Verdict

Strong race. VIVA MACACO (5) sat on the fast tempo on debut with 58 kg for a courageous second over 5f at Hawkesbury. Has further upside and will prove hard to run down today. ANDARNA (7) Farnan filly resuming from a lengthy break. Kept safe in betting on debut with a disappointing sixth over 5f at this track. Has impressed in her two latest trials and worth noting Tommy Berry retains the ride. Each-way. BASCILICA BABE (8) returns from a spell of five months and is having her first run for a new yard. Started favourite on debut when no match for Golden Slipper placegetter Music Time, running fourth over 5f at Canberra last February. Back with the two trials and looks set for a good preparation. UNION (4) well-bred Snitzel gelding returning for his second campaign. Showed plenty of early toe on debut when fifth to Music Time over 5f at Canberra last February. Fitted with the two trials and finds a winnable contest. The chances don't end there.
