King’s Gambit, the Peter & Paul Snowden-trained I Am Invincible colt, leads the charge as the $4.50 favourite in the latest markets on the Group 1 $750,000 sprint over 1100m at Ladbrokes. King’s Gambit aims to become the first three-year-old Oakleigh Plate winner since Portland Sky (2021). He boasts a win at Caulfield and impressive Sydney form, including a Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes third. After a dominant Group 2 Roman Consul Stakes victory, he returns fresh with a lightweight (50kg) and a dream barrier (1) to overcome. Asfoora, the $6 second favourite in the markets at Ladbrokes, seeks redemption after a narrow defeat in the Group 2 Rubiton Stakes. This Flying Artie mare trained by Henry Dwyer boasts a strong track record at Caulfield and the distance. Benedetta ($9) and Sghirripa ($9.50) are other contenders to watch. Benedetta, trained by Jason Warren, is a Group 3 winner with consistent form. Sghirripa, trained by Shane & Cassie Oxlade, has won four of his last five starts, most recently dominating the Group 3 Standish Handicap at Flemington in January. Rey Magnerio ($11), Kallos ($12), and Najem Suhail ($14) offer potential value with their recent form and racing styles. The race is set to run as Caulfield Race 9 at 4:55pm (AEDT) on Saturday.
