The Gardens Race 7 - Mark Hughes Foundation
MINTER MULWEE (5) Came in 4th last run at the track. Capable of bouncing back and back over extra ground. Should be going forward early. Performing impressively since resuming from a spell. Live winning chance. HOOKED ON JOY (1) Average at best when 6th last run at Gosford. Happy to overlook that run and drawn the rails. Deserves consideration. BREAKAWAY ZIPPER (4) Mediocre performance when 4th last run at this track. Expected to rebound. Natina Howard kennel are having a great run of late. Must respect. BILLY BLINDERS (3) Zipped home into 2nd last start here in 22.87s over 400m. Going well this campaign. Will be there at the finish.

Odds of $3.30 and lacklustre showing when 6th last run at Gosford. Happy to overlook that run and has drawn the rails. Definite claims for punters.

Jumped at $7.50 and unimpressive effort when 4th last run at the track. Expected to rebound. Have to respect the recent Natina Howard form. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Started at $46.00 and was nothing special when 7th last run at Wentworth Park and will be facing a significant drop in distance. Very unlikely.
