Hawkesbury Race 1 - Merry Christmas Hcp (C1)
Good little contest to start the day. I AM CARROT (3) bounced off his good first-up second, with a commanding on-pace victory over 1350m at Wyong. Held in high regard by the stable and can go on with it here from the low draw. PENTAGON (2) El Roca gelding who made his Australian debut with a slick on-speed performance when saluting from the wide gate over 1300m at this track. Shapes as the main danger from the good gate and can go on with it this time in. SO LONG FAREWELL (1) was unwanted in betting on resumption before surging late with the 60kg for a narrow second over 1300m at Wyong. Proven second-up and he gets a better set-up today. Sure to be thereabouts. FAST TRACK (4) indicated a win was imminent when he gripped on late to secure second over 1350m at Wyong. Looking for this trip and further now and stays in the mix. ROMAN FORUM (5) finds an easier contest fourth-up and gives the impression she will appreciate this trip.

Dual acceptor. Comes off a 29 day let-up. At the latest run second last of 9 at Kembla Grange F&M Cl1 on November 15 over 1200m, 10 len behind Show Business carrying 55kg at $101. The run before that raced on speed throughout when 3rd of 10 at Nowra Mdn on November 2 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2.25 len behind Ellismayne carrying 53.5kg at $101. Finds a few better today. Hard to have in this line-up.
