Hawkesbury (NSW)
Soft 5
R1 – Pioneer Services Handicap (1100m)
Analysis
A tricky race with plenty of first starters engaged. ROCKET GIRL debuts from a sharp yard and profiles well to run a bold race. PEYTON showed ability placing at Kensington last start and should improve again. HONEYSUCKLE is another on debut from a respected stable and must be kept safe. LAFITE also makes her first appearance and looks a genuine threat.
Selections
10. Rocket Girl (3) – $3.40
13. Peyton (8) – $6.50
7. Honeysuckle (4) – $13.00
2. Lafite (9) – $10.00
R2 – Elite Sand & Soil Handicap (1100m)
Analysis
The race looks to centre around the main chances. LIGHTHOUSE LASS has been ultra consistent this prep and maps perfectly from the inside draw. LIPSTICK broke through nicely last start and has trialled well since, suggesting more to come. STUBBORN EMMELIE is building a solid record and continues to improve. ADMIRE ME resumes but has winning form at the track and shouldn’t be overlooked.
Selections
7. Lighthouse Lass (1) – $4.00
6. Lipstick (7) – $15.00
9. Stubborn Emmelie (5) – $21.00
8. Admire Me (3) – $13.00
R3 – Blakes Marine Handicap (1600m)
Analysis
A fairly even contest with a few strong hopes. LONTRICE improved into the race first-up and should take benefit from that run. DEMMO DERMY was very good fresh and gets all the favours from the inside draw. ALMAAZ has been consistent this campaign and comes through solid form. JADE SUNSET just missed last start and looks ready to go close again.
Selections
2. Lontrice (2) – $2.10
- Demmo Dermy (1) – $18.00
- Almaaz (7) – $5.50
- Jade Sunset (3) – $7.50
R4 – Evergreen Turf Handicap (1100m)
Analysis
PRETTY CHEEKY resumes off a long break after winning her last two and looks capable of continuing that form. FIORENZA has trialled well leading in and can make an impact fresh. CRIMSON BONNET draws ideally and could run a cheeky race. DEAR JEWEL comes off a placing in stronger company and has claims again.
Selections
7. Pretty Cheeky (5) – $15.00
4. Fiorenza (2) – $4.20
9. Crimson Bonnet (1) – $13.00
10. Dear Jewel (3) – $5.50
R5 – Darren Pullman Memorial Handicap (1300m)
Analysis
A competitive race where several have chances. SPIONE returns from a break and has trialled well, making him a leading hope. ARRIVING HOME drops back to this level and is capable of figuring. ROTAGILLA resumes and could improve sharply. ALIGNED is in strong form and backing up quickly, making him hard to ignore.
Selections
6. Spione (3) – $3.70
3. Arriving Home (9) – $6.50
- Rotagilla (6) – $10.00
- Aligned (1) – $3.60
R6 – Richmond Club Handicap (1500m)
Analysis
Looks a two-horse battle up front. STRAWBERRY IMPACT was narrowly beaten first-up and should be fitter here. BUBBLES UP impressed winning fresh and comes from a strong stable. CHOKUTO can improve second-up and has shown ability previously. SUPERFABULISTIC resumes well and has a good record at the track.
Selections
3. Strawberry Impact (9) – $8.00
12. Bubbles Up (4) – $9.00
9. Chokuto (10) – $11.00
13. Superfabulistic (12) – $26.00
