Provincial racing in NSW heads to Hawkesbury on Tuesday afternoon, with a competitive eight-part program set for decision. The rail is out +5m between the 1100m to 450m markers, while the remainder is in the true position. The track is rated a Soft 7 at the time of acceptances, but with pristine conditions forecast in the lead-up, punters should expect an upgrade to the Good range prior to the opening event at 12:10pm local time.

Best Bet at Hawkesbury: Stray

Stray put in a bold performance at Randwick on May 25 and should appreciate dropping back into Class 1 company. The daughter of Thunder Fantasy found a tough assignment first-up behind Bakeroo at BM72 grade, hitting the line well despite what the 6.5-length margin may suggest. She looks primed to strike second-up at the mile, and with barrier one allowing Jason Collett to take closer order, watch for Stray to be powering over the top to secure her second-career victory.

Next Best at Hawkesbury: Monty Be Quick

Monty Be Quick debuts for the Nathan Doyle barn after a 271-day spell and looks to have acclimatised well to Australian conditions. The four-year-old European import was winless across his five starts in the UK but has shown glimpses of class at the barrier trials leading into this first-up target, cruising through the wire to score at Gosford on May 27. This maiden contest lacks depth, and with Jean Van Overmeire likely to slot into an ideal stalking position, Monty Be Quick should get every chance to shirk the maiden tag.
