Caulfield Guineas 2022 tips
Saturday's field is a big one, but it is Golden Mile ($2.90) who is the outright favourite and has received a lot of support in the market.
The talented Godolphin colt finished fourth in the recent G1 Golden Rose in a quality field that included Everest-bound Jacquinot. Golden Mile has two wins and a placing from four career starts and is searching for the step-up in distance to a mile. With the outstanding James McDonald booked to ride, all things point towards the victory.
Berkeley Square ($4.60) sits on the second line of betting and will be chasing a third-straight victory. The gelding hasn't been racing against the same quality as the favourite, but is in strong form and could factor into the finish.
The only other runner at single-figure odds at this stage is Tijuana ($8.00) and is coming off a win as favourite in the G2 Stutt Stakes two weeks ago. Unlike the top-two horses in the market, the Hayes-trained colt has one start at the mile for one victory.
At bigger odds, Foujita San ($23) profiles nicely but will have to overcome the widest gate. With only one win from five career starts to date, he has experience at the mile already and finished second in his previous start. From the inside draw, Elliptical ($17) hasn't had much love in the market but will be third-up on Saturday and fit for the race.
Osipenko ($19) and Amendable ($13) also can't be dismissed and could themselves run into a place.
FINAL TIP: Golden Mile ($2.90 with TAB)
