Hawkesbury tips and results

Our price $5.00 · SP $11.00 · Chad Schofield

Our price $2.20 · SP $2.90 · Ashley Morgan

Bluebird Bay brings strong second-up credentials (1-0-1 from 2 attempts) and has won at this track previously. The likely fast tempo suits his racing pattern and Ashley Morgan sticks with him. The cross-over nose band first time suggests connections are looking to help him settle better.

Our price $20.00 · SP $26.00 · Molly Bourke

While his recent form has been poor, he's been racing in stronger company and the drop back to this level could see significant improvement. The 1.5kg claim from Molly Bourke helps offset his disadvantages.

Our price $2.80 · SP $1.90 · Jay Ford

His third at this track is encouraging, and he draws perfectly in barrier 2. While resuming from a spell, his first-up record shows he can perform fresh. The main query is adapting to the Good 4 surface as all previous runs have been on soft ground.

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.00 · Mollie Fitzgerald

Polyester Girl represents the unknown quantity in this field as a first starter. The addition of a tongue tie first time suggests connections expect a forward showing, while the engagement of a claiming apprentice provides a weight advantage. In a race with very fast predicted tempo, her likely midfield settling position could be advantageous.

Our price $2.20 · SP $1.75 · Dylan Gibbons

Progressive mare who won impressively last start over this distance at Kembla Grange. Gets the services of in-form jockey Dylan Gibbons and appears to be improving with each run. The slight class rise shouldn't trouble her based on her dominant last-start victory.

Our price $9.00 · SP $41.00 · Adrian Layt

Her form has been inconsistent, but she drops in class here and should appreciate the likely fast tempo.

Our price $4.50 · SP $8.00 · Ashley Morgan

Progressive gelding who won impressively last start at this track over 1800m. Has an excellent record at Hawkesbury with a win, a second and a third from four starts.

The fast tempo should suit his racing style, and Ashley Morgan stays aboard after their last-start success.

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.60 · Chad Schofield

Lightly-raced gelding who should improve significantly second-up from a spell. Has an excellent record at this distance with a win and a second from two attempts.

Our price $7.50 · SP $5.00 · Siena Grima

Our price $10.00 · SP $26.00 · Jeff Penza

Our price $6.50 · SP $7.50 · Andrew Adkins

Our price $8.00 · SP $9.00 · Rachel King

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.50 · Tommy Berry

Prorata represents excellent value second-up from a spell with a good record when second-up. The Hickman-trained gelding has a solid record at this distance with a win and a third from two attempts. Dropping significantly in class from previous runs and with Tommy Berry aboard, he should be competitive despite the wide barrier. His record of 2 wins from 8 starts shows ability.
