Caufield Cup Odds – Latest Odds for 2023
Odds for this race are available with the best Australian bookmakers. We looked at how bet365, Unibet and BlueBet have priced up the outright winner market.
As you can see, Gold Trip’s recent success in the Turnbull Stakes has catapulted last year’s Melbourne Cup hero into favoritism for this year’s Caulfield Cup. That said, it is a close affair at the head of the betting with West Wind Blows, Soulcombe, and Without A Fight considered serious players.
Odds will shift as the race nears so always double-check with your chosen bookie before confirming your bets.

Caulfield Cup 2023 – Tips and Predictions
Here you will find our best bets for the Caulfield Cup. We have included the horse we think can flourish at Flemington in 2023 as well as a bigger-priced outside for each-way punters. As well as expert betting tips, you can also read on to see a more detailed look at the 2023 race.
Soulcombe to Win the Caulfield Cup
The Chris Waller-trained four-year-old makes plenty of appeal now returning to this distance. The son of Frankel has run two excellent races over this 2400 metre distance, first when winning in the Queen’s Cup last November and again in the Roy Higgins in March when second giving weight to Goldman. Those showings came at Flemington but he has also won at this track when securing victory in September. He looks like the extra distance will help him massively and he can turn around his third behind Gold Trip in the Turnbull Stakes.Hoo Ya Mal Returning to Form
Hoo Ya Mal was a talented operator in the UK but didn’t perform on his Australian debut in the Melbourne Cup last year. He then ran okay in two subsequent races at Randwick before a good showing behind Montefilia at Rosehill in recent weeks. He lost by half a length when giving 4lb to the winner that day and it is an indication the Gai Waterhouse-trained gelding could be returning to form just at the right time. His price of 21.00 with Unibet makes him an interesting each-way play.Caulfield Cup 2023 – Race Preview
The latest renewal of the Caulfield Cup looks an interesting one. Some horses could fire themselves into the Melbourne Cup picture while others will have this solely as their main target for now.
Last year’s Melbourne Cup winner Gold Trip swooped past the field to win the Turnbull Stakes on his last appearance and will carry top weight should he line up. He will have to fight off the challenges of West Wind Blows, Soulcombe, and Without A Fight if he does. The final field of 18 is already starting to take shape with the Mike Moroney-trained Gregolimo the only horse able to crash the party should he win the Coongy Cup this week.
West Wind Blows and Soulcombe were second and third respectively in the Turnbull Stakes, while Without A Fight was last seen down the field to Alligator Blood’s win at this track in September. Meanwhile, Montefilia came with a late run to nab Hoo Ya Mal at Rosehill under two weeks ago. All of those mentioned will appreciate this particular race distance but the final weights and barrier draw, which also takes place later this week, is worth keeping an eye on.
