Comments: Too many selections to comment on but they all look a fair chance. I selected Master O'Reilly as a Caulfield Cup contender last November so it was a good call way back then and he's been in our black book for nearly a year. Maldivian should just whup them but if there are any chinks in his armour then Master O'Reilly might be the one to find them.


Black Book: Ascot 6-14 Westerly Breeze was just OK first up against a good horse in El Presidente but steps up to a more suitable trip this time.There looks to be a bit of pace in this race, which will give her the chance to unleash her big finish. Caulfield 5-2 Vormista is a really good mare and had them covered a long way out last time. Should just about get home again. Caulfield 5-13 Guild will probably lead this field and even though she's stepping up significantly in grade is still to find her level so she might be a place chance. Caulfield 6-3 Stanzout finally had a bit of luck go his way and reelled off a quick last 400m to win, surviving a protest along the way. Should go close again with Shadoways the danger again.
