caulfield Cup winner Southern Speed returns to Melbourne after a successful start to the season in Adelaide.

The Southern Image mare finished third behind Happy Trails in the Spring Stakes before winning the Penny Edition Stakes a fortnight ago.

Southern Speed is currently on the fifth line of 2012 Caulfield Cup betting at bookmaker.com.au at $21.

December Draw returns to the track after almost a year away with a broken splint bone in his hind leg, which was suffered in last year’s Caulfield Cup.

The Mark Kavanagh-trained stayer appears to be in excellent physical condition and has a strong first-up record.

He is currently paying $26 at bookmaker.com.au to win the 2012 Caulfield Cup.

Shenzou Steeds ($51), Zabeelionaire ($51), Midas Touch ($51), Mourayan ($67), Moudre ($71), Dance With Her ($101) and Efficient ($101) are all Makybe Diva Stakes runners who will be hoping to head on to the 2012 Caulfield Cup.
