Horse racing tips: Best bets for Hawkesbury with Shayne O’Cass

Daily Telegraph form analyst Shayne O'Cass gives his best bets and runs the rule over every race for Hawkesbury.

Leaving Reeling is an above-average Dundeel mare.

Blue Cansata didn't run as badly as it looked on paper last start.

Jenny's Questueira is a filly of a USA stakes-winning mare.

James McDonald is now $1.33 to win the 2022/23 Premiership. He might not be much better than that to take part in Tuesday's Jockeys Challenge.

IRON HAT is a well built gelding. He has had a tidy C.V. already.

Prince Akeem is a Todd Howlett-trained galloper. Prince Akeeman has to handle heavy 10-runner field.

Cristalino is the daughter of Tarzino from Kris Lees yard. She has placed six times from 10 starts.

Blue Canasta is a John Sargent-trained colt by Smart Missile. Inuwashi is an Orbis runner from the Chris Waller stable. Tracey Bartley- trained galloper Dresden bumped into an obviously Frankel son last start at Wyong.

Left Reeling is trained by John Sargent and is one of the shortest priced favourites on the day. Santorini Sun was scratched from a heavy track at Goulburn yesterday to run on an infinitely better surface here. Waterhouse/Bott entrant Avoidance will be prominent for a long way.

Junqueira is a Capitalist filly out of an American stakes-winning mare Bibby. She was bought for $80,000 at the Magic Millions Yearling Sale in 2020. John O'Shea-trained three-year-old has looked good in her recent trials at home at Randwick. Diamond Flare, formerly known as Dickson Horse, is the son of Deep field and has trialled six times since his debut in May 2021. Sir Ming, the grandson of Alinghi, has J Mac on and arrives off some crackerjack trials.

Selfie Time is a daughter of Savabeel out of an O'Reilly mare bred at Waikato Stud in New Zealand. She is coming off an easy win at Kembla and can take the next step. Mihocek has finished runner-up in his only two prior visits to this venue including at his most recent start. Upper House is an old campaigner for Norm Gardner who has won 10 times in 58 starts.

Sovereign Express is in a race in the colours of his esteemed relative Sons Of John. Turnaround Time is also in sparkling form at present. Dash DashDash is still a maiden but appears closer than ever to a well-earned breakthrough.

Communist is a son of the recently crowned Champion First Season Sire, Russian Revolution. Roma Avenue is from the Mark Newnham stable. Wealthofknowledge is another one that has barely put a foot wrong. Tycoon Tiara’s daughter, Zemininka, is the best bet for Hawkesbury.

Toto has been plagued by wet tracks this preparation but has raced well at times. Todd Howlett-trained son of Manhattan Rain gets the surface to suit here. Comonic is a talented and lightly-raced ‘nephew’ of a past Hawkesbury Guineas winner in Shazee Lee. Ceasefire has a big weight but it's not worth claiming when you get James McDonald.
