Hawkesbury Race Club is the destination for NSW racing on Thursday afternoon, with a competitive eight-race program set to kick off at 12:40pm local time. The rail is out +4m between the 1100m and 450m marks, while it sits in the true position for the remainder. The surface was rated a Soft 5 at the time of acceptances, but with heavy rain forecast in the lead-up, punters should be wary of a downgrade.
Best Bet: Bojangles
Bojangles was no match for the likes of Royal Tribute and Infatuation in the Listed Gosford Guineas (1200m) on December 28. He was subsequently tipped out and now resumes after 110 days in this BM66 contest, which should prove far more achievable for the son of Showtime. He should get a soft run in transit under Tommy Berry from stall three, and once asked for the ultimate effort, Bojangles will bolt clear with the prize.

Next Best: Summer Soiree
Summer Soiree appears set to peak fourth-up after an impressive runner-up performance at Newcastle on April 3. The three-year-old filly got every chance when peeling off the leader’s back but was unable to reel in Inquisitive Legend, although she maintained a 2.5-length margin on her remaining rivals. Expect Alysha Collett to take luck out of the equation this time as Summer Soiree makes every post a winner.

Best Value: Got An Inspiration
Got An Inspiration produced some strong closing sectionals at Newcastle on April 3, suggesting he can turn the tables on some key rivals. He chased on the three-wide line before being crowded for room with 400m left, maintaining a strong gallop despite the circumstances. Grant Buckley will have no choice but to drag back from barrier nine; however, Got An Inspiration will be doing his best work late, so watch for him to swallow up his rivals.
Best Value

#8 Got An Inspiration (9)
