Athiri (Hawkesbury Race 5 No. 5)
This four year old Lonhro mare trained by James Cummings has five wins and seven places from 19 starts. She burst between runners at the 200m and drew away for a 2.25 length win on the Listed Nudgee Quality over 1200m at Eagle Farm on 2 January, then hit the front at the 150m but was grabbed late for a close 2nd in the $1M Magic Millions fillies and mares Gold Coast race over 1300m on 16 January. She resumes here after 15 weeks and has a recent Hawkesbury trial win. Looks the superior mare in this fillies and mares race and should win
