Shortest win price
Paltrow Miss (11)
4.80
The Evergreen Turf Ladies Day Cup at Hawkesbury on Saturday offers a fascinating puzzle at 1500 metres over Good 4 going. Paltrow Miss heads the market after a 22-week break, resuming with two trials and an unbeaten first-up record from two starts. Osipenko and Cristal Clear follow, with Hyperbolic and Sandpaper completing the early fancies. The race shapes as a solid staying test for a competitive Listed field, kicking off at 5:15 pm AEDT.
Paltrow Miss has genuine credentials despite the layoff, having raced in elite fillies company last campaign and trialling twice to prepare for this return. However, her current jockey engagement and rider form deserve scrutiny — Louise Day's recent strike rate sits 55 per cent below career average, which tempers the favouritism slightly. Osipenko, trained by Chris Waller in strong form, travelled like a genuine contender second-up at Randwick over 1600 metres and closed intently, though a rider change to Lee Magorrian today is worth noting. Cristal Clear's barrier trial at Warwick Farm was encouraging after a long absence, and the form guide suggests sharp improvement second-up is likely with the benefit of fitness.
Speed-wise, a leading group of four runners — Sandpaper, Filthy Habits, Mighty Ulysses and Paltrow Miss — should dominate early, with Robusto and Cristal Clear poised on-pace. Hyperbolic offers genuine value at odds, having trialled smartly at Hawkesbury and possessed strong earlier-prep form in Brisbane. The gelding shapes as a genuine second-up improver, and while Brad Widdup's recent runners underperform, Hyperbolic's placement and jockey Heavelon Van Der Hoven's strong ROI suggest a genuine case for punters seeking a roughie with serious form credentials.

Handy but gave away tamely at Randwick when second-up. Fitter. Winner of $2.5 million and can find a few lengths here.
ILB
Started $7.00 and didn't attack the line when 10th last time at Randwick. Happy to overlook that run. Should go close.

Last of ten over 1m at Randwick (handicap) last month; in with a shout despite being up in class and he has run with credit on a number of occasions.

Started at 6/1 and struggled with the pace when 10th last start at Randwick. Can make a comeback. Very capable of taking this out.

Now 4 weeks between runs. Close-up in the Theo Marks at Rosehill 12 Sep. On pace but folded up quickly in latest Grp 3 at Rosehill. Much better gate here and blinkers back on. Respecting.
ILB
Folded up in the straight when 13th last run at Rosehill but facing weaker opposition. Should be going forward early. Drawn the rails. Going up in weight. Expect a forward showing.
RP
Achieved plenty of success against this sort of company but hasn't really fired since his success in a Listed handicap at Randwick in January; towards the rear of 15 at Rosehill last month in a Group 3; now drops in class but makes little appeal.
RSIS
Faded away to finish 13th last time at Rosehill but up against a less competitive field. Won't be far away during the run. Gets the perfect stall. Rising in weight. Should be in the finish.

Quality galloper but hasn't won for a year. Close-up at Rosehill 10 Oct. Went back, closed intently at Randwick when second-up. Getting close.

Odds of $12.00 and made up ground when 4th last start at Randwick and will try to take advantage of the draw. Possesses very good closing speed. Good potential.
RP
Respectable effort in a handicap at Randwick last month (had two of these rivals behind); a good record at this level; this represents a step up in class so others more likely.
RSIS
Started 11/1 and advanced late into 4th last time at Randwick and can find a nice position from the draw. Has good closing pace. Very tidy performer.

Has won at this track; not far behind Depth Of Character when ninth in a conditions race at Randwick two weeks ago; more on his plate this time but should be thereabouts.

Weakened under pressure when 9th last time at Randwick but suited at this distance historically. Has shown early pace in races to date. Could feature here.

Back from a break of 44 weeks. Overrun late when 2nd beaten by almost 3L last start at Ascot but back to a shorter distance. Hard to recommend with any confidence.
RP
Proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a tenth career win) but wins have come at a lower level; second of 15 in the Perth Cup at Ascot on New Year's Day; first run for stable; returns from an absence here; dropping in class but looks risky.
