The Gardens Race 6 - Mark Hughes Foundation
KAREN STRATUS (8) could not have been more impressive last start in her strong 22.83 win at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. KARLI MULWEE (1) was a little disappointing last start at Taree Super Track when 4th (17.97) over 300m. Has won here at this journey. Should be in this for a long way. DIVA'S DELIGHT (7) was an impressive winner last time in quickest of the meeting when scoring by 0.8 lengths (15.87) at this track. Harder here but expected to measure up. IRONIC AUSSIE (2) has a solid strike rate from this box.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (20.59) over 340m at Gunnedah. Has a solid record off the draw and can measure up.

Good effort to score just six days ago over 272m at this track by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 4/5. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
