Kaleo and Ethan Brown present compelling value at $20.00 for Caulfield's 1600m contest under trainer C Maher.
This combination boasts an impressive strike rate with one win from their two starts together.
The gelding has been building momentum this campaign, with blinkers applied for the first time at Flemington last start where he stormed home strongly.
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.
Kaleo's tactical advantage comes from a favourable barrier draw that allows Brown to position closer to the pace rather than relying on the come-from-behind tactics we've seen previously.
This inside draw could be the key difference, allowing the pair to control their destiny rather than hoping for racing room late.
The double-figure odds look generous for a horse showing clear signs of improvement and sporting the perfect jockey-horse combination.
With the addition of blinkers proving effective and a race setup that suits, Kaleo shapes as the value runner in what shapes as an open affair.
Odds subject to change.
