Photo: Bruno Cannatelli Trainer Danny O’Brien has confirmed that seven-year-old Young Werther will take his chance in Saturday’s Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m), as the gelding aims for his first stakes victory. After winning at Caulfield on August 31, Young Werther put in a strong performance to finish fifth, just 2.5 lengths behind Via Sistina in the Group 1 Turnbull Stakes (2000m) on October 5. “He’s going as well as he’s ever gone. That was a good run in the Turnbull, and he’s come out of it in good shape,” O’Brien told Racing.com. “He will never get a better opportunity to win a Caulfield Cup. This is his opportunity.” Young Werther will be making his second attempt at the Caulfield Cup, having finished eighth behind Incentivise in 2021. “He wasn’t quite mature enough then, he’s ready for it this time,” O’Brien added confidently.
