News Corp form analyst Brad Waters runs the rule over Wednesday’s Thousand Guineas meeting at Caulfield.

BEST BET

SHE’S LICKETYSPLIT (Race 8 No.3 – $4.20)

Kiwi Group 1 winner that hit top form with the addition of blinkers at Flemington. She’s proven over 1600m and should be hard to beat.

NEXT BEST

KEATS (Race 4 No.2 – $4.80)

Flying for the Gavin Bedggood stable, winning impressively at The Valley last time. He’ll push forward and be hard to hold out again.

DYNASTIES (Race 9 No.9 – $11)

Trialled well in Sydney before she should have finished closer first-up at Rosehill. The step to 1600m will be perfect for her second-up.

VALUE BET

MASTER BARTHOLDI (Race 5 No.10 – $10)

Master Bartholdi led and won well at Bendigo after finding it too wet first-up. He’ll be fitter again and should handle the rise in class.

THE JOCKEY

JAMES MCDONALD

James McDonald booted home a treble on Caulfield Guineas Day so will head to the 1000 Guineas meeting in excellent form. REDIENER (Race 1 No.1 – $3.70), CABOCHE (Race 2 No.5 – $5.50), YONKERS (Race 3 No.1 – $5), MINSK MOMENT (Race 6 No.6 – $6.50), GREAT BARRIER REEF (Race 7 No.9 – $16), MADAME POMMERY (Race 8 No.7 – $9.50), ROOTS (Race 9 No.16 – $3.50).
