Hawkesbury Tips July 3


Gotta Go Gladys Super Maiden Plate Tips (Race 4)


Hawkesbury Value Bet - Race 4 No. 13 Mountain Queen

This debutante is a half-sister and stablemate to Can't Touch This, who was a first-up winner on heavy ground in January, although Mountain Queen looks more of a middle-distance/staying type.

Connections opted against a 1200m Warwick Farm maiden on Wednesday and they've made the right call, with 1300m at the provincials a better starting point.

Mountain Queen has picked up late in two lead-up trials, having worked through a flat spot via the latest at Canterbury and Jason Collett has been aboard in both heats.

Hawkesbury Next Best Bet - Race 7 No. 1 Duke Of Bronte

First-up over 1100m on wet ground won't be easy, however, Duke Of Bronte was a 6.8-length winner via his only heavy track attempt and the June 13 trial was encouraging.

The four-year-old led throughout on return last November when successful in a Randwick Highway and as a result of that victory, he was in the market for a metro BM78 second-up.

He didn't progress over summer and given the searching second prep, where Duke Of Bronte completed seven starts as a late three-year-old, another decent break wouldn't have hurt.

Clarendon Tavern BM64 Handicap Tips (Race 8)


Hawkesbury Best Bet - Race 8 No. 5 Unusual Prospect

While he lost at an odds-on quote, it was eye-catching Australian debut from Unusual Prospect, who ran the fastest last 200m of the Kembla Grange program in that January 29.

The O'Shea & Charlton-trained galloper was spelled after that performance, having debuted in New Zealand back in November and he's a more furnished horse this time in.

Unusual Prospect sustained a wide run when breaking through first-up and while he stays at 1600m, it will be a testing mile and he looks capable of working through the grades.
