Track Soft 5 and rail out 4m from 1100m to 450m & True the remainder We open with a smaller field of improving three-year-olds on a surface that will likely get back to Good 4 by the start. Home track filly 2. Razella reloads off a five-week freshen-up from a low draw.
She showed good improvement to find the line last start at Kembla and has been kept ticking over nicely at the trials. Racing returns to Hawkesbury on Thursday with an eight-race card. Dangers: Emerging filly 1.
Vivezza is set to jump a short-priced favourite, after leading until the final strides on heavy going against a metro line-up, and is the obvious threat. Draws to control the tempo again, but still under the odds. Then there’s a gap to the rest headed by 3.
Think We’re There, who can rebound back on top of the ground at his fourth start after a shocker in heavy going at Taree. He backs up in 10 days with gear changes and a leading city jockey takes over. How to play it: Razella to win and quinella 1 and 2.
Back to the five furlongs in a more open affair strictly for the three-year-olds and it shapes well for emerging colt 12. Cryptonic on much firmer ground if the home stable goes this way at his second start - he has also been accepted to run in Race 4. He rolled to the front here on debut and kept fighting to be beaten only a long neck.
Dropping back 100m in trip is a plus and the leading hoop sticks solid. The horse won a previous trial smartly on Good 4 rating. Dangers: Big market watch on resum.
