AU - Hawkesbury - Race 1

HY (1) showed good natural pace and dug deep in the closing stages to finish second in an impressive debut over 5f here last start. Looks perfectly placed over the slightly longer trip at this stage. Big chance to go one better. VIVA MACACO (9) also debuted over 5f at this track recently and was beaten narrowly after being in the firing line all the way. Should enjoy a similar run today and looks the obvious threat. IAMBUBB (7) started at cricket score odds and gave a tremendous sight last time out over 5f here, only gunned down in the final stages. Starting to click and might prove hard to catch again today. FAWLTY AFFAIRS (6) returns after a 16-week spell. Best of three runs in the maiden campaign was a second on debut over 5f at Muswellbrook. Should be ready for a bold return. Bjorn Baker's first starter STRONGHOLD (8) won a recent Rosehill trial and looks a ready to run type.
