Hawkesbury Race 3

Matt Jones 50Th Birthday Memorial Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $42,000

ONE STEP CLOSER (6) has the ideal pay to follow profile this time in after two learner efforts back in the Autumn and two quiet trials into this. Will be rocketing home. FALCON LAIR (5) impressed on debut making good ground late against the day's trend. At a similar trip with two kilos less has the talent to go blue ribbon here. COBRA CLUB (4) was disappointing first up after showing talent in deep races prior to that. Trialled well since and blinkers go back on. On pace type well placed to turn it around. SENJUTSU (9) flopped on a heavy track on debut after trialling sweetly. Well worth another look on a firmer track.

Resuming after a break of seven months. Finished off last preparation when last in a small field at Canberra Mdn February 7 over 1400m, soft track; 7 len behind Perfect Justice with 53kg at $61. Previously first up; eighth of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw October 17 over 1100m, 6 len behind Luxe Eternal carrying 54.5kg at $101. Might be better off following this run.
