HAWKESBURY CUP DAY 4 MAY SUPER F&M MAIDEN HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 4m 1100m-450m. True Remainder. (Pent: 5.6).  

Expecting Saxon Draum to lead Bianco Nero at just a moderate tempo. SUMMER SOIREE (1) improving with each run in first prep and has her hoof on the till after sitting on the pace when a close-up third over 1250m at Newcastle on April 5. Backs-up quickly and should prove too strong for these. OUTCAST GIRL (7) handy filly resuming after bumping into some smart types last time in. Came to the end of her prep when sixth over 1600m at Kembla Grange on November 18. Since fitted with a recent trial and expected to have top-three claims. BIANCO NERO (6) in need of the run when resumed from a six-month spell when a plugging sixth over 1250m at Newcastle on April 3. Fitter now and the extra trip suits. Maps to get the right run. NEGRONIS (5) resumes after a six-month break. Failed to fire in two runs last time in and is expected to have developed further over the break. Had two trials in readiness for this and must be kept safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Summer Soiree to win.
