• e-mail

The sun has been 向こうずねing on Caulfield Racecourse on Friday, 静めるing 恐れるs that a 最近の rain deluge might 原因（となる） the Caulfield Cup to be 延期するd, but punters will need to 支援する mudlarks on the sodden 跡をつける.

にもかかわらず the rain 緩和, the 量 of water that has fallen in 最近の days mean the 現在の 激しい 10 率ing is ありそうもない to be 昇格d, so the Cup will be a 本物の staying contest.

Duais had been の中で the 早期に favourites for the Caulfield Cup, but has been unplaced on all four previous runs on 激しい 跡をつけるs.

Melbourne received half its October 降雨 in 30 minutes this week while large parts of Victoria have experienced flooding or received flood 警報s from the 明言する／公表する 政府.?

Mercifully, there has been 重要な 日光 on Friday and the 予測（する） is for 乾燥した，日照りの 条件s for the big race on Saturday.?

普及した areas of Melbourne have been 攻撃する，衝突する by flash flooding after a rain deluge, but 公式の／役人s 主張する the Caulfield 跡をつける is in surprisingly good 条件.

The $5 million cup has never been cancelled, even during World War II, and?Melbourne Racing Club?(n)役員／(a)執行力のある director of racing Jake Norton said a 延期 had 'never been in 計算／見積りs'.

'It's more trying to get through this 激しい 禁止（する）d as quickly as possible to give the 跡をつける a chance to 乾燥した，日照りの out as best as it can.'

Punters will be able to frock up for the Caulfield 会合, with the rain having abated and 乾燥した，日照りの 条件s 予測（する） on Saturday.

Since Caulfield hosted the Thousand Guineas on Wednesday, the running rail has been moved out six metres to take the chopped-up inside run out of play and hopefully 供給する a surface 会社／堅い enough so as not to produce too many scratchings.

'There's not much 場内取引員／株価 on the 跡をつける until the 400m. We've covered the wear. Even though they got off the 盗品故買者 on the 味方する, we have still covered most of it,' Bailey said.

'It's not too bad at all. I'm pleasantly surprised.

'In the 前線 straight, they got wider. But they spread across the 跡をつける so you've got 一貫した wear 権利 across. It's not 過度の 損失 by any means.'

Gold Trip was only beaten a couple of lengths にもかかわらず a torrid run last start and is a 競争相手 in the Caulfield Cup, but will lug the 最高の，を越す 負わせる.

Norton said the perfect 天候 for racing on Saturday would mean a strong （人が）群がる would flock to the 跡をつける for the Cup.

'It will still be a 広大な／多数の／重要な day at the races, perfect 条件s for a day out,' he said.

'But people will have to factor in the 激しい 条件s when doing the form'?

It could be a 抱擁する day for trainer John O'Shea who has live chances in the two biggest races of the afternoon.

He saddles up second favourite Lost And Running in The TAB エベレスト in Sydney while Benaud is his 代表者／国会議員 in the Caulfield Cup.

The grey, 指名するd after 伝説の cricket 放送者 Ritchie Benaud, was an 注目する，もくろむ-catching second in The Kingston Town before finishing sixth in 負わせる-for-age company in the Caulfield 火刑／賭けるs last week.

He finished a 狭くする second to 星／主役にする galloper Hitotsu in the ATC Derby over this same distance 支援する in the autumn and if O'Shea has him 権利, then he will be 権利 there at the finish.

Smokin Romans is the favourite and deserves to be having won the Naturalism and Turnbull 火刑／賭けるs over 2000 metres. The extra distance of this won't be a problem as he has placed twice over 2400 metres and he also gets the services of エース (v)策を弄する／(n)騎手 Jamie Kah.

No 妥協 won The 主要都市の in Sydney a fortnight 支援する and loves the wet, so he 形態／調整s as a 広大な／多数の／重要な each-way 投資 here while Duais, Nonconformist and Gold Trip are all chances in a wide open Caulfield Cup.
