Shayne O'Cass's tips, inside mail for Hawkesbury, Albury on Tuesday
Form analyst Shayne O'Cass presents his best bets, value selection and quaddie picks for NSW racing at Hawkesbury on Tuesday, plus his tips for Albury. â– â– â– â– â– HAWKESBURY TIPS BEST BET Race 4 No.3 SUPER NUI: Has won at the venue; won by eight on a Heavy 9 last start. NEXT BEST Race 7 No.3 HOVLAND: Lightly-raced Dundeel who broke his maiden here by four lengths. VALUE Race 1 No.4 LIKE ANYTHING: Caught the eye late at Canterbury on debut last month. QUADDIE Race 4: 3 Race 5: 1,2,4,5 Race 6: 1,2,9 Race 7: 3,4 JOCKEY TO FOLLOW Kerrin McEvoy will be rightfully popular in the TAB Jockeys Challenge. HAWKESBURY INSIDE MAIL LIKE ANYTHING (4) is trained by Ron Quinton who won two races at Canterbury with the dam, Duchess Pedrille, and 11 races all over the place with her dam, Mamzelle Pedrille. Like Anything was $31/$41 back into $31 when she fifth, beaten six-lengths, at Canterbury on debut over 1250m. Everything about the run said next time and 1400m. BELLA CAVALLO (1) is a well-bred colt by Russian Revolution out of the Tasmanian Oaks winner, Iggimacool. Has trialled rather well too. ALL TOO CLEVER (7) is back to provincial grade off a good city run. BET: LIKE ANYTHING (4) to win, quinella 1,4. ZING TO ME (4) is a sister to Peter Snowden stablemate Ka Bling. Every foal out of the mare can gallop, this one included. Ran a super race on debut here behind Agenda Setter. Smashing trial win on May 5 at HQ. COLUMBIA BLUE (1) was runner-up to Pierolite on debut; that horse was placed at the midweeks straight after. Jockey Adam Hyeronimus has ridden 11 winners in May so far! HARRY'S EVIDENCE (2) has trialled right up to the mark. BET: ZING TO ME (4) win or is scratched, COLUMBIA BLUE (1) to win. DIAMOND SHOW (7) is undoubtedly one of the most valuable horses racing today. Her dam is by Zabeel. Her fifth dam is none other than Eight Carat whose Zabeel offspring include Octagonal and Mouawad. Bred to get better with each passing day and so far, that is the case. MURPHILLY (9) has probably run what you would say are six good races in seven starts. Could even say her last start was her best given she was beaten a lip, and on a Heavy 10 too. BET: DIAMOND SHOW (7) to win, quinella 7,9. SUPER NUI (3) has a tidy strike-rate of two wins, two seconds and a third in her nine starts. Her record at this venue is one win, one second from four visits. She is one for one at the distance and perhaps most significantly, given the conditions, she won her last start on a heavy 9 by eight-plus lengths. Another good muddie here is RATHORAN (4), a dual acceptor on the card. CELTIC SIN (6) ploughed across the Heavy 8 at Wyong first-up to win. Always had talent; maybe this is 'her prep'? BET: SUPER NUI (3) to win (best bet). OUI OUI OUI (2) is a daughter of who else but Yes Yes Yes and was tipped after a creditable debut fourth to Shangri La Spring at Kembla on Cup day last year. She resumed there on April 15 this year and ran right over the top of her rivals to win, As for last start, she finished midfield in the 16-horse Guineas here on May 3. EXOTHRILL (4), another local, got a copybook ride by Chad Lever to win at Wyong but credit to the horse; he was easing down the last bit – and it was a Heavy 10 too. ICEMAN (1) is racing his way to a peak. BET: OUI OUI OUI (2) to win, box trifecta 1,2,4,5, DD 1st leg 2, 2nd Leg 3. CLIFTON SPRINGS (9) has won four races, three of them were on good tracks but he has finished runner-up twice in four runs on heavy and his soft numbers are very compelling relative to his price today. His last runs on heavy going were among his best. Sure to be prominent for a long way. INOUE (1) is two from two on soft. This pedigree is instantly recognisable as one of the late Don Storey's best and from memory, most of them were swimmers. BET: CLIFTON SPRINGS (9) each-way. HOVLAND (3) is quite a promising 3YO. Trained by O'Shea and Charlton, he was a $600,000 Magic Millions Yearling purchase by Dundeel out of Rimraam who won a Vanity Stakes and was third in a Surround. As for Hovland, he broke his maiden at this track, by four lengths no less. Good signs at Wyong first-up. Stablemate MAXIMUM DIVIDEND (4) really hasn't missed a beat in his five runs. Has the makings of a really nice miler/2000m-type (as well). SPACE ACE (8), the son of Pierro, has a win and three seconds from five starts. Importantly, the win was a Heavy 8. Will likely be the one they all have to pass. BET: HOVLAND (3) to win. â– â– â– â– â–

RIGHTEOUS LEGEND (6) was caught wide on debut when fourth to Zousain Bolt at Wyong last July before a length third to Montana Dawn at Newcastle two weeks later. Again caught wide when second to Mignonette when resuming at Newcastle on Apr 23. Due for a change of luck. MARAIS (4) has placed nine of 11 including a three-quarter length third to Famous One as an odds-on fav at Wyong last start. Will be prominent again. CARNEGIE HILL (2) was a nose second to Sarrismo first-up here last campaign. Strong chance. BET: RIGHTEOUS LEGEND (6) each-way. CALTSAR (4) trialled smartly in both heats prior to his debut. Justified his long odds-on favouritism when he scored by a length-and-a-half from Proclivity on a Heavy 8 at Newcastle. Can go back-to-back. STYLEBENDER (9) had a win and five placings from his last six starts last campaign. Kicked off this preparation with an all-the-way win at Muswellbrook over 1500m. Placed in his three runs here including two seconds at the trip. OCEAN DIVA (8) began awkwardly and was always well back at Goulburn first-up. Led and just pipped at Gosford last start. BET: CALTSAR (4) to win. CASSIEL (1) kicked off last preparation with a nose second to Starros over this track and distance before a close second to Zarni at Kembla. Resumed this campaign with a smart all-the-way win from Apex at Canterbury and can go back-to-back. DON'T FORGET JACK (2) scored two in-a-row including a big win at Doomben to start his career. Raced in strong company in both runs last time in. Trialling well and will make his presence felt. FLY SCOTTY FLY (4) has claims on his all-the-way win at Wyong last campaign. BET: CASSIEL (1) to win. CORDINA (4) debuted with a stylish all-the-way win at Kilmore before a third at Ballarat. Had trialled in Sydney and returned with two thirds at Canterbury. Drawn the pole and will take catching. MERCANTILIST (6) followed a smart Beaumont trial win with a handy win over Winning Rulet over 1200m at Gosford on Mar 15. Blinkers go on and Grant Buckley sticks. BE QUIET (5) drops back to provincial grade after her fifth to First Mission at Canterbury on Apr 20. Blinkers go on. EL PASO (4) was held on straightening until the 300m when fifth to Always Right at Newcastle two starts back before an impressive win from O Cara Mia over 1850m at the same track last start. Can go back-to-back. SHANGRI LA IMPACT (12) was beaten a nose by Tact over 1400m at Kembla before a neck second to Dark Arts over 1500m at Canterbury. Makes the big jump to 2000m but bred for the trip. PERFECT JUSTICE (5) didn't handle the heavy track in the Tulloch Stakes at Rosehill. The rest of his recent form has been good.
