Hawkesbury Race 1 - Independent Liquor Group Raceday Plate (C1)
WITHOUT PEER (4) placed in Group 3 company last prep and returned with an encouraging fifth over 1400m at Warwick Farm in BM78 grade. Well placed for this and can get the job done over this trip. UNAVOIDABLE (3) import who returns from a 23-month spell and is now in the Matt Smith yard. Scored a tough debut win over 2011m at Navan (Ireland) on April 27, 2024. Primed for this with the two 1200m trials and market moves should be closely monitored. EMERALD HILLS (5) improved sharply when up to the mile at her second race start with a determined maiden victory at Newcastle. Heading in the right direction and not without top-three claims. WORMINGTON (8) total forgive at latest when he pulled up with heat stress after finishing a poor ninth over 1600m at Warwick Farm. Placed at Wyong two-back and can return to form quickly.
