Hawkesbury Race 6 - De Bortoli Mdn Hcp
UNION (5) eased in betting on resumption and ran accordingly with a tiring third over 1000m at Kembla Grange. Can take control early and prove hard to get past. MAYWEATHER (1) resumes for his second prep. Was stirred up before the race and ran accordingly with a dismal last over 1200m at Newcastle on October 19, 2024. Fitted with the two trials and gelded over the break. Sharp improver. LATEST FLAME (8) is a Savabeel filly from the stakes-winner Melt on debut for the Widdup stable. Wasn't knocked about in the two trials and will be strong late. LEGASELLI (9) resumes. Raced without luck in Group company, including her last start twelfth in the G3 Baillieu over 1400m at Rosehill last March. Two good trials should have her forward enough for this.

Four-year-old mare making debut by Shamus Award out of Vain Attraction. Purchased for AUD $ 8,000 (Inglis 2024 Premier Yearling Sale). Was third in a Warwick Farm barrier trial over 815m on June 26. Following that fifth over 745m in a Randwick trial on July 20. Watch for any market confidence.

Lining up for just third start. At very long odds at debut, 6th of 8 at this track Mid 3yo+ Mdn on July 2 over 1000m, on a slow track; 12 len behind Spare with 57kg at $81. Second-up 4th of 12 at Canberra Acton Mdn-Sw on July 24 over 1080m, 2 len behind Terra Lumina carrying 57kg at $101. No easier this time and others rate better.

Third race start. First start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Canberra 2yo Hcp on February 6 over 1000m, 5 len behind Music Time with 57kg at $5.50. Went for a break before returning 3rd of 8 at Kembla Grange 2yo Mdn-Sw on July 16 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Hearts Affair with 57kg at $4.40. Maps well again and fitter now.

On debut. Three-year-old filly by Savabeel out of Melt. At the most recent trial was out of the placings at Rosehill over 1030m July 24. Fitter for recent trials and don't underestimate.
