Wednesday metro racing heads to the Caulfield Heath circuit, with a competitive eight-race card featuring several progressive gallopers returning to suitable setups.

A number of lightly raced types resume or rise in trip throughout the meeting, while recent jump-out form could prove important across the program.

Caulfield Heath Tips May 27


Ive > Handicap Tips (Race 4)


Caulfield Heath Favourite - Race 4 No. 1 Prestar

Prestar comfortably brings the best exposed form into this BM64 and resumes on Wednesday against his own age off two Werribee jump-outs.

The gelding moved beautifully when winning the first of those heats in decent time on May 1.

While the slow getaway in the latest trial is a slight concern, Prestar still got home nicely for third in a strong heat on May 15, which was comfortably the fastest 800m trial of the morning.

Connections have opted to geld him after a short and failed Queensland preparation over summer, although he did show good ability as a two and early three-year-old.

Both victories came on rain-affected ground, the latest a city win in this grade at Randwick earlier in the season, which made it two-from-two on Heavy tracks.

Caulfield Heath Value Bet - Race 5 No. 8 Igotcha

While no threat behind a fit Eternal at Geelong first-up on April 22, Igotcha still worked home strongly into second with the fastest closing sectionals of the race.

That effort saw her respected in the market at Warrnambool next time, where she was a touch flatter but still competitive in an eighth-of-16 finish.

It is also worth noting the mare had no prior second-up form, so there is a willingness to forgive that latest effort.

Igotcha has proven effective on most surfaces, with her latest victory recorded on a Heavy 8 track after a previous BM70 success on Good ground.

The main knock is that the mare is a long time between wins, although she has mostly contested tougher metro assignments over the last 18 months and this is one of the weaker races she has seen in some time.

Tile Importer Handicap Tips (Race 7)


Caulfield Heath Next Best Bet - Race 7 No. 8 Killiana

Killiana did have every chance first-up at Sale as a beaten odds-on favourite after making her own luck on speed.

However, the filly was only grabbed late there, while the first two runners cleared out from the remainder of the field.

That effort also came off a near 12-month absence, so there should be a fitness benefit to come from the April resumption.

Killiana has since won a tick-over trial on the Caulfield Heath circuit, which should bring her on further for Wednesday’s assignment.

The filly showed good ability during her two-year-old season, including a Gold Rush victory over Salty Pearl, who was later a Group 2 winner and Group 1 placegetter.

Sportsbet Fixed Odds Exotics Handicap Tips (Race 8)


Caulfield Heath Best Bet - Race 8 No. 16 Royal Flare

Class was expected to carry Royal Flare a long way first-up last Wednesday despite drawing wide over 1000m, although connections have been rewarded by waiting a week.

The four-year-old is much better placed stepping to 1200m on Wednesday and also comes up with a low draw.

There is still a wait on a start, however, with the gelding needing a few scratchings to gain a place in the final field.

The backup option is Friday at Pakenham, where Royal Flare would likely start a short-priced favourite if unable to gain a run here.

His first campaign was highly encouraging, including a debut win on rain-affected ground over Cooly and Pasadena, who both went on to become metro winners.
