GOING: G(4)

HAWKESBURY CUP DAY 4 MAY SUPER MAIDEN PLATE 1500m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 2m 1100m-450m. True Remainder. (Pent: 5.12).  

Expecting Taipan Legend to lead Rip Off at just a moderate tempo. JAWHARAT DUBAI (7) progressive filly who found the line nicely at second run back when an eye-catching third over 1400m at Randwick Kensington on March 13. This is much easier and should prove too strong for these. RIP OFF (8) at her top for this and worth another chance after having no luck from the wide gate when ninth over 1400m at Randwick Kensington. Maps to get the right run from the gate and expected to figure prominently. WIZARDS (5) was far from disgraced on debut when sixth over 1300m at this track on March 9. Strips fitter now and look for him late. TAIPAN LEGEND (4) returned for second prep with a wilting eighth over 1400m at Randwick Kensington on March 13. Expecting a form reversal today from the good draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jawharat Dubai to win.
