NSW provincial racing returns to Hawkesbury Race Club on Thursday afternoon, with a competitive eight-race program set for decision. The rail is out +2m between the 1100m to 450m markers, while the remainder is in the true position. The track is currently rated a Soft 7 at the time of acceptance, but with clear skies and warm weather forecast in the lead-up, participants should be racing on Good ground for the opening event at 12:30pm local time.
Best Bet at Hawkesbury: House Of Cards
House Of Cards returns after a 199-day spell and has been trialing exceptionally well heading into this first-up assignment. The son of Exceed And Excel put them away with ease at Randwick on July 19, careering away to score by a length as Tommy Berry had the four-year-old under a stranglehold the entire 840m journey. His form from last preparation reads terrific for this BM64 contest, and with barrier three allowing Berry to lob into the perfect stalking position, watch for House Of Cards to surge over the top to secure his second career victory.

Next Best at Hawkesbury: Visual
Visual appears to have an element of class debuting for the James Cummings barn, hitting the line well to score by 1.4 lengths in a recent jump-out at Warwick Farm on July 15. She’s the first foal out of Godolphin’s three-time Group 1 winning mare Alizee, and she showed similar raw ability in her work, stalking her rivals before pouncing in the final furlong. Expect her to be ridden quietly throughout the 1000m journey by Kerrin McEvoy, but provided she gets clear running late, Visual should be exploding down the centre of the course.

Next Best Again at Hawkesbury: Literature Tycoon
Literature Tycoon looks primed for a first-up assault after two impressive barrier trials at Newcastle. Her most recent piece of work came on the course proper, with the daughter of Written Tycoon striding through the line under her own steam to get within 2.8 lengths of Spywire. Tyler Schiller takes the reins from stall five, and provided he can slot her in for cover throughout the 1300m trip, Literature Tycoon should be right there when the whips are cracking.
