Race-by-race tips and previews for Thursday's Hawkesbury meeting
Track Soft 6 and rail out 2m from 1100m to 450m & True the remainder Race 1 6. Pimlico, a colt by renowned soft track sire Extreme Choice in the John O'Shea and Tom Charlton stable, can make a big statement on debut. Has had three improving trials coming in, comfortably winning the latest over 1045m, and drawn to get a cosy run in transit. 2. Hidden Motive is primed third-up in his first full prep, having twice placed in metropolitan company this campaign when well in the market. Likely to jump clear favourite, but still under the odds from a tricky draw. How to play it: Pimlico to win Race 2 3. Justice Warrior is a tough and improving son of Justify who can peak third-up staying over the distance. Was no match for the winner resuming in the country before only being run down late in a handy maiden at Gosford three weeks back after being backed from $3.10 into $2.70. Likely to sit outside the speed from a wider draw, and is at peak fitness. 1. Queen's Rhapsody will be hard to hold out resuming from the inside barrier. How to play it: Justice Warrior to win and quinella 1 and 3 Race 3 2. Smother is a lightly raced and talented three-year-old well placed to resume with a bang. Made up good late ground in two runs at Warwick Farm to launch his career late last year before spelling. Given an easy time in a heavy track trial at Newcastle, and draws to get cover off speed. 5. Apollo Ridge is progressive, and will be hard to stop after leading until the final few strides first-up at Wyong. How to play it: Smother to win Race 4 2. Carnegie Hill is a strong improver who finds the right first-up race, significantly with blinkers back on. Was in and around the money in three provincial runs last prep in late spring. Has been fitted with two progressive trials up to 1045m, and important to note he starts the new campaign over the same track and trip as last time when he charged home to miss by a nose. 4. Marais is hard fit and a serious threat from the inside draw, although punters are running out of patience given he's been either well in the market or a very short price when placed in three from four this prep. 6. Righteous Legend draws wider, but thrives on soft tracks. How to play it: Carnegie Hill to win
