Hawkesbury tips and results

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.60 · Adam Farragher

The perfect barrier draw should allow her to settle in a prominent position in a race where leaders have an advantage. Her form is trending in the right direction and she looks ready to peak today.

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.40 · Keagan Latham

With an experienced jockey aboard and a good barrier draw, this debutant is well-positioned to capitalize on the track pattern. The gear changes (ear muffs pre-race and lugging bit) suggest connections are managing the horse's racing manners.

Our price $7.00 · SP $5.50 · Christian Reith

The drop back in distance from 1250m to 1100m should suit, and the booking of experienced jockey Christian Reith is a positive. Drawn well in barrier 5 and could improve sharply in this company.

Our price $9.00 · SP $31.00 · Deanne Panya

Stormzino returns from a 134-day spell for top trainer Gary Portelli. While her form is limited with just two unplaced runs to date, she's likely to have improved with maturity and time between runs. Worth including in wider exotics.

Our price $4.00 · SP $5.00 · Jean Van Overmeire

Presumptuous Gal brings strong credentials having finished a narrow 2nd last start over this distance at Nowra. The David Pfieffer-trained filly has the advantage of barrier 1 and should get a good run. Her proven ability at the mile is a significant plus, and she appears to be improving with each run. The inside draw could be tricky if she doesn't begin well, but Van Overmeire should give her every chance.

Our price $8.00 · SP $16.00 · Mollie Fitzgerald

The addition of blinkers, cross-over nose band, and tongue tie suggests connections expect improvement. While first-up from a long spell is a concern, her previous class exposure and gear changes make her an interesting longshot worth including in exotics.

Our price $7.00 · SP $7.50 · Mollie Fitzgerald

Now second-up from a spell, she has a strong record at the mile (1-3-0 from 9 starts) and has performed well at Hawkesbury previously (0-2-0 from 3 starts). Well-drawn in barrier 3 with a light weight, she represents solid each-way value.

Our price $8.00 · SP $11.00 · Adrian Layt

Tom Cruising brings winning form with consecutive victories at his last two starts, including a win at the mile. He's a previous winner at Hawkesbury over this distance and should appreciate the expected fast tempo, allowing him to settle midfield and finish strongly.

Our price $7.00 · SP $11.00 · Adam Farragher

Arizona Loner has only had one career start, finishing 7th at Canterbury. Despite the wide barrier, he's likely to push forward and be on-pace according to the speed map, which could be advantageous with the track bias favoring leaders. The top weight is a concern, but as a lightly-raced gelding, there's significant scope for improvement.

Our price $21.00 · SP $10.00 · Olivia Chambers

Now second-up from a spell with the addition of a tongue tie, significant improvement is expected.

Our price $3.50 · SP $3.50 · Keagan Latham

Homeric returns from a spell with solid credentials, having shown consistency with 1 win and 1 place from 7 starts. His first-up record is encouraging with 1 placing from 2 attempts, and he's likely to be on-pace in a race that should favor leaders. The wide barrier is a concern, but his class and tactical speed should allow him to overcome it.

Our price $7.00 · SP $13.00 · Mollie Fitzgerald

Second-up today with a history of improvement in this pattern, and has won previously at this track.

Our price $2.80 · SP $4.80 · Keagan Latham

Lightly-raced 3YO gelding from the Kris Lees stable who was impressive winning his maiden at Newcastle last start. Has only had two career starts but showed significant improvement second-up and appears to have plenty of upside. The 1000m suits perfectly and he gets in well at the weights with 57kg. Drawn to get an ideal run from barrier 4 with Keagan Latham aboard.
