Hawkesbury Horse Racing Tips Thu 2/7/26

Soft 7 at Hawkesbury with the rail out to +4m from the 1100m, and dry overhead, so it should be improving through the day rather than easing. Chris Waller’s Saloon Passage caught the eye in race 4, the day’s richest at $60,000, firming from $5.50 into $3.90. Matthew Smith looks to have the yard ticking over too: Cosmic Order won last start and lines up in race 5, while Honey Perfume did the same and is one to keep an eye on in race 8 at $5.50. Matchsticks is another we’re looking at, well found in race 7 over the mile at $13 from $23 out, on a card with real range from the 1000m through to the mile and big fields right through. Selections drop here around 10am race morning once the markets firm.
