The Gardens Race 8 - Mark Hughes Foundation
HIGH DEGREES (1) goes very well at the course and distance with four wins and a placing from seven starts. Scored by half a length last time (23.23) in a Grade 5 over 400m at this track. Has the ability and should feature. HUXLEY'S ROCKET (4) was a winner (23.04) at this track two back but out of the placings last time when 6th there. Form here at the trip sound including four wins. Great chance to atone. FASCINATE JOSIE (5) was a strong winner (22.98) from box 3 last time, scoring by 3.5 lengths at this track. Has a tricky draw to overcome and will need a clean break. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Leading chance again. ZIPPING KLIMENKO (2) cannot be ruled out.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 400m in 23.23 last start, beating Roxy All Over. Likes the rails so comes through a solid form race. Expected to feature.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 400m. Last start finished 6th in a Grade 5 on November 7 over 400m at this track behind Flying Stratus beaten 7 lengths (23.16). Below best last time but looks well placed here. Deserves another chance.

Hit the frame at this track last time when a 3 length third but did record a solid 22.88 over the 400m trip. Prefer others this time.
