The Gardens Race 12 - Mark Hughes Foundation 1-3 Win
WENTWORTH FLYER (2) flew the lids with a slick early split last time and went on to clock 22.79 as a strongly fancied winner over 400m at this track. Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Ideally placed to take this out. IBROX REIGN (1) rocketed out of the inside draw with a strong early sectional and gave a sight but had to settle for a placing, finishing second (22.59) at Gosford over 388m. Good beginner assisted by the inside draw. Expected to feature again. PRECIOUS WONDER (3) looks close to another win after finishing third from Box 4 last time (23.11) at Maitland. Winning chance. NAN SAID NO (4) is one of the chances after a surprise minor prize last time.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when second (22.59) at Gosford over 388m. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Good effort to score just six days ago over 400m at this track by 7 lengths in a Maiden. Can make it back to back wins.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd in a Grade 5 on October 3 over 400m at this track behind Nuts Then Bolts beaten a neck (22.90). Good beginner who will take catching despite the middle draw.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest when third (22.67) over 388m at Gosford. Tricky draw to overcome. Looking to others.

Starting from wide draw and has been unwanted at recent poor starts. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
