Victorian racing on Wednesday heads to Caulfield Heath, where eight races have been set down. The track as of Monday afternoon is a Soft 5 and given how well the track drains, I suspect the track will be in good order. You can find Adam Page's best bets for Caulfield Heath below!
Caulfield Heath Racing Tips: Wednesday., December 4th 2024
Race 6: Senet Gambling Law Experts Handicap 1100m - 6.30pm AEDT
8 Butternut Princess looks to have returned in really good order for Moody/Coleman. She resumed at Kyneton where she was off the speed before peeling wide to make a sustained run and loomed to win, getting better as the race went on in an impressive win. Good upside/improvement to come and strikes a winnable race in town.
4 Loafer is a leading contender. She resumed over 1100m at Kyneton where she was a well supported favourite and she didn't give her supporters too much concern, sitting on speed and she was far too good in a strong display. Good racing style and has upside. Hard to beat.
10 Shadhavar has been pretty good in two runs back from a spell and will press forward you'd assume. They rode with a sit first up and it didn't quite work out so they rode her with intent last time and she made amends, leading throughout and was quite strong. Harder here, but with her racing style, she'll give herself every chance.

Race 7: Stow Storage Solutions Handicap 1800m - 7.00pm AEDT
10 Hawkins does have that look of being a Derby horse in 2025 given the breeding and the way he has raced in two career outings. Did more than enough on debut at Sale before going to Seymour where he got better as the race went on and was impressive in winning. He'll love the rise to 1800m and has upside/scope, unlike most here.
3 Austrata is two weeks between runs for Reece Goodwin since racing over this track/distance when off speed and kept chasing but was held on the line when beaten 4.5L by Divine Crown. He has that 1800m run under the belt and Lane sticks.
8 King Of Wessex looks to have returned well and the rise to 1800m is ideal. He resumed over the mile at Bendigo where he got a fair way out of his ground but finished off with purpose in a pretty good return behind Private Jumbo. Fitter and up in trip, B Shinn on, he appeals.

Race 8: Sportsbet Handicap 1500m - 7.30pm AEDT
4 Navy King is the straight bat play in the get out. He resumed in the China Bowl at Ararat where he had a beaut run in transit and tried hard but just found one better in handy mare Mawallock. Fitter and up in trip, ideal map, upside...he's the one to beat.
10 Presser comes here with fresh legs, having not raced since Nov 2 at Morphettville over the mile when on speed and tried hard but couldn't quite see it through, run down late by Hasseltoff. Tricky draw but a good racing style and has solid enough form lines around him.
8 Saint Lazare has returned well and commands respect as a knockout chance after a win at Kyneton where he got into a nice spot just off the speed before angling wider and let down with purpose late to finish best and win. Gets in well after the claim and maps ideally once again.
