Hawkesbury Race 8 - Voodoo Ranger Cup Hcp (C1)
CHEEKY SMIRK (4) was well in the market second-up when he knocked up late in the shifty conditions to finish second over 1300m at Canberra. Maps well again and should prove too strong here on the firmer surface. Blinkers off and ready to win. CHILLI (6) heavily supported second-up when he circled the field for a gritty Maiden victory over 1300m at Canberra. Confidence is high and not without top-three prospects. MY PROCLAMA (8) sat off the good tempo second-up when she got off the mark with a tough win as fav over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Has the speed to overcome the awkward gate and can give this a shake. ARANESE (13) has a poor win record but first-up run had merit with a narrow second over 1200m at Kembla Grange. Key jockey change and assess on his good third to Oui Oui Oui three starts back.

Comes here off a 36-day let-up. Most recently raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 8 at Warwick Farm Cg&E Bm72 on February 18 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Sarrismo with 56.5kg at $12. The race before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at Canterbury Cg&E Bm72 on January 30 over 1250m, 6 len behind Watson with 55.5kg at $5.50. Capable, however the wide barrier here will make it tough.
