The Gardens Race 9 - Mark Hughes Foundation 1-3 Win Final F
ZIPPING JAKARA (1) has a fair record and proved too strong last time to win by 1.75 lengths at Gunnedah in a handy 30.61 beating Aston Hurn. Ran the fastest time on the program in her latest win. Can measure up again. NANGAR CHICK (8) recorded a win over 515m at this track in a convincing 29.51 last start. In form and looks a leading player again. ZIPPING SWOOPES (3) flew the lids and led throughout to get off the mark with her maiden win, then finished a 12 length fourth last start at this track over 515m (30.38). Back to track where she won her maiden. Can improve sharply here. HOT TO TRACE (2) is a last-start placegetter at this track and distance - in the mix again.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when third (29.99) over 515m at this track. Has a squeeze box to navigate and will need the right run to feature.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fourth last time out over 515m at this track. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Hit the frame latest (30.18) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed four times. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.
