| What | Hawkesbury Races |
| Where | Hawkesbury Race Club – 1 Racecourse Rd, Clarendon NSW 2756 |
| When | Thursday, March 28, 2024 |
| First Race | 1:15pm AEDT |
Provincial racing returns to Hawkesbury on Thursday afternoon for a competitive eight-race program from 1:15pm local time. There are some showers predicted on the radar, so punters should expect a surface rated somewhere in the Soft range for race-day. The rail moves out +2m between 1100m-450m and sits true for the remainder.
Best Bet at Hawkesbury: Soobooco
Soobooco was tested against some genuine Group 1 quality when running into the likes of Royal Merchant and Semana in the Magic Millions Wyong 3YO & 4YO Stakes (1200m) on December 13, and he was far from disgraced when careering into a fourth-place finish. This BM64 is a more manageable task for the son of Sooboog as he returns from a 13-week spell. Although Jason Collett will need to navigate stall 13, leave it in his capable hands to steer Soobooco to victory.
Best Bet
Race 6 – 
#6 Soobooco (13)
4yo Gelding | T: Mark Minervini | J: Jason Collett (58.5kg)
Next Best at Hawkesbury: Floodgates
The Matthew Smith-trained Floodgates has had four jump-outs since December to get ready for her debut in this 1100m maiden, with the team giving the three-year-old plenty of experience before heading to race-day conditions. Mitchell Bell will be legged aboard from gate five on Thursday, and provided he can get her to ping across to the front, Floodgates may prove hard to reel in.
Next Best
Race 2 – 
#5 Floodgates (5)
3yo Filly | T: Matthew Smith | J: Mitchell Bell (58.5kg)
Next Best Again at Hawkesbury: Je Reve
Je Reve has been placed in two of his three career starts and should be ready to peak in this event. The gelding by Capitalist has shown good early speed in all his starts to date, and he should get every chance to cross to the front once again. With fitness on his side as Zac Waddick hops in the saddle, watch for Je Reve to make every post a winner in the third race of the afternoon.
Next Best Again
Race 3 – 
#1 Je Reve (8)
3yo Gelding | T: Gerald Ryan & Sterling Alexiou | J: Zac Wadick (a2kg) (60.5kg)
