The Ciaron Maher-trained pair of Jimmysstar and Another Wil can’t be split at the top of betting, with horse racing bookmakers installing the pair at $4 apiece, allowing punters to decide who should start favourite on Saturday. It was Another Wil who got the upper hand in the Group 2 Damien Oliver (1400m) at Flemington on Derby Day, with Jamie Kah steering the son of Street Boss to an emotional victory. Another Wil was a late withdrawal from the Group 1 Champions Mile (1600m) last Saturday and should get every chance to justify the decision after drawing gate five. Jimmysstar gets the opportunity to turn the tables heading back to his favoured Caulfield circuit, where the five-year-old gelding is undefeated in three starts. Damien Lane is set to be legged aboard from stall one and gets a 1.5kg swing in the weights on his key rival and stable companion. With the pair firmly in the market, there are plenty of options for value players, with the multiple Group 1 winner Southport Tycoon leading the chances at $10.00 with Neds. The son of Written Tycoon will need to lug the top weight of 58kg to victory and gains the services of Mark Zahra from stall 13. The Phillip Stokes-trained Climbing Star ($11.00) returns to Melbourne after contesting the Group 3 Sydney Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on October 19 and appears set to peak third-up into the campaign. Meanwhile, the likes of War Machine ($14.00) and three-year-old contender Bittercreek ($34.00) are sure to garner plenty of support at the each-way odds with Playup. The 2024 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes is the penultimate race on the Caulfield program and is scheduled to get underway at 5:05pm local time. 2024 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes Final Field 1.
