(Photo by George Salpigtidis/Racing Photos) The time-honoured Group 1 Might And Power Stakes (2000m) is one of three Group 1 events sharing top billing at Caulfield on Saturday afternoon, with a quality field of eight set to line up in the $1 million feature. Mr Brightside is the clear $1.50 favourite with horse racing bookmakers, and it’s easy to see why, after only being bested by Pride Of Jenni in the Group 2 Feehan Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley on September 27. The seven-time Group 1 winning son of Bullbars should get every chance to add to his extraordinary resume, with Craig Williams set to gain the gun-run throughout from barrier one. The Chris Waller-trained Atishu is on the one-week backup after a strong outing in last Saturday’s Group 1 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) and finds herself on the second line of betting at $5.00. James McDonald heads south to take the reins and will have it all to do drawing widest in barrier eight. Coco Sun ($14.00) is rock-hard fit third-up into the campaign and should get a soft run in transit from barrier two with Blake Shinn in the saddle, while the Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained Deny Knowledge ($10.00) should provide some much-needed tempo in a race devoid of any natural early speed. The Kris Lees-trained pair of Kalapour ($34.00) and Adelaide River ($16.00) bring some differing form-lines from Sydney, both coming through the Group 3 Kingston Town Stakes (2000m) at Randwick on September 21. The 2024 Might And Power Stakes is the first leg of the Caulfield quaddie on Saturday afternoon and is scheduled to get underway at 3:50pm local time. 2024 Might And Power Stakes Final Field 1.
