Horse Racing Tip Long-priced roughie Master O’Reilly could cause the upset of the day by finishing in the money so lock him in a Trifecta with the two favourites at Sportsbet now!
to bet with

Currently at the very short quote of $1.50 to win the Yalumba through Sportsbet, Bart Cummings’ Cox Plate champion So You Think is the new weight-for-age star on the Australian racing scene and looks hard to beat again today.

High Chaparral four-year-old So You Think has won both of his starts this season, most recently the Group 1 Underwood Stakes (1800m) at this track and will have the same jockey Steven Arnold aboard today.

With an unbeaten spring record, a good barrier three draw and the advantage of being prepared by the Cups King Bart Cummings, So You Think is the Races.com.au favourite to win.

Caulfield Race 5 – Yalumba Stakes

Races.com.au Favourite: #6 So You Think – Rated Special to Win at $1.50 [sportsbet]
Best Place Bets: #1 Master O’Reilly and #2 Whobegotyou [sportsbet]

Our best value bet to make on the Yalumba Stakes today is a Place wager on the $101 roughie of the field, Master O’Reilly.

At $26 to Place through Sportsbet, Master O’Reilly could prove the top bet of the day. The Danny O’Brien-trained eight-year-old has been less-than-impressive this season most recently finishing eighth to So You Think in the Underwood.

But, with an ideal barrier one draw and a preference for Dead tracks, we are tipping the veteran to rise in Race 5 at Caulfield today and finish in the money.

Our other favourite runner to Place is proven weight-for-age performer Whobegotyou, the Mark Kavanagh-trained Street Cry gelding is coming off comprehensive win in the Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes at Moonee Valley and should be fresh after a month break.
