Brad Waters - Wednesday October 18

The Melbourne Racing Club's spring carnival reaches a crescendo on Saturday with a huge 10-race Caulfield Cup day card set down for decision and Racenet has the fields and form online.

A field of 18 has accepted for the Tristarc Stakes while the Caufield Sprint will feature runners and both races will offer $200,000 in stakes.

Eight three-year-olds will compete for $350,000 in stakes in the Group III Ladbrokes Caulfield Classic (2000m), which serves as one of the main lead-up races to the Victoria Derby (2500m).

The meeting will start with the Resimax Group Plate (1400m) at 12.15pm while the Caulfield Cup field will jump at 4:30pm.

The Listed Alinghi Stakes (1100m) will close the day at 5.45pm.

Track manager Jason Kerr has rated the Caulfield circuit as a good (3) on Wednesday morning while the rail will be in the usual six-metre position for Caulfield Cup day.
