Its been confirmed that Delphi will back up and run in the Caulfield Cup and Damien Oliver will ride. He has 52.5kg but may ride 0.5kg over at 53kg. But Delphi is a big player for sure with that rating and weight heading into the Caulfield Cup.
It could be a wet Caulfield Cup too if what is predicted happens:

Who knows might get to the light side of heavy. Or heavy side of soft. Either way it opens things up a bit.

It has a pretty good record on soft ground but an even better record on heavy ground (3 starts for 2 wins and a 3rd). Might be worth having a cup of coffee bet on the horse – not as talented as the favourites but if the track deteriorates due to the rain then who knows. You need to find a horse who will get through the rain affected track. Quick Thinker was paying $201 on Sunday, now he has shortened to $51.
If the track deteriorates then for us as punters it makes things a bit tricky.

Likes Caulfield. Won 2 on the soft. Has had a great lead up. Flying under the radar a bit.
Can’t believe I am tipping a “Willow” horse but reckon he is a good eachway bet @ $12.00.
