Star galloper Mr Brightside resumes in the Group 1 Orr Stakes.

Punters, how good is it to have Group 1 racing back for 2024 — the first of 19 (yes, 19!) consecutive Saturdays of Group 1 racing across Australia.

The Orr Stakes at Caulfield shapes as an intriguing contest with the return of $11 million earner, Mr Brightside, taking on star three-year-old Veight, and dual Group 1 winner Pride Of Jenni.

The gun two-year-olds do battle in the Blue Diamond preludes ahead of the Group 1 Blue Diamond on February 24, which is shaping up to be one of the best renditions in a long time.

In Sydney, we’ve got the $2 million Inglis Millennium at Randwick for the two-year-olds, plus the Group 3 Eskimo Prince Stakes featuring some of Australia’s highest rated three-year-olds.

CAULFIELD

Racenet iQ’s Mark Guest has done the form on all 10 races for Orr Stakes Day at Caulfield, and given his all-important quaddie selections.

Herald Sun and Racenet form analyst Brad Waters’ early oil and race-by-race look at the Caulfield program, including his best bet around $3.60. “Well placed to threaten first-up under favourable weight terms while his Geelong trial indicated he’s in for a good preparation.”

Laurie ‘Longshot’ Sainsbury has found one at $18 and one at $21 at Caulfield. “Think she represents good value here and I expect her to be finishing hard.”

Cameron Happ is very keen on one at $5 at Caulfield. “Super fit now and drawn to do no work in the run, he’ll kick hard and should take holding out.”

ROYAL RANDWICK

Ray Thomas and Ron Dufficy have provided their expert insights on all 10 races at Randwick. Duff’s best bet is in the Eskimo Prince Stakes. “I think he is the best 1200m horse in this race.”

Racenet iQ form analyst James Molony has dissected the Randwick meeting, and is keen on a star three-year-old resuming from a spell.

Racenet’s Clinton Payne is back from a Christmas-New Year spell in the paddock, and is keen on one at $31 early on the card. “Drops to 52kg on Saturday, there’s no stars in this and she can run a cheeky race at odds.”

DOOMBEN

Graeme Carey has found a $9.50 value play at Doomben. “This extra distance suits and no one is riding better than Cejay Graham.”

SOUTH AUSTRALIA / WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Heath Pope and Aaron Mills have found a few best bets at Morphettville and Bunbury, including one at $12, in which Pope is “gobsmacked” at the price.
