Betting Tips: Early Market Movers at Caulfield & Rosehill 21/2/26

Our Early Market Movers continues to perform, now riding a three-week winning streak.

Last week there were three winners across Randwick and Flemington.

Punters have been active again in early markets, with significant moves around opening prices at both major venues.

At Caulfield, a lightly weighted filly (50kg) in a major Group 1 looks beautifully suited by the likely race shape and has been backed accordingly.

Meanwhile at Rosehill, a high-quality colt who bumped into the smart Tempted last start gets his chance to make amends — and importantly, there’s no superstar filly standing in his way this time.

 

 

 

Sheza Alibi

Could well develop into one of the stars of the Autumn Carnival.

Punters have steamed into her first-up, sending her straight into odds-on territory with strong confidence she’s ready to fire.

The stable have been highly accurate when they bet in recent months, suggesting she’s showing them everything at home.

If the price shortens again late, expect she simply wins.

 

Watch Me Rock

Intriguing Western Australian raider who won the Group 1 Railway two starts back in impressive fashion.

He’ll need to be very good to beat this field, but the willingness to travel east speaks volumes.

If further support arrives late, he becomes a genuine danger.

 

Eternal Warrior

The Lloyd Kennewell yard are never shy when they fancy one, and the early support suggests confidence is high.

He was excellent in the key colts and geldings Prelude last start, charging home strongly from the rear.

In what should be a high-pressure 1200m contest, he profiles as one who will relish the tempo and finish powerfully.

 

Point Barrow

Carries just 50kg, a huge advantage in a high-pressure Group 1 where the big guns often cut at each other.

With likely speed engaged and several higher-weighted runners vulnerable late, the race sets up perfectly for her to swoop down the centre.

Provided there’s no strong leader bias, she shapes as the one finishing best.

 

 

Monte Veebee

Bjorn Baker labelled her one of their best chances last weekend, and while she could only manage third of ten, the stable opinion remains strong.

Forgiving that effort, expect a sharp bounce-back performance.

She could dominate.

 

Shiki

Electric filly who stamped herself as a top two-year-old by winning the Gimcrack on debut.

She followed that with another strong win before running seventh in the Magic Millions when arguably disadvantaged by track position.

Look for similar tactics, ridden quietly with cover before unleashing late.

If she finds the right lane, she’ll be charging home.

 

Travolta

Interesting market move for this Waller runner, who typically produces one big run each campaign.

Second and third-up is often when these types are “Waller Ready,” and this profile fits perfectly.

With James McDonald engaged, confidence appears strong that he’s ready to peak.

 

Napoleonic

Ran an excellent second to the potential superstar filly Tempted over 1200m last start at Randwick.

He shapes as though 1400m is now ideal, allowing him to settle into a better cruising rhythm before finishing off.

Importantly, there’s no Tempted here.

That alone could make all the difference.
