Brenton Avdulla has a good strike rate at Hawkesbury Picture: Racing and Sports
ZEROING IN

We go about finding a weekend special from a statistical angle.

Hawkesbury Race 7 - 3 Rekindled Power

Progressive colt from the Paul Messara who returned in great order, when finishing second behind Delectation in the Arrowfield 3YO Sprint. Hit the line gamely on that occasion and is expected to improve further stepping up in trip.

In what will be just his sixth career start, he possesses plenty of scope for improvement and rates highly following his last start performance. He is unbeaten at his only prior attempt at 1400m and should have no real concerns with the wet track.

He shapes as the best galloper engaged in that event and should prove very hard to beat.

Key Trends

  • In-form jockey Brenton Avdulla links aboard for the first time and this season is striking at just shy of 20% at Hawkesbury.
  • Although they don't have many gallopers in work this season, the Messara stable boasts a strike rate of 18% and overall strikes at 18% with gallopers racing second up.
  • This season the Messara camp is striking at 24% with 3YOs and has run at a marginal POT.
