Form expert Brad Waters analyses Saturday's nine-race card at Caulfield, presenting his best bets, quaddie and exotic selections.

The Everest placegetter Growing Empire has run his last race and will stand at stud in the spring. Owners Yu Long Investments announced the three-year-old would head to the breeding barn after only 11 starts. Growing Empire won four of his 11 starts and more than $3 million in prizemoney. The Zoustar colt was a Group 3 winner at both two and three but measured up to sprints when placed against the older horses in the Group 1 Manikato Stakes and The Everest last spring.
