2023 Caulfield Cup field, betting: Likely field taking shape
Soulcombe is $5 favourite for the Caulfield Cup.
The likely field for Saturday's $5 million Caulfield Cup is taking shape.
The field will be declared after the running of Wednesday's Coongy Cup, which the winner is exempt from ballot in the Caulfield Cup.
The Mike Moroney-trained Gregolimo is the only horse who can make its way into the field.
The Coongy Cup is run at 2.05pm Wednesday and the Caulfield Cup field will be revealed soon after.
It was confirmed on Monday that Duais would not back up from the Might And Power Stakes and is instead targeting the Cox Plate.
A capacity field of 18, plus four emergencies, will be declared.
The barrier draw will be completed later on Wednesday.
Without A Fight is one of the leading fancies for the Caulfield Cup.
