Gosford Race 4 - Mark Hughes Foundation 0-1 Win
FAST THINKER (8) was favourite last start and led all the way, scoring by 5.5 lengths (29.73) at this track in a Maiden over 515m. Recorded one of the quickest times on the card in scoring last start. Well placed and will be tough to beat. LAGRANGE (2) started long odds but took maiden two back then finished a 8 length fifth last start at The Gardens over 515m (30.31). Drawn well from box 2. Expected to bounce back to best. RAINBOW SHOUT (1) turned in a modest effort most recently when seventh at this track over 515m behind Red Hot Tina (30.71) in a Grade 5. Cannot be left out. FUGENZO (4) can fill a top-three spot.

Suited by inside box. Last start finished 7th in a Grade 5 on June 9 over 515m at this track behind Red Hot Tina beaten 14 lengths (30.71). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Had been in consistent form with three minors on end before missing the frame last start when fourth (30.43) at Richmond. Boxed awkwardly and will need to find best.

In the money last time at this track (35.36) in a Mix, finishing a 7 length third. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Tough line-up and may struggle.

Returns from a break and was a winner at only other try fresh, which was at first career start scoring at this track over 515m. Looks well placed here and expected to go close.
