The Gardens Race 3 - Mark Hughes Foundation 0-3 Win
HOT TO TRACE (2) doesn't win out of turn but looks close to breaking through. Has been in the minors the last two runs, the latest finishing second (29.85) at this track. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Capable of going well again. ARCANE LEGEND (1) is having her first try over the longer journey. Comes here after a last start 4th and beaten 8 lengths (30.49) at this track. Can feature with the right run. LUX QUEEN LILY (8) was prominent early from the tricky draw and did a fair job to be beaten 6 lengths into third (35.49) at Gosford in a Mix over 603m. Expected to be in this for a long way. I'M SWEET (5) warrants respect following a recent placing.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Grade 5 on October 10 over 515m at this track behind Hard Style Molly beaten 8 lengths (30.49). Placed two back at Gosford. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Finished second last start (35.36) at big odds over 603m at Gosford. Drawn awkwardly. Will need plenty of luck.

Hit the frame latest (32.15) when third at Maitland in a Mix. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Tough field and looking to others this time.
