Racenet and Herald Sun form analyst Chris Vernuccio takes a look at the Wednesday meeting at Caulfield Heath.

BEST BET

KINGS VALLEY (R8 No.7 – $2.80)

Kings Valley won first-up in a Horsham maiden and has finished a close second in two runs as favourite since, including at the track and distance last start.

NEXT BEST

INEXORABLE (R6 No.7 – $3.60)

Inexorable has been racing well without a win in his past five starts since scoring first-up at Bairnsdale in September. He was narrowly beaten at the track and trip last time out and should go close again.

VALUE BET

DEEKAY (R5 No.1 – $5.50)

Deekay looks well placed to break through in a no metro wins race after contesting stronger benchmark races against the likes Baraquiel, Miss Aria, Yellow Sam and Zou Sensation.

THE JOCKEY

CRAIG WILLIAMS

FLAT CHAT (R2 No.7 – $7), RUN LIKE HELL (R3 No.4 – $10), CASTELLAR (R4 No.6 – $6), BETTER LINK (R5 No.5 – $3), MAISY (R6 No.11 – $4.40), SOCIAL CONSCIENCE (R7 No.3 – $4), PURVEYOR (R8 No.5 – $4.50).
