The Gardens Race 5 - Mark Hughes Foundation 1-2 Win
NITRO ON FIRE (8) will take beating coming off a lightning 22.49 success at this track over 400m. Should be in this for a long way. ROXY ALL OVER (1) has hit the frame here at the last two runs, most recently finishing second beaten 5 lengths (23.19). The form out of last race has been strong. Hard to beat again. PRINCESS ENERGY (2) produced a modest effort most recently when seventh at this track over 400m behind Rainbow Shout (23.70) in a Grade 5. Expected to feature in the finish. ZIPPING SHYANN (7) hit the frame here last time and looks a chance again.

Looks close to another win after her success on September 24 at Gosford over 388m. Last start was second over 400m in 23.19, behind Huxley's Rocket. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.70) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length seventh. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Has ability and should feature.

Goes well at this track and trip. Most recent effort finished 5th over 400m at this track beaten 3.5 lengths (23.42) behind Wentworth Flyer in a Grade 5 on October 22. Solid claims this line-up.

Started big odds last time but hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but fading out of it to finish fourth (22.57) at Gosford over 388m. Likely to struggle this time.

Finished third last time (18.62) over 320m at Richmond. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks to have the job ahead.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 400m at this track. Prepared to overlook.

Form has been solid with minor placings at her last three starts. Last time out finished 3rd over 400m at this track beaten 0.8 lengths (23.23) behind Wentworth Flyer in a Grade 5 on October 22. More than capable and has to be included.

Good performance to post a big 4.5 lengths win at this track over 400m (22.49) beating Keys A Kracken in Grade 5 on October 2. Boasts a course and distance PB in a scintillating 22.49. Top chance.
