Hawkesbury Race 2

The Lawn Shed (Bm64)

Prize Money: $60,000

INSIST (3) returned from a four-month spell with a gritty win last start over 900m at Newcastle, just holding on after finding the front halfway down the running. Hasn't followed up second-up in the past but he is more furnished now and should go on with it. USEAPIN (1) closed powerfully but just ran out of ground last time out over 1150m at the Kensington track. Carries the same weight today after the claim in a much easier race. In-form filly who is the clear threat. COUPLES RETREAT (8) is back from a 166-day spell. Consistent performer last prep including a comfortable maiden win here over 1000m. Recent Warwick Farm trial winner who looks set for a positive return. IOWNA BENZ (5) resumes after a five-month lay-off. Opened the maiden prep with a couple of wins before failing at her only other run. Should return bigger and better this time in work. NOW IS THE HOUR (7) has been about the mark all prep and with McDonald up today is certainly in the mix.

Second-up. First-up after four months favourite; won by a nose at Newcastle Bm64 March 20 over 900m defeating Ride The River carrying 58kg at $3.10. Previously second-up ran last of 7 at Warwick Farm Grad Bm68 on October 7 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Zoubaby carrying 57kg at $17. No reason he cannot get the job done again.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign fifth of 8 at Kembla Grange Bm64 November 5 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Zaragoza carrying 55kg at $2.90. At her first start favourite; won by 2.5 len Newcastle Mdn October 5 over 900m defeating Murphilly with 53.5kg at $3.80. Has plenty of potential and should play a big role.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign to post a big 3.5 len win. Gundagai Super Mdn November 15 over 1180m defeating Mo Cent carrying 56kg at $1.50. Previously first up; second of 14 at Port Macquarie Super Mdn-Sw October 11 over 1200m, 0.9 len behind Viale carrying 55kg at $6. Can play a role without surprising.
