EXPERT RACING TIPS: WARWICK FARM
WARWICK FARM PREVIEW AND TIPS | EXPERT TIPS | WEDNESDAY AUGUST 20TH 2025
RAIL: +3m Entire TRACK: Heavy 10
High chance of racing here in very wet conditions given the track is already rated a heavy 10 with more showers expected to hit through race day. In recent meetings with similar conditions, the track has still played fairly but runners have generally peeled away from the inside lanes in the straight.
Best Bets
Mitch Lewis
LAY: 2. Mergeila (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $6.50)
Taking on the resuming MERGEILA who looks set to jump as the race favourite. Despite showing some decent form last prep, feel that she will have improvement to come yet out of this run. She has only had the one official trial where she didn’t really show a great deal and will be resuming from a wider barrier on a heavy rated track. She will likely be better suited out of this run with the extra fitness
lay
Mitch Lewis
BACK: 3. Metaphorically (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $2.75)
METAPHORICALLY bounced back to winning form last start after running lame the start previously. He remains at a similar grade here today, maps to be prominent and can handle the wet tracks. Off his last start there has been winning form franked with the 2nd horse winning last start. If METAPHORICALLY can hold the form he produced last start he may prove hard to catch.

3. Burma Star
1. West Of Swindon
10. Gambers
2. Extractor
Betting Strategy
BACK: 3. Burma Star (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $2.00)
BURMA STAR appeared to resume in handy order last start at Canterbury. He showed enough to be able to handle the wet track conditions when hitting the line strongly and is fitter now 2nd up which is ideal. Looks to has an advantage on others here who are resuming or on debut.
10. Koibito
9. Spice Prawn
7. Lady Pankhurst
5. Mean As
Betting Strategy
KOIBITO recently made his debut in a stronger level handicap race giving a good enough account for herself there. She could be an improver off that run here 2nd up and better for the debut run, looks to get a prominent run. SPICE PRAWN hits peak fitness now 3rd up this prep, she comes out of a solid run on a heavy track last start and is suited rising in trip. LADY PANKHURST resumes in an easier level than the races she was contesting last prep, likely is better suited over more ground but class could prevail. MEAN AS makes his debut off some strong recent trial form and looks the best of those on debut.
4. Chidiac
7. Southern Heiress
8. Vanessi
2. Mergeila
Betting Strategy
LAY: 2. Mergeila (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $6.50)
Taking on the resuming MERGEILA who looks set to jump as the race favourite. Despite showing some decent form last prep, feel that she will have improvement to come yet out of this run. She has only had the one official trial where she didn’t really show a great deal and will be resuming from a wider barrier on a heavy rated track. She will likely be better suited out of this run with the extra fitness
4. Prima Bella
6. Bev’s Nine
9. Shalaa Gold
2. President
Betting Strategy
Looks a super competitive race here, but can warrant a small play on PRIMA BELLA who sets up well in this at decent value. She has won 3 of 4 starts so far this prep and maps to push forwards and race on speed. Heavy track should prove no issues for her given she has won 2 from 2 starts on heavy rated tracks. She can handle these conditions and gets the soft race map.
7. Island Dream
4. Fairway Star
5. Misterkipchoge
12. American Starlet
Betting Strategy
ISLAND DREAM is finding consistent form in her lightly raced career. Peaking in fitness here 3rd up off the back of a solid win on a heavy track last start, this doesn’t appear a much harder level race so he should again be competitive. FAIRWAY STAR was a last start winner over this track/trip and maps to get a favourable race map again, but maybe tested on a heavy track. MISTERKIPCHOGE has been consistent in Saturday level races of late including a recent win, the wet track may test but he is suited dropping in class. AMERICAN STARLET ran a close 2nd to FAIRWAY STAR over this track/trip last start but may handle the heavy track better which gives her an advantage.
9. The Replicant
4. Signor Tortoni
10. United Kingdom
6. Allapercanto
Betting Strategy
Open race but the value runner may easily be THE REPLICANT who has an impressive record on heavy rated tracks (12:2-6-1) the only knock on his chances is the wide barrier, he may need luck for a run depending on how the track is playing. SIGNOR TORTONI looks the runner who gets run of the race up on speed and he was a winner on a heavy track 2 starts back. UNITED KINGDOM resumes here, he has been a winner 1st up previously in good level races but is untested on wet tracks outside of trials. ALLAPERCANTO is best suited over this 1400m trip but will need to get a touch of luck from an inside barrier
3. Metaphorically
14. Ringarosa
13. O’invincible
5. Silentsar
Betting Strategy
BACK: 3. Metaphorically (WIN) for 2 units (Rated at $2.75)
METAPHORICALLY bounced back to winning form last start after running lame the start previously. He remains at a similar grade here today, maps to be prominent and can handle the wet tracks. Off his last start there has been winning form franked with the 2nd horse winning last start. If METAPHORICALLY can hold the form he produced last start he may prove hard to catch.
