The stable is hoping for a change of fortune for Altivo after being beaten at short odds in his two previous starts and looking like heading south for slim pickings.
Team Hawkes were forced to take a Melbourne insurance policy with progressive galloper Altivo before getting a run in the $1million Five Diamonds Prelude at Randwick on Saturday.
Altivo has been well found in betting at his two previous runs. Although his tenth of 13 first up at $3.80 doesn’t sound encouraging, he pitched for an inside run that closed and was blocked for a run in the final 200m before going to the line untested. Punters will get a price to find out. Altivo is a $10 chance in a wide-open market headed by Democracy Manifest and Cotehele at $5.
