Wyong based trainer Kim Waugh will try to win successive Hawkesbury events at the track on Tuesday with Northern Eyes when it contests the Lander Toyota Provincial Class 1 Handicap (1300m) with Jay Ford in the saddle.
Formerly trained by Chris Waller, Northern Eyes is a well-bred gelding by Zoustar out of city and listed winning mare Sexy Eyes. He debuted for the Waugh stable with a maiden victory on August 1, and Waugh thinks he can go on with the job.

“He was dominant winning at Hawkesbury at his second race start for me,” Waugh said.
“He had very good form when he was with Chris and he won a trial for me before he ran fourth at Wyong when he debuted for our stable.
“He went on with the job after that when he bolted in at Hawkesbury when he raced on the pace. He should do the same again on Tuesday and if he can run up to the latest effort, he should be very hard to hold out again.”
Ford will also combine with Moore when he rides Mogul Monarch in the Blakes Marine Maiden Handicap (1100m).
“Mogul Monarch had two starts in April and ran well when second on debut at Gosford,” Waugh said.
“He ran into a handy one [Captain Furai] at Newcastle after that and wasn’t beaten too far when he ran seventh and we gave him a break after that.
“He’s looked good winning both of his trials leading into this resuming run and he has a good gate to jump from with Jay on him after being on in the latest trial.”
