Imposing Beau was a $150k purchase from the 2018 Melbourne Premier Inglis Sale and is making his debut for the Hawkes team.
The son of Brazen Beau comes into his first race off the back of an impressive trial win at Rosehill by over three lengths and the early support in betting suggests he is ready to go first up.
Captivare is yet to break through for his maiden race win from eight trips to the races but he has raced consistently throughout his short career.
He has been placed in all three runs this prep so far including a narrow defeat last time out at Kembla Grange and the extra 200m will suits in this event.
It was hard not to be really impressed when Good Omens broke through for her maiden win when resuming from a spell at Kembla Grange.
She started the short priced favourite that afternoon but she rocketed clear of her rivals to score by over three lengths, going through the line full of running.
I like the fact that she has had a trial in between runs to get her ready to the step up in distance and she is the one to beat in a race where there are no other last start winners.
Astero has been placed in three of his four career starts which includes a maiden win by over two lengths at Canberra last October.
The three year old has had two trial leading into this first up assignment and I must admit he has my favourite gear changes that I love to see in horse resuming.
He has been gelding and the winkers go on.
He will be a much more focused horse!
