4Che Ole
Che Ole is the standout formhorse in this maiden, with a genuine placing pattern at Hawkesbury including a narrow last-start defeat. While yet to break through for a win, the consistency and target trip/track suitability make this the most likely winner on soft ground.

8Sirius Moss
Sirius Moss arrives in good form with consistent placings and drops in grade after a competitive Class 1 run.

Orange Tsunami is building form with consistent minor placings and looks to find a forward position, which suits the Hawkesbury soft track bias favouring on-pace runners.

10Ruskana
Ruskana is flagged as a likely leader and showed clear improvement last start, finishing just over a length from the winner in a stronger Maiden race at this same track.
3rd pickWon
3Longinus
While his overall winning strike rate is modest, he is a genuine, consistent performer who has been competitive at a higher level recently.
999th pickScratched
2Deal N' Dash
Wet-track form is a positive tie-breaker at Hawkesbury.
999th pickScratched
4Portsmouth
Portsmouth was narrowly beaten last start in a Class 1 at this same track on Soft, showing he handles the surface and trip. His prior international form in staying handicaps suggests untapped class relative to this field. With a workable gate and forward settling position suiting Hawkesbury's strong on-pace bias, he rates the most reliable winning chance.
Value pick3rd

Wizard's Star is yet to win but has been knocking on the door with consistent placings, including a game 3rd at this same track on Soft last start.

Elite stable and jockey combination reinforces genuine intent. Barrier is a slight concern given the slow projected tempo, but her class edge should see her overcome it.

Fresh from a solid Hawkesbury run at this same trip, with a red-hot jockey booking and favourable barrier, she looks well placed to go one better under the forward-biased conditions.

Clarendon Tavern (Bm64)

Winner4. Flying From AboveSP $4.20
★ Top pick5th
2The Replicant
The Replicant's drop from BM72 to BM64 is the standout form angle in this race - he was competitive at a much higher level recently and now meets easier company. Wet track form is solid without being outstanding, but with barrier 5 and a proven racing manner, he rates the most likely winner on current shape.
2nd pick4th
1Castagnola
Blinkers added for the first time could sharpen him up after a plain run last start.
999th pickScratched
7Pawa
Pawa has real upside with a proven Hawkesbury win and King's booking is significant given her hot recent form. However, the 41-day gap and one poor run last-up create some uncertainty. He rates as a value-laden third pick given his course form and the positive jockey engagement, projecting to race in a forward position which suits this track's bias.
999th pickScratched
8Royal Chic
The step up to BM64 is notable, but the light weight, positive barrier and in-form rider make this filly a genuine each-way threat capable of running a competitive race in this moderately open field.

3Last Druid
The Hawkesbury Soft bias rewards on-pace, in-form types exactly like this, and barrier 3 is workable. Justifies favouritism on pure form grounds.
2nd pick2nd
10Spiritualistic
Spiritualistic offers a good blend of class, wet-track proficiency and barrier advantage. The rail-one draw is ideal given Hawkesbury's on-pace bias, and the trainer/jockey combination has fired at a high rate together.
999th pickScratched
2Lugarno
Lugarno is a genuine top-three chance on consistency alone, with a solid placing strike rate and recent runs at this level including a course-and-similar-class placing at Hawkesbury. The wide barrier is a mitigating factor but the track bias data suggests it is less punishing on Soft than on Heavy, keeping him competitive.
