Gosford Race 9 - Mark Hughes Foundation
GOT MERIT (7) goes very well this course and distance starting 10 times for four wins and five minors. Missed the frame latest (23.22) when fifth over 388m at this track in a Grade 5. Has the ability and should feature. STAR ELISE (1) drew an outside box and was game in defeat when only a nose from the winner Let's Win Rosie in second(22.59) at this track. Remains without a win from the draw but has been in the placings seven times from eight attempts. Expected to feature again. DIRE (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (23.72) last time in a Grade 5 at Richmond. Has a strong winning record at this journey. Has the ability to give this a shake. NORTHERN TIGER (4) is a last-start placegetter and ran good time - in the mix again.
