Gosford Race 8 - Mark Hughes Foundation
UNDER ANESTHETIC (3) carved over from wide out and boxed on strongly to finish 0.8 lengths away in second (29.79) behind Bad Knees at The Gardens. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Overdue and is among the main hopes. LATE IN WINTER (1) has a strong winning strike-rate here with two wins and a placing from four tries. Was out of placings last time (29.87) at Wentworth Park in a NG, finishing fourth and beaten 8 lengths. Looks a key chance on best figures. CANYA CONVICT (8) is worth forgiving for his last effort when sixth (25.13) at Goulburn over 440m. Has a good record at this journey. Can figure in the finish. NOVA REIGN (2) scored last time and appeals as a top-three prospect.

Hit the ground running last time with a fast early split and never headed, leading throughout to win by a nose (22.50) over 388m at this track. Must be a winning chance again.

Eye-catching performance to score by 4.5 lengths in a Grade 4/5 last start at Richmond, clocking a fast 29.76 over the 520m trip. Harder here but worth including in multiples.
