The Gardens Race 3 - Mark Hughes Foundation
SPIN AROUND BLUE (7) wasn't far away at the finish when 5th and beaten only 3.5 lengths (30.78) at Taree Super Track. Has placed several times at this track. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings five times from seven attempts. Worth following up. PAY ME (2) can measure up with the right run. ELECTRIC ASSENT (4) big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, weakening late to finish a 3 length fifth (29.60) over 515m at Gosford. Include.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 340m at Gunnedah. Likely to struggle this time.

Missed the frame last start when fifth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Looks a danger to the top few if returns to best form this time.

Didn't make the placings last time at Gosford (29.60) in a NG, finishing a 3 length fifth. Goes very well off the draw boasting seven wins and three places from 13 starts. Has ability.

Was out of placings last time (30.78) at Taree Super Track in a Grade 4/5, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths. Yet to win but has placed five times from this draw. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.
