February 4 - On Saturday horseracing fans in Melbourne, Australia can enjoy a big day of racing at Caulfield Racecourse including the AUD$400,000 CF Orr Stakes (Gr 1) with a field of 10 weight-for-age runners, including favorite, Typhoon Tracy, who is expected to blow the competition away.

Just one of the reasons Typhoon Tracy will go into the 1400m turf race well-backed, is that she drew barrier one, which is every connection's dream. Said her regular jockey, Luke Nolen, 'Barrier 1 is better than 10, but it probably doesn't matter where she draws as she's got that tactical gate speed.'

If Typhoon Tracy storms a win in the CF Orr Stakes, it will be the third Gr 1 win of her career. It will also make her only the third female in Australian horseracing history to win the prestigious race. 'Whether she leads will depend on what the riders of Danzylum and Sniper's Bullet want to do,' said Nolan.

On January 16 this year, Danzylum won his first stakes race, the listed AUD$151,00 Chester Manifold Stakes, his fifth career win over 1400m. As such he is no stranger to the race distance and could pose a big threat to Typhoon Tracy. His connections have always described him as a 'consistent' runner.

Sniper's Bullet, meanwhile, hasn't raced in Melbourne since coming fifth in the Emirates Stakes (Gr 1) last year. But in his two subsequent starts, the Railway Stakes (Gr 1) and the Kingston Town Stakes in Perth, he chalked up two convincing wins. He could pose the biggest threat to Typhoon Tracy.

The CF Orr Stakes is the first day of the coveted three-day Caulfield Festival of Racing, which is expected to attract many of the best runners from Melbourne and beyond. No doubt race goers will watch the CF Orr Stakes and Typhoon Tracy in particular very closely, but she'll have to work hard to win.
