Herald Sun and Racenet form analyst Chris Vernuccio looks at the Caulfield Guineas meeting at Caulfield on Saturday.

BEST BET

ANOTHER WIL (R10 No.4 – $3.10)

Another Wil found a way to win first-up after he was slow away and then next start in the Testa Rossa Stakes when he was nearly sideswiped into the running rail, which is a sign of his class. He was favourite in the Doncaster Mile when at the end of his prep, but has a great chance here to secure that Group 1 win.

NEXT BEST

JIMMYSSTAR (R5 No.7 – $2.10)

Jimmysstar silenced a few detractors with his explosive first-up win from back in the field and he could now deliver on his potential. He is unbeaten at Caulfield and his 1400m record is sound.

OSCAR’S FORTUNE (R9 No.1 – $6.50)

WA sprinter Oscar’s Fortune excels at the 1100m with two wins and a second from three starts, including a win over Amelia’s Jewel in the Roma Cup in April. The four-year-old gelding followed that win with a close third behind Overpass in The Quokka and finished two lengths behind Benedetta in the Group 1 The Goodwood.
