Ladbrokes Odds Surge (Bm78)
Immortal Star brings proven form at this level with a recent BM78 win at Sale. Her consistent record at 1200m and the gear change removing winkers suggests she's well-placed. While the weight rise is a concern, her class and recent form make her a strong each-way proposition in what appears a competitive race.
Wolfy's Caulfield record and second-up pattern provide hope despite recent disappointing runs. His track experience is valuable, and the gear change may help. The inside barrier gives him every chance to settle handy, which suits Caulfield's bias toward on-pace runners.

Manhari (Bm96)
The inside draw is crucial at Caulfield's 1200m start, and despite the class rise, his progressive form suggests he's ready for this level.

DCE Alister Clark Stakes
The step to 2000m is the main query, but his breeding and recent staying form suggest he'll handle it.

Roulette King's perfect record and recent 1800m win at Sandown shows he's a progressive stayer. While the class rise is significant, his consistent winning margins and staying pedigree suggest untapped potential. The wide barrier is a concern at Caulfield, but his tactical speed should help overcome it.
His recent Group 2 placing at Caulfield proves he can compete at this level, while first-time blinkers and the inside barrier provide tactical advantages. The distance step-up is the main concern, but his raw speed could be potent if he settles.
