Red hot Caulfield Cup tips from the Professor and the Gelding and the Professor’s Parlay

Leave a comment

Not the nicest of days for the Caulfield Cup with heavy rain overnight and more showers expected during the day. That may make it difficult to tip a winner but that has never discouraged the Professor and the Gelding from scanning the fields for the best bets. The track is currently rated a Soft 6 but with further rain during the day the track may deteriorate. The rail is in the true position for the entire circuit.
