Daily Racing Tips – Rowley Mile Day Special

Sneaky Sofia handled 1100m quite nicely when placed over the same trip at Wellington earlier in April.

The daughter of Merchant Navy resumed to win comfortably at Newcastle a fortnight ago over 900m, storming into the clear after settling on the speed in the early stages.

She’s in well at the weights carrying just 55kg again and only needs a touch of luck to go her way from wider out.

Highborn Harry is coming back to compete at country level after tackling a Midway at Rosehill last month.

He was far from disgraced that day landing midfield, a decent effort considering he was competing off a 12-week break with no trial leading in.

This is a sharp step up in trip from 1300m, but he did handle a similar rise nicely when winning a Class 1 at Gosford earlier in the autumn.

Williamsburg has clearly gone to another level since being gelded.

The son of Snitzel won like a good thing fresh at Rosehill a couple of weeks ago, overcoming the wide gate to land on the speed and control the race throughout.

This is his first look at Hawkesbury, but as a Group 1 place getter, there’s no question he’s up to handling this level from a much better gate.

Audrey’s Lane returns to her home track looking to build on an impressive maiden campaign that saw her win here second-up.

The Pierro mare closed out her prep at Kensington where she was second-last to greet the judge, but she did have excuses that day up in grade from a very awkward alley.

Her recent trial here was a strong piece of work and she gets in nicely carrying 2kg less with the claim. Proven in all conditions and likely to get a gun ride from a perfect gate, she rates highly.
