Victoria’s feature racing will be at Caulfield racecourse today in which we see the running of the Group 1 Underwood Stakes which i can safely say has attracted the best field for the race in as long as i can remember and many people suggest it could be better than the Cox Plate field.
Atlantic Jewel is the odds on favourite for the race and she hopes to take her unbeaten record to 10 from 10 which she should do but not as easily as her previous nine wins. View our Underwood Stakes 2013 Field, Tips, Odds and Runner Previews.
1. Green Moon Preview:
Last years Melbourne Cup winner Green Moon returned with what was a very good first up run in the Memsie Stakes when finishing fifth. He will be looking for longer distance races over the Spring but he obviously has a lot of quality about him and shouldn’t be left out.

2. Manighar Preview:
Manighar was well supported last start and he had a pretty unlucky run throughout and should have finished much closer on the line. He will come into this race with a much needed run and could be the surprise packet of the field.

3. Mr Moet Preview:
Mr Moet went to the line untested in the Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes last start so you can’t judge him based on that run. Enjoys the distance and could surprise with a placing at odds.

4. Foreteller Preview:
Foreteller blew out the odds on favourite Puissance De Lune last start in the Makybe Diva Stakes and it was no fluke, he is one of the most under rated gallopers in Australia and always puts in a big run. Must be included in the placings.

5. Happy Trails Preview:
Happy Trails i feel was better suited last start having had the fitness edge on his rivals and i think he would be better over the mile. Wont be including him here and i doubt he will run a placing.

6. Ethiopia Preview:
Ethiopia will need a longer distance but i thought his first up run this prepration wasquite good after coming off a long break and an injury he incurred in the Melbourne Cup last year. Wont be winning here but one to watch.
Trainer: P G Carey
Jockey: R Mc Leod

7. Sea Moon Preview:
Sea Moon missed the jump badly in the Makybe Diva Stakes and wasn’t tested in the race. He was heavily supported in that race which suggests he has a lot of ability and i feel he could be the biggest danger to those in singles figures here.
Trainer: Robert Hickmott
Jockey: Craig Williams

8. Puissance De Lune Preview:
Puissance De Lune was beaten as an odds on shot last start but Glen Boss definitely didn’t put in his best ride and arguably went too early on him. Looks like he will improve with the step up and distance and may be Atlantic Jewels toughest competition yet.
Trainer: D K Weir

9. Waldpark Preview:
Waldpark had his first Australian run in the Makybe Diva Stakes and he found a lot of trouble in the race so wasn’t fully tested but it looked like he would have finished in the first handful had he had a clear run. A bit of an unknown who could cause an upset.
Trainer: Anthony Freedman

10. My Quest For Peace Preview:
My Quest For Peace will jump as one of the rank outsiders in the field and rightfully so he has no chance of winning or running a place.

Atlantic Jewel is a superstar and will continue her unbeaten record on Saturday and punters should take any odds available with bad luck or an injury the only thing that could cause her to lose.

13. Silent Achiever Preview:
Silent Achiever wasn’t tested last start in the Memsie Stakes but you would think there will need to be a downpour of rain for her to figure in the placings on Saturday.

14. Dear Demi Preview:
Dear Demi is a consistent galloper who always runs well against her age and sex although this is a totally different ball game and she is well outclassed here.
