Hawkesbury Race 3 - Absolut & Sprite Rtds Mdn Hcp
Solid contest with some good types resuming or making their debut. POISONOUS (3) resumes from a lengthy break after fading quickly on debut with a poor last over 1100m at Randwick Kensington last June. Strengthened over the break and returns with the two slick trial wins. Hard to stop from the inside draw. DEFIANCE (9) gelded over the break after he had mixed success in three runs in his first prep. Won both trials in good style and shapes as a solid top-three chance. KING STRAAND (2) I Am Invincible gelding out of Diademe on debut for the Ed Cummings yard. Wasn't pushed out in his last two trials and expected to overcome the sticky draw. Lugging-bit and tongue-tie go on. Keep safe. LAST APACHE (8) returns for his second campaign. Well placed on debut but struggled to close off with a fading sixth over 1200m at Gosford last November. Wasn't fully tested in two recent trials and the blinkers go on. Keep safe.

First starter. Four-year-old gelding by I Am Invincible out of Diademe. At the most recent trial finished fifth at Rosehill over 1030m. Can sprint well fresh despite drawing out.

Gelding by Fastnet Rock facing the starter for the first time. Finished fourth in a Warwick Farm trial over 786m on March 20. Two trials had merit and worth thought.

Blake Ryan trained three-year-old gelding lining up for first race start. Winner of his most recent trial. Prefer to see how he performs under race conditions.

Resumes from a spell after only one run when tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 8 at Gosford Mdn-Sw on November 11 over 1200m, 5.5 len behind Just Response with 59kg at $10. Anticipating him to hit the ground running this campaign with the blinkers going on.

Dual acceptor. First starter. Two-year-old colt by Trapeze Artist out of Alexandra Dreaming. At the most recent trial finished seventh at Randwick over 1050m. Prefer to see against some of these.
