Gosford Race 9 - Mark Hughes Foundation
PRESIDENT ROLEX (8) showed little early speed at his last couple, the latest finishing seventh (25.82) in a Mix 4/5 H at Ballarat. Has a good record at this journey. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and three minor placings to his credit. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. WILDFIRE PANDA (1) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing sixth (30.26) in a NG at Wentworth Park. Strike rate this course and distance strong having won three of four tries. Comes out of a hot form race last start. Bold showing expected. PRECIOUS GLOW (4) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on her brilliant win the start prior, getting around this track over 388m in 22.07. Must include on winning run two back. TARAWI BANJO (6) looks an each-way chance.

Could only manage sixth last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (30.13) over 515m at this track. Drawn a inside box but needs to find best form to feature.

Missed the frame latest (30.18) when fourth over 515m at this track in a NG. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from nine starts. Tough field and looking to others this time.

Missed the frame latest (25.82) when seventh over 450m at Ballarat in a Mix 4/5 H. Fairly consistent record from the draw including a win and three minors. Looks suited and should go close.
