Dean Watling's Hawkesbury preview

Summary of Best Bets:

Race 4 No.4 Kokatahi
Race 7 No.2 Oui Oui Oui

Race by race overview

Race 4:

(4) Kokatahi looks incredibly hard to beat in this contest. He savaged the line first up over 1250m before starting $3.20 at his next start. He was decked at the 300m and didn’t play any part in the race. Back to provincial level with a senior jockey going on board reads very well. Short but I suspect he’ll start shorter. The stable mate (2) Indigo Star is the only danger.

Selections:

(4) Kokatahi
(2) Indigo Star

Suggested Bet: Win (4) Kokatahi

Race 7:

Racing NSW Provincial-Midway Championship Qualifier. Good speed expected up front from the very kind 1400m starting point. Keen to side with the locally trained (2) Oui Oui Oui, the 4yo mare hits this race in career best form bringing three consecutive wins. She has been kept up to the mark with a strong tick over trial and the cherry on top is her tactical versatility from a perfect gate.

(1) Rolling Magic is the danger, maps well also and brings back to back strong figures to this contest. Add to that he’s two from two at Hawkesbury. (9) Just In Time gets right down in the weights and is the third of the smart group to map ideally on speed. Only beaten 1.9L last start at Gold Coast and is fit with a tick over trial between efforts. If they overdo it up front, watch out for (10) Miss Spacegirl to be rattling home over the top. She brings the best last start form line and has ticked the 1400m now.

Selections:

(2) Oui Oui Oui
(1) Rolling Magic
(9) Just In Time
(10) Miss Spacegirl

Suggested Bet: Win (2) Oui Oui Oui
