Alcopop is one of those backed in the Caulfield Stks

We have the information for the great Spring racing.

It's Caulfield Guineas day with plenty of other G1s on the program.

MR1 - Yet again Adamantium ($3.50 to $3.20) has been backed at TAB as those in the know have been with him each start this prep. He rewarded them at Caulfield and looks to do it again. Whitlam ($4.80 to $4) can kick off the day for the stable on a positive note.

MR2 - An even and fairly ordinary G3 fillies race sees Hollyweird ($4.80 to $4.40) and The Fairy's Kiss ($8 to $5) those supported.

MR3 - First of the day's lead ups to the Cups is the Herbert Power and there have been some very strong moves. Macedonian ($26 to $12) is best out to the 2400m, Tanby ($4.60 to $2.90) is from an in form stable and the up and coming Shewan ($5.50 to $4.80) could be one of Robert Smerdon's best ever flat stayers.

MR4 - Not much you need to say here but that Black Caviar at $1.08 Betfair will probably still be backed by the big boys who think it's money for jam.

MR5 - This is the first of the G1s and it's an open Caulfield Stks. After Whobegotyou's scratching, the three main ones to have met with interest have been At First Sight ($8.50 to $5), Alcopop ($11 to $6.50) and the favourite and Underwood Stks winner Lion Tamer ($3.80 to $2.90).

MR6 - In a wide open Toorak, three down in the weights are being backed at the TAB. Luen Yat Forever was $9 to $6, Torio's Quest ($10 to $8) after his great escape at Rosehill and Fast Clip ($10 to $6.50) after deliberately missing the Epsom.

MR7 - While a small field runs in the Caulfield Guineas, it hasn't stopped the punters going in hard for the two favourites at different times. They initially landed on Smart Missile with big bets tightening him from $3.20 to $3 but has gotten back to $3.40. However they then went into Helmet who was $2.50 to $2.70 then whacked into $2.40.

MR8 - Two good goes on the mares Valentine Miss ($4.40 to $3.20) and Miss Octopussy ($13 to $8.50) in the Sportingbet Sprint Final.

MR9 - Some interest shown in several here. Testa My Patience was $3.60 to $3.40, Utah Saints ($7 to $5) who likes this track and At The Heads ($16 to $13).

SR1 - In a quiet race Jester's Girl was $13 to $12 and stablemate Rock Monster ($35 to $26).

SR2 - Often the new season 2yos have good betting on speck when markets open and here Tatra ($4.20 to $3.40) and Temora Girl ($11 to $8.50) were first backed.

SR3 - Pretty quiet here with Shamus the $3.60 Betfair fav.

SR4 - Two nice 4yos here are well liked with Teardrop Rock ($8.50 to $7.50) and first up winner King Gladiator ($5 to $4.60) definitely in the reckoning.

SR5 - Unbeaten John O'Shea Galileo gelding Lightinthenite ($3.20 to $2.50 TAB) is perhaps the go of the day and you'd think can only keep improving.

SR6 - In the Angst the most interest was shown in Zaira ($7 to $4.80) coming back from Melbourne.

SR7 - Joe Pride can turn horses around as we saw last week and Tom's Rocket ($4.60 to $3.60) could be another one.

SR8 - Two have attracted attention in the last with Adnocon ($17 to $15) and Erewhon ($17 to $13) looked at but it's possible the favourite Somepin Anypin ($2.10) will be the big go.
