Hawkesbury Race 3

Blakes Marine Super Mdn Plate

Stake: $66,000

SHALAA GOLD (8) classy gelding expected to get off the mark today at start four. Strong return when sitting on the good tempo for a fighting second over 1100m at Wyong on October 31. Strips fitter now and should prove too slick for these from the low draw. HOUDINI SPIRIT (4) Harry Angel gelding resuming after racing in stronger company last time in. Fitted with the one soft trial and the cross-over nose band goes on for this. Genuine top three contender. BLUE ILLUSION (2) showed good early dash from the sticky draw on resumption when a tiring second over 1000m at Kembla Grange on November 5. Further improved and look for him doing his best work late. BLANC DE NOIR (11) is a Capitalist filly out of a War Pass mare on debut for the Michael Freedman stable. Had the four trials in readiness for this and expected to be well-educated. Can play a leading role.

Three-year-old gelding (Capitalist - Arrowette) has trialled on three occasions leading into today's race. Fourth over 1050m in a Beaudesert trial on October 21. Unlikely to find enough improvement to trouble these.

Second run back. First-up after five months rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 10 at Wyong Super Mdn-Sw on October 31 over 1100m, 1.1 len behind Fiorenza with 56.5kg at $2.50. Previously second-up 2nd of 10 at Warwick Farm Super 2yo Mdn on May 22 over 1100m, slow going 1.4 len behind Private Life with 58kg at $2.50. Looks too good for these.
