The Gardens Race 8 - Mark Hughes Foundation
MORE RAIN (1) scored two back with ease when racing on speed but drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 6 length 5th at this track (23.34). Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. SAVINA (8) jumped from a squeeze box but quickly into stride and led until late to place third and beaten 3 lengths (23.13) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Nicely placed to grab a well-deserved win. CANYA PLEASE (3) missed the frame and was safely held latest finishing 6th at Taree Super Track following on from a second place finish (17.90) there the start prior. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Leading chance. REBORN DESTINY (6) is always hard to beat when she races here at this trip.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (23.03) at this track over 400m. Has claims if at her best.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when third (23.13) at this track over 400m. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.
