Hawkesbury Racing Tips: Wednesday, February 12th 2025
Race 2: Pioneer Services Super Mdn Hcp – 1100m - 2:55pm (AEDT)
(2) Matera $4.20: 3YO Colt debuting with six trials under his belt with only one placing. He has had some nice early support which suggests the stable are bullish and he could surprise here on debut. Watch the market.
(6) Insain $2.80: 3YO Gelding who won his trial by 8L and then when debuted started at $2.60, but failed to fire finishing 5th. Improved second up over 1200m. Drops to 1100m and will be ready to fire third up with the fitness edge and with two proper races under his belt. Bjorn BAKER is flying and this gelding must be considered.
(8) Twinkling Star $4.80: 3YO Filly who has been well held in both career runs. She was supported in the market last start, so it suggests she has ability. Second up now and back to an easier affair, so expect a better effort.
(6) Insain
$2.80 (3 Units)
Race 5: Richmond Club BM64 - 1400m - 4:40pm (AEDT)
(1) Nomorenightshift $3.00: 3YO Gelding who boasts a pretty tidy record with 4 wins from the 5 outings. He is well rated again here and is unbeaten on the weather affected tracks. Hard fit and with the 2kg claim and low draw he will be hard to beat.
(2) Fortingall $4.60: 3YO Gelding who did it tough first up, but gets a better draw today and is expected to try and lead which is where he will do his best work. Proven at this trip and on the soft. Hyeronimus for Waterhouse is also a nice combo. Goes well.
(5) Zarizatycoon $4.00: 5YO who is lightly raced and is a 3 time winner from 5 attempts. Proven over this trip and on the soft aswell. Draws well and will be fitter for this third up run. Early drift in the market is the only concern.
(1) Nomorenightshift
$3.00 (2 Units)
Race 7: Good Luck Kyle Cassim BM64 - 1100m – 5:50pm (AEDT)
(3) Money Team $2.50: 4YO Gelding who was a bridesmaid all last prep finishing in the minors, but showed ability. Returned this time round with a nice win to break maiden. Now that he is no longer a maiden he looks ready to go on with it. Gets in light with the 1.5kg claim and draws a nice gate. Must be considered again.
(6) Sneaky Sofia $5.50: 3YO Filly who won nicely when resuming and then was well held in much tougher grade on Saturday. Back to an easier affair and claims 1.5kg which puts her in nicely. Hard fit and goes well on the soft track. Nice gate and looks the one to beat.
(2) Annies Rose $4.50: 4YO Mare who comes across from SA and is a handy fresh type with both career wins coming from a first up run, including one on the soft. Danger.
(6) Sneaky Sofia
$5.50 (1 Unit)
