Will Hawkes Racing and Tyler Schiller team up for their first Group 1 win together at Randwick?

Improving sprinter Briasa and emerging young jockey Tyler Schiller might just prove a match made in heaven if Michael Hawkes' assessment of both are borne out.

Horse, jockey and trainer will team up in the Group 1 T J Smith Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on Saturday and Hawkes is bullish on Briasa's chances.

He is equally upbeat about Schiller's talents, reflected in the fact the former champion apprentice has been doing much of the recent riding for the stable, including winning the Group 3 Baillieu aboard Hawkes Racing's Nepotism at Rosehill on Tuesday.

"It's about working together and being on the same page and that's the biggest difference. You need people to be on the same page," Hawkes said.

"You've got to give credit where credit is due. He is a good young rider, he rides light. He has got a lot to give and he's still learning and he wants to learn. That's the biggest key.

"When you've got that sync, and then you have a Hall Of Famer called John Hawkes talking to him before and after the races, it makes a big difference. And that's who he is learning from."

Briasa is also on a learning curve but like Schiller, his talent is abundant.

The winner of six of his eight starts, Briasa's statistics could arguably read even better.

From an outside draw first-up in The Galaxy (1100m) he was ridden quietly, storming home for an eye-catching and luckless fourth to Private Harry.

"He should have won here the other day with the barrier," Hawkes said.

"He draws where Private Harry does and he annihilates them. He's (Private Harry) a good horse too, I'm not potting him, but our horse, I know what he's got.

"It's the right race. It's the right everything. He's flying. He is in the right zone.

"He is a big baby that has got a lot to give and he doesn't know what he's got yet."

Briasa has a much kinder draw in barrier three on Saturday and is a $4.60 chance, behind only $4 favourite Joliestar.

Schiller will also partner classy three-year-old Swiftfalcon for Hawkes Racing in either the Carbine Club Stakes (1600m) or the Doncaster Mile (1600m), for which he is second emergency.

Connections are sweating on the Randwick and Rosehill Guineas placegetter gaining a run in the feature with the Carbine Club Stakes the back-up plan.

"I hope he does get in because you'll see the real Swiftfalcon," Hawkes said of the colt's Doncaster hopes.
