Hawkesbury racing tips

—

Race 1. (13:30) HRC Motel Maiden (1000m)

#5 – Infant Warrior @ $2.90

BET NOW

Infant Warrior looks to cap off three consecutive placings with a win, and this race is there for the taking.

The three-year-old filly by Anders wasn’t far behind the winner last time out, and natural improvement is enough to take it close.

Take the odds before they shorten on race day.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (14:05) Pioneer Services C1 (1000m)

#3 – Honey Perfume @ $3.10

BET NOW

It’s about time Honey Perfume put a win on the board after five consecutive placings, and this race is there for the taking.

The Matthew Smith-trained mare owns a win and nine placings from 11 starts, so she has missed a placing only once in her career.

The $3.10 could shorten, so take the current odds.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 3. (14:40) Micway Midway Maiden (1300m)

#4 – Astound Beauty @ $5.50

BET NOW

Astound Beauty should be ready to make an early impression after some pleasing trials, including a third placing at Canterbury.

The three-year-old daughter of Astern is bred to show early speed, and the in-form Alysha Collett takes the ride.

After opening at $8, strong bets have come her way.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 4. (15:15) Richmond Club Maiden (1500m)

#4 – Kokatahi @ $2.40

BET NOW

Chris Waller lines up Kokatahi, who won’t take long to post a win after four placings from five starts.

The three-year-old son of Farnan didn’t fire at Warwick Farm last time out, but his second placing at Randwick was a much better effort.

Money has come for him, and punters should expect big bets on race day.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 5. (15:50) De Bortoli Wines BM64 (2000m)

#6 – Think We’re There @ $3.10

BET NOW

Think We’re There is getting close to scoring an overdue win, and we’re happy to stick with him.

The five-year-old gelding by So You Think is bred to enjoy these distances, and he finished third in his most recent attempt over 2000m.

Tim Clark rides, so expect him to settle handy and kick well.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (16:30) XXXX Gold BM64 (1300m)

#4 – Johnny @ $2.45

BET NOW

Johnny has been backed and beaten a few times this campaign, but he won’t get a better chance to score a win.

The Peter Snowden-trained gelding owns a win and three placings from six starts, and there isn’t as much depth to this field.

The $2.45 could firm to around $2 on race day.

Stake: 2.5 Units

Race 7. (17:10) Racing NSW Provincial C5 (1400m)

#2 – Oui Oui Oui @ $3.50

BET NOW

The winning run of Oui Oui Oui continues after posting three wins on the bounce, including a victory at Randwick last time out.

She could be a smart type in the making after resuming from a spell in excellent order, and running at midweek level is ideal.

$3.50 is much better than expected, so take the value.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (17:50) Clarendon Tavern BM64 (1300m)

#4 – Skirmish @ $16.00

BET NOW

Seeking back-to-back wins is Skirmish, who was too quick for them at Randwick last time out.

The three-year-old filly by Smart Missile won at $21 odds to break maidens, and punters get value odds once again.

We’re happy to include her on an each-way basis.

Stake: 1 Unit
