James Cummings is confident about the preparation that veteran Avilius has had this preparation, and that he is set to produce the best run of his campaign in Saturday’s 2020 Caulfield Cup.
“He’s sailing along beautifully and he’s highly likely to produce the best run of his campaign,” Cummings said.
“We suspect he’s coming from an excellent form race in the Hill Stakes.

“The sight of Avilius storming home in the Caulfield Cup would bring great pride to the stable.
“He has been a top-class multiple Group One winner, but that has now pushed him close to the top of the weight scale in this handicap.
“He has earned a berth to tackle these stayers in Australia’s premier mile and a half handicap.”
Avilius is currently a $34 chance for The Caulfield Cup.
