Hawkesbury racing tips

—

Race 1. (11:20) Midway BM72 (1500m)

#11 – Starboard @ $4.80

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Starboard owns two wins and three placings from six starts, including a win and a placing at Hawkesbury.

The four-year-old son of Astern had backing when running fourth at Randwick last start, but he was only 1.6 lengths behind the winner.

It was a good effort, and he could bounce back.

Stake: 1.5 Units

Race 2. (13:55) Tab Highway C2 (1500m)

#1 – Canadian Ruler @ $6.00

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Canadian Ruler got back to winning form at Canberra last time out when scoring by a length.

The four-year-old son of Vancouver is always around the mark with two wins and seven placings from 12 starts, so punters can back a consistent type.

Getting 2kg off his back adds to his appeal.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 3. (12:30) St Johns Park Bowling Club Clarendon Stakes (1400m)

#1 – Aerodrome @ $2.05

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Aerodrome won well on debut at Warwick Farm when beating Hidden Motive, and although that form hasn’t been franked since, he has ability.

The two-year-old son of Ole Kirk showed a nice turn-of-foot to win, and he should sit just off the pace from barrier five.

We’re happy with the current odds, which have drifted.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 4. (13:05) Clarendon Tavern BM78 (1100m)

#8 – Epic Proportions @ $17.00

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Punters get healthy odds for Epic Proportions, who runs his best races fresh up with three starts for two wins and a placing.

He has enough ability to beat this field, as he showed earlier in his career, and we’re happy to stick with him.

The odds make him a worthwhile bet.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 5. (13:40) Blakes Marine BM78 (1800m)

#4 – Quantum Cat @ $5.50

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

We have backed Quantum Cat on many occasions without success, but we’re not about to jump off his back now.

The Chris Waller-trained gelding is a three-time winner from 15 starts, and he didn’t get all favours when seventh at Warwick Farm.

The each-way odds make him a worthwhile bet.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 6. (14:15) Elite Sand & Soil Hawkesbury Guineas (1400m)

#13 – Candlewick @ $5.50

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Candlewick looks to have a bright future after posting three wins from four starts, including a win at Warwick Farm last time out.

She only gripped on, but it was a tough fresh up effort, and she’ll only improve with the run under her belt.

54kg is ideal and punters get a good price.

Stake: 2 Unit

Race 7. (14:50) Pioneer Services Hawkesbury Crown (1300m)

#1 – Belclare @ $4.00

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Class is with Belclare, who is much better than her recent form, but running sixth behind Jimmysstar isn’t a bad form guide.

She drops in class for this run, and although she has been lumped with 60kg, her class should take her a long way.

Take the current odds, which are generous.

Stake: 2 Units

Race 8. (15:25) Richmond Club Hawkesbury Gold Cup (1600m)

#9 – Tavi Time @ $8.00

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Consistency is with Tavi Time, who owns eight wins and five placings from 19 starts, which is excellent considering the grade he races in.

The five-year-old son of Tavistock ran second behind Sandpaper fresh up, and he owns three wins from four second-up starts.

55.5kg is ideal, and the odds are too good to overlook.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 9. (16:05) Hawkesbury XXXX Gold Rush (1100m)

#10 – Kin @ $11.00

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Value is with Kin, who owns two wins and three placings from seven fresh up starts.

The James Cummings-trained daughter of Impending is better than a four-time winner and getting in with 53kg makes her tough to beat.

The odds are good enough to include her in picks.

Stake: 1 Unit

Race 10. (16:45) The Lawn Shed BM88 (1400m)

#7 – Gallant Star @ $4.20

Use Code: 'GOBET500'Check Offers

Boasting six wins and seven placings from 16 starts is Gallant Star, who looks to bounce back after running fourth in the Country Championships.

The five-year-old son of Zoustar gets a healthy 2kg off his back, and we expect him to produce a good effort.

$4.20 is a fair price from bookmakers.

Stake: 2 Units
