<p><strong>Kaleo</strong> and <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/jockey-list">Ethan Brown</a> present compelling value at <strong>$20.00</strong> for <strong>Caulfield's</strong> <strong>1600m</strong> contest under trainer <strong>C Maher</strong>.</p> <p>This combination boasts an impressive strike rate with one win from their two starts together.</p> <p>The gelding has been building momentum this campaign, with blinkers applied for the first time at Flemington last start where he stormed home strongly.</p> <p>That effort, where he was ridden quietly before unleashing a powerful finish, mirrored the sectional times of Burma Star and suggests he's primed for victory.</p> <p><strong>Kaleo's</strong> tactical advantage comes from a favourable barrier draw that allows <strong>Brown</strong> to position closer to the pace rather than relying on the come-from-behind tactics we've seen previously.</p> <p>This inside draw could be the key difference, allowing the pair to control their destiny rather than hoping for racing room late.</p> <p>The double-figure odds look generous for a horse showing clear signs of improvement and sporting the perfect jockey-horse combination.</p> <p>With the addition of blinkers proving effective and a race setup that suits, <strong>Kaleo</strong> shapes as the value runner in what shapes as an open affair.</p> <p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/horse-racing/australia-nz/caulfield/race-7-9836063">Markets available here</a></p> <p>Odds subject to change.</p>
