The Gardens Race 4

Mark Hughes Foundation

Stake: -

PAST TENSE (4) was impressive last time, posting an effortless 4 lengths win in taking a Grade 5 in 22.76 and a new Best time this course and distance. Expected to push the clock again. MASERATI AVENUE (1) slotted in just off the lead from the wide draw last start and boxed on to finish second (23.01) at this track in a Grade 4/5 over 400m. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to her credit. Hard to beat again. SKINNY MARIE (7) boasts a strong record this journey here with five wins and seven minors from 14 tries. Hit the frame latest (23.21) when third at this track in a Grade 4/5. Makes strong appeal on best. ATOMIC WHACKER (2) is a course and distance winner in the right race to perform well.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 400m at this track clocking 23.01. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.

Caught the eye with a fast early split and setting up a 4 length win at this track over 400m in 22.76. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Turned in a good run last time, placing (23.52) at this track in a Grade 5. Lines up from box 6 for the first time. Tough line-up and places prospects appear best.

In the money last time at this track (23.21) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 6 length third. Goes very well from the draw boasting five places from six starts. Looks hard to beat with even luck.

Fast starter. Last start finished eighth over 400m at this track, beaten 24 lengths (24.74) behind Likeable Rogue in a Free For All on June 14. Forget the latest effort. Among the chances.
