The nine race program includes four stakes races with the best bet through them coming in the Listed Hawkesbury Gold Rush (1100m).

Tango Rain resumes in the event after a strong campaign in the first half of the season.

The son of Manhattan Rain won early in his prep over this distance at Rosehill before racing well against stronger company.

Connections elected to geld Tango Rain during the four-year-old’s latest spell and based on the strength of a trial win over 4 1⁄2 f at Rosehill on April 6, the decision could be the making of him as a racehorse.

From barrier Kerrin McEvoy should work across and settle outside the anticipated early leader in Princefamous.

Tango Rain should take some beating first up and provides a one out option in the first leg of the early quaddie.

One of the Group features on Saturday is the Hawkesbury Gold Cup (1600m) where Mister Sea Wolf is expected to thrive dropping sharply in grade.

Mister Sea Wolf kicked off his prep with placings in the Newcastle Newmarket Handicap (1400m) and the Group 3 Doncaster Prelude (1500m).

He was then thrown in the deep end contesting the Group 1 Doncaster Mile.

Jumping from an outside barrier, Mister Sea Wolf was send back to last and was never a factor, failing to beat a runner home.

Chris Waller has found a far more suitable race for Mister Sea Wolf three weeks later, a race where only half of the field sit inside of the handicap.

Outside of his flop in the Doncaster Mile, the UK import has been a model of consistency since arriving in Australia, performing well in each of his four starts before the prestigious Group 1 mile event.

The son of Amadeus Wolf appears well placed to chalk up his first Australian win on Saturday and appeals at the current each way quote of $6.00.
