Hawkesbury, Race 1, 1.15pm AEDT, Racing Mates ‘Lets Talk’ 4YO&UP Maiden Handicap, $42,000, 1300m
Bohemian Art, 4-year-old mare (Deep Field x Your Life Style {Hussonet {USA}})
The Nathan Doyle-trained Bohemian Art (Deep Field) will run at Hawkesbury on Tuesday over 1300 metres. She ran three good races in her first preparation earlier in the year, including a good second first-up last campaign at Newcastle.
She has had two trials at Newcastle to prepare herself for her resuming run. The well-bred mare is the eighth foal from the Hussonet (USA) mare Your Life Style, who was unraced on the track, but her pedigree is top-classw as illustrated by being a $1.2 million purchase by Newgate Farm at the 2014 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale.

She has left three winners including the eight-time winner Cafe Royal (Snitzel), who was an eight-time winner and was also placed in the Listed Silk Stocking Handicap.
Your Life Style is three-quarter-sister to the dam of three-time Group 1 winner Shoals (Fastnet Rock) and the Listed winning gelding Groundswell (Fastnet Rock). She is also a half-sister to Precious Lorraine (Encosta De Lago), who was successful in the G3 South Australia Fillies Classic and the Listed winner Lucky Raquie (Encosta De Lago).
Your Life Style, since producing Bohemian Art, has left a 2-year-old colt by Capitalist and a yearling colt by Russian Revolution.

Casserousse, 3-year-old filly (Exceed And Excel x Chamrousse {Ire} {Raven’s Pass {USA}})
The well-related Casserousse (Exceed And Excel) is set to have her second start for trainer Joseph Pride at Hawkesbury on Tuesday over 1100 metres.
On debut she ran a solid enough sixth at Kembla Grange, but looking back, it was a strong form race with Akaysha (Capitalist) and Beadman (Snitzel) running the quinella, and they are both proven in stakes company.
Exceed And Excel | Standing at Darley
Casserousse is a daughter of Darley’s outstanding and now pensioned sire Exceed And Excel and is the second foal from the Raven’s Pass (USA) mare Chamrousse (Ire). She was only placed on the track in Ireland but has a very nice pedigree.
Chamrousse is a half-sister to the Group 1 winner and stallion in Amadeus Wolf (GB), and the Group 3-winning juvenile Rouleau (GB) (Exceed And Excel).
Chamrousse, since producing Casserousse, has produced a 2-year-old colt by Microphone named Eterlou, and a yearling colt by Pinatubo (Ire).

The John O’Shea and Tom Charlton-trained Yoweri (I Am Invincible) will be having his second start at Hawkesbury on Tuesday. On debut he ran a tidy second at Goulburn over 1100 metres behind My Bella Vista (Hellbent), who looks a handy filly.
