Caulfield Courtza Stakes: Shadhavar leads betting favorites

The Group 3 Courtza Stakes (1200m) is scheduled to take place this Saturday at Caulfield. Shadhavar enters the race as the betting favorite at $2.80 following a strong recent winning performance.

Other notable contenders include Custom, owned by Godolphin and trained by Ciaron Maher. After a recent defeat attributed to a quick turnaround in racing, Maher has implemented new strategies and secured jockey Ethan Brown for Custom’s return to black-type racing. Custom is also expected to face a step up in class. Salty Pearl, another entry from the Maher stable, is also scheduled to compete in the program.
