Gunnedah Race 2 - Mark Hughes Foundation 0-1 Win
HOT TO TEST (1) recorded his 1st career win last time out (18.54) at Dubbo and drawn box 1 for the first time here. Sure to prove hard to beat. ARMATREE PESTO (5) comes off an average run last start when fourth at this track over 340m behind Extreme Blue (20.21). One of the main contenders. TRUST A PROCESS (2) has an honest record despite remaining a maiden after 16 starts. Continues to race well without winning, finishing in the money at the last six runs. Comes through a solid form race last start. Overdue and expected to feature again. ZIPPING HOLLY (8) has ability and can feature with the right run after missing a cheque here most recently.

Racing consistently with six top-three finishes in a row. Last start finished 2nd in a Maiden on March 25 over 340m at this track behind Kiando Piper beaten 0.8 lengths (19.82). The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage sixth last time out over 516m at Dubbo. Will be tested in this company.

Won two starts back at this track over 431m in 25.34. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fifth over 515m at The Gardens at Mix level. Not suited by wide draw, can't recommend against this lot.

Two runs so far have been ordinary, the latest when beaten 11 lengths into sixth over 340m at this track. Can do much better this time.
