Hawkesbury Race 3 - Group 1 Thoroughbreds Mdn Plate
VAN HOVEN (5) shouldered the 59kg from the awkward gate with a tenacious on-speed second over 1600m at Kembla Grange in a stronger race. Will handle the extra trip and take catching with the key jockey change. MY CARTOUCHE (6) handled the rise in trip and grade when she boxed on late to finish a narrow second over this distance at Randwick Kensington. Will roll forward again and give plenty cheek. KAWERAU (2) has needed the two runs back and expect to see the blinkers sharpen him up today as he stretches out in trip. Group 1 winning apprentice jumps aboard and has solid each-way claims. LORD WOOTTON (8) well bred gelding who struck trouble at the start on debut with a plugging sixth over 1400m at Newcastle. Anticipating sharp improvement over the extra journey.

Form hard to fault. Most recently gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 9 in a Super Mdn-Sw at Kembla Grange on September 26 over 1600m, long-neck behind Nomadic with 59kg at $4.60. The race before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 10 in a Mdn-Sw at Kembla Grange on September 12 over 1600m, 1.0 len behind Legaselli carrying 59kg at $3.50. Has good early speed and will take some running down fourth up.
