Gosford Race 3 - Mark Hughes Foundation 1-3 Win
SHINING REIGN (6) made an eye-catching debut when flew the lids with a fast early split and forging to a 5 length win (22.43) over 388m at this track. Exciting prospect and rates the one to beat again. BLUEY'S GIRL (1) was an effortless winner two back scoring by 0.8 lengths but could manage only midfield last time when finished 4th and beaten 5.5 lengths at Richmond (23.18). Safe beginner who draws ideally on the inside. Has the ability to give this a shake. FUGENZO (8) was well fancied last time over 401m at Richmond but in traffic and fell. Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck. No luck latest and gets chance to atone. ALFIE'S GIRL (2) can feature with the right run.

Won two starts back over 320m at Richmond. Last start she finished 4th in a Grade 5 on August 14 over 401m at Richmond behind Mrs. Buttons beaten 5.5 lengths (23.18). Draw likely to suit. Rates highly and looks tough to beat.

Could only manage sixth last time but the start prior hit the frame when third (23.33) over 400m at The Gardens. Draws an inside box and is in the mix.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when second (22.74) over 388m at this track. Tough draw to overcome and looks safely held.

Made considerable ground after settling back on debut. Won comfortably by 5 lengths at this track (22.43) beating Caspian in a Maiden on August 11. Will find this much tougher but he's got good box manners and speed. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of the latest win.

Showed good improvement when third behind Hands On Tina at this track last start over 388m (22.46). Gets back so might need a bit of luck.

Failed to finish the race over 401m at Richmond on July 26. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Needs to do more than recent efforts, the latest a seventh over 388m at this track. Prefer to watch at this stage.
