The $200,000 Rowley Mile (1600m) headlines the action at Hawkesbury on Thursday afternoon, with a bumper eight-part program set for decision. The rail is in the true position for the entire circuit, and with nothing but sunny skies forecast in the lead-up, punters can anticipate a genuine Good 4 surface. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 12:45pm local time.
Rowley Mile Tip: Raf Attack
Raf Attack got a pass mark first-up at Rosehill on August 3 when closing on the heels of Contemporary and Much Much Better. The son of Satono Aladdin was only building the revs late in the piece, suggesting a step up to the mile next time would be ideal. Regan Bayliss has the option to change tactics and take up the running from barrier four this time, and provided he can tick over a soft sectional or two in the middle stages, Raf Attack should prove hard to chase down.

Best Bet at Hawkesbury: Homecoming
Homecoming was doing her best work late at Newcastle on August 3, managing to finish runner-up despite enduring a chequered passage. The James Cummings-trained filly draws barrier one this time, which should allow Zac Lloyd to take up a stalking position in behind the leaders. Provided he can manoeuvre into the clear when the whips are cracking, Homecoming should make amends second-up.

Next Best at Hawkesbury: Mother Goose
Mother Goose caught the eye in a recent barrier trial at this course on August 5. The daughter of Lonhro oozed class as she went through the wire under her own steam, suggesting she had plenty more to give despite finishing 3.8 lengths away in third. Barrier 12 makes this a tricky assignment for Zac Lloyd, but provided he can drag back in search of cover, watch for Mother Goose to be flying down the centre of the course on debut.
