Hawkesbury Race 2 - The Lawn Shed (Bm64)
INSIST (3) returned from a four-month spell with a gritty win last start over 900m at Newcastle, just holding on after finding the front halfway down the running. Hasn't followed up second-up in the past but he is more furnished now and should go on with it. USEAPIN (1) closed powerfully but just ran out of ground last time out over 1150m at the Kensington track. Carries the same weight today after the claim in a much easier race. In-form filly who is the clear threat. COUPLES RETREAT (8) is back from a 166-day spell. Consistent performer last prep including a comfortable maiden win here over 1000m. Recent Warwick Farm trial winner who looks set for a positive return. IOWNA BENZ (5) resumes after a five-month lay-off. Opened the maiden prep with a couple of wins before failing at her only other run. Should return bigger and better this time in work. NOW IS THE HOUR (7) has been about the mark all prep and with McDonald up today is certainly in the mix.

Second-up. First-up after four months favourite; won by a nose at Newcastle Bm64 March 20 over 900m defeating Ride The River carrying 58kg at $3.10. Previously second-up ran last of 7 at Warwick Farm Grad Bm68 on October 7 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Zoubaby carrying 57kg at $17. No reason he cannot get the job done again.

Racing first-up today. Finished off last preparation sixth of 11 at Moonee Valley 3yo Bm70 October 25 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Rich Dottie carrying 55kg at $16. On debut second of 10 at Warwick Farm 3yo Mdn August 21 over 1100m, soft track; a long neck behind Enriched with 55.5kg at $21. Looks forward enough after a recent trial win. Looks all set for a bright return.
