Race-by-race preview and tips for Hawkesbury on Thursday

2. Donatello is a former New Zealander that has had two starts since arriving in Australia for a fourth on the Kensington track and a latest fifth at Randwick behind Agent Zero. He was beaten less than a length in that event and sticks at the same distance in this. He looks set to break through with a win. 3. Scoop The Pool has a solid record with five placings from nine starts and hit the line well when a last-start second at Newcastle. This looks well within his reach. 6. Aurora Effect ran well enough when a last-start third at this track and only needs to run up to that to figure in the placings again. 1. Master Of War has been placed in four of eight starts and has minor money claims.

4. Mind Ya Bizz was placed in her first two starts at Gosford and this track before finishing fourth in two subsequent runs at Gosford and Canterbury. She resumes from a spell in this on the back of two trials and looks well suited to break her maiden. 6. Rising Revolution was placed on debut at this track last September and has had a trial in preparation for this return to racing. 7.

Yes Arnie has a couple of recent placings to his name and is far from the worst.

1. Abandonment is a former Kiwi that had a win and two placings back in New Zealand. He resumes here for a new stable on the back of two trials and looks set to run well over this trip first-up from the good gate. 2. Call Me Mojo resumed from a long spell with a Canberra win and followed that up with a sixth at Illawarra Grange. 6. Obsidian Dream led to score a last-start win at this track and can be thereabouts again. 5. Hammoon Heroine has only missed a place once from six starts.

3. Majestic Legend is resuming from a spell after having two recent trials. She’s been placed in two of six starts and has the talent to give this a shake. 4. Monocru has been in the minor placings in two of four starts and bears close watching. 5. Radicals is on debut and has had a number of trials to be pre
