Snowden optimistic Hurry Miss can break duck at Hawkesbury
Randwick trainer Peter Snowden will be hoping promising mare Hurry Miss can live up to her potential and break through with a win in Tuesday's HRC Motel 4YO&Up Maiden Plate (1300m) at Hawkesbury, with Tommy Berry taking the ride. Snowden has started the Yulong-owned daughter of Alabama Express four times, and she has been placed in each of them, including a resuming second at Kembla Grange. 'She's always shown us her share of ability,' said Snowden. 'She was placed at Kembla Grange on debut and then had a couple of city placings in her second preparation. 'She resumed the other day at Kembla Grange again and went down narrowly when second again. She's drawn the rails at Hawkesbury and should get every chance to break through.' Snowden has two other runners set to go around at Hawkesbury, with Look Here lining up in the Blakes Marine Maiden Handicap (1100m) with Andrew Adkins in the saddle. Loading He also has Sukeban, to be ridden by Tom Sherry, lining up in the XXXX Gold Class 1 Handicap (1100m). Look Here is on debut after four trials including two recent hitouts, while Sukeban is resuming having won the Romantic Dream at Tamworth in April. Meanwhile, champion jockey James McDonald will make a rare midweek appearance at a Hawkesbury provincial meeting when he heads to the track to partner Tuscany in the Blakes Marine Maiden Handicap (1100m) for Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, and Golden Century for Chris Waller in the Pioneer Services Maiden Plate (1500m).

Hawkesbury pair primed to maintain Snowden's winning form
The winning form of Randwick trainer Peter Snowden is poised to continue at Hawkesbury on Tuesday when he sends around two leading contenders at the meeting. Snowden, who has been enjoying a steady stream of success of late, will have Zing To Me in the Blakes Marine Maiden Handicap (1100m) with Tom Sherry to ride, while the in-form Inoue contests the Elite Sand & Soil Benchmark 64 Handicap (1100m) with Mitchell Bell in the saddle. 'Zing To Me is resuming from a spell and she ran second at Hawkesbury back in August of last year at her only start,' said Snowden. 'She's had a trial earlier this month leading into this first-up run and she won that well on a heavy track. She's well bred being by Capitalist and out of Zingaling, and she is ready to run well fresh.' Snowden has given Inoue two runs back from a spell and the son of Shalaa and The Darling One has won each of them at Gosford and Kembla Grange. 'He ran well in his trial before resuming and doing the job well to win at Gosford on Anzac Day,' Snowden said. Loading 'And he followed that up with another good win at Kembla Grange. Mitchell Bell has been on in both of those wins, and he sticks at Hawkesbury. He's drawn well in barrier three and can make it three in a row if he can get things to go his way again.' Hawkesbury trainer Brad Widdup will also have just the two runners going around at his home track on Tuesday when he has Diamond Show and Reverberates running in the race he sponsors, the Brad Widdup Racing Provincial Maiden Plate (1600m).
