Laser Hawk attracts Doncaster Mile support

Friday 18 January 2013, 5:21pm

Three of the biggest names from the Gai Waterhouse stable dominate the top of the first Doncaster Mile market but it is a stablemate making a comeback who has attracted immediate support.

Triple crown winner Pierro shares the top line of betting with his Caulfield Guineas conqueror All Too Hard at $7 with Waterhouse's 2012 winner More Joyous second pick at $11.

Another Tulloch Lodge star, the untapped Proisir ($15), is also well in commission but it is the $21 chance Laser Hawk who has pre-post punters most interested.

A Group One winner and Australian Derby placegetter last year, Laser Hawk missed the spring after surgery to remove a bone chip.

But two encouraging trials have convinced stable supporters the horse is in for a profitable autumn campaign.

"The money suggests he has overcome the injury that ruled him out of the spring," TAB's Matt Jenkins said.

"The four-year-old looked in good order with a recent trial at Randwick."

Waterhouse is chasing her eighth Doncaster Mile victory.

Darley's Golden Rose winner Epaulette shares the fifth line of betting at $17 with the 2011 Epsom winner Secret Admirer and Shoot Out, runner-up to More Joyous last year.

The Queen's horse Carlton House, also from the Waterhouse yard, is one of six horses at $21.

Also on the $21 line are the Emirates Stakes winner Happy Trails and Perth star Luckygray.
