The Gardens Race 11 - Tg Mark Hughes Foundation 6-15
VERGLAS (6) was below best last time but prior to that was narrowly beaten when fourth (22.96) in a Grade 5 at this track. Safe beginner but tricky box to overcome. Expecting sharp improvement this line-up. MY OCTAVIUS (2) was strong over this course and distance last time despite filling the minors, finishing 6 lengths behind Duran Queen in 23.14 and recording a new PB here. Should be in this for a long way. DEMENTIA (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing seventh (18.96) last time in a Grade 5 at Taree Super Track. Form from his last run is proving strong. Leading chance. HECTIC BLUE (8) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Latest effort finished last in a Grade 5 on May 20 over 300m at Taree Super Track behind Peta Zoom beaten 17 lengths (18.96). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.
