Hawkesbury Tips August 12


HRC Motel 4yo&Up Maiden Plate Tips (Race 1)


Hawkesbury Value Bet - Race 1 No. 8 Maccbi

The four-year-old recorded two placed efforts from four starts last prep, including when beaten less than a length into third when racing second-up.

The first of those efforts came when third at Goulburn second-up, while he went on to place second at Muswellbrook two starts later. 

Maccbi was beaten just over a length in that 1280m Muswellbrook event on March 14 and he was spelled subsequently.

The son of Sooboog proved a slight disappointment when finishing only fifth in a seven runner 1200m maiden at Canterbury on his return last month.

Jumping from next to the rail, Maccbi was beaten over five-and-a-half-lengths when competing in a 1200m maiden held on a Soft 7 surface.

The form of that event received a timely boost recently when the only horse to appear subsequently (Estremo) won at Canterbury last week.

Hawkesbury Next Best Bet - Race 3 No. 3 Exceed Perfection

Trained by Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott, Exceed Perfection has finished runner-up in two of his three starts this prep.

Those second-place finishes include a length defeat when contesting an 1100m Benchmark 64 handicap at Gosford last month, which was his first start in over eleven months.

While the gelding failed to build on that effort when fifth at Canterbury subsequently, it’s of note that he raced in a Benchmark 72 handicap that day.

The step up to 1400m proved no issue when the five-year-old was sent to Kembla Grange subsequently, with the gelding recording a good second-of-six there.

All three of those efforts have come on wet surfaces, including in a Benchmark 64 handicap last time and the switch to a Class 1 is in his favour.

Regan Bayliss was aboard first-up and he takes back the reins on Tuesday.

Godolphin Provincial Class 1 Handicap Tips (Race 6)


Hawkesbury Roughie - Race 6 No. 7 Montigo Bay

The daughter of Ribchester recorded a number of placed efforts last season prior to breaking through at Kembla Grange in February.

The mare came home nearly a length clear of her rivals over 1500m when racing on a good track that day.

Montigo Bay was spelled following that effort and she delivered a creditable fourth-place finish when racing on a Soft 6  over 1200m first-up this prep.

Ross McConville’s representative contested a Class 1 handicap that day, however, she failed to shine in a similar event over 1300m at Kembla Grange subsequently.

It’s worth forgiving that below par effort, which saw the mare beaten just under nine lengths.

The five-year-old has placed at this venue in the past and with barrier eight unlikely to provide any issue, she may prove up to delivering a surprise victory.

Clarendon Tavern Midway Benchmark 64 Handicap Tips (Race 7)


Hawkesbury Best Bet - Race 7 No. 2 This Is The Moment

The six-year-old has been in good form without winning in three outings since refusing to start at Kembla Grange in early May.

This Is The Moment went on to be beaten just over two lengths when contesting a 1500m Benchmark 64 handicap back at Kembla Grange later that month.

The gelding raced at Benchmark 64 level on a soft surface that day and he went on to lose out by a length in a Benchmark 68 handicap at the same venue next time.

That Benchmark 68 handicap saw the gelding race over 1600m and he arrives here on the back of a narrow defeat in a 1660m Benchmark 82 handicap at Moruya.

He raced on a Soft 5 surface when coming close to overcoming a slow start at Moruya and Mitch Stapleford’s two kilogram claim is a positive here. 

The gelding hails from an in-form stable and he looks up to delivering a victory from barrier ten.
