Gosford Race 8 - Mark Hughes Foundation

BACKYARD FRIENDS (7) is unbeaten over this track and trip in three starts. Comes off a (29.40) win last time, scoring by 8 lengths in a Grade 5 over 515m at this track. Looks suited and should go close. TURN UP ACE (2) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (30.10) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. The form out of his last race has been franked. Deserves plenty of respect. VINTAGE TIGER (5) was out of the placings when fourth last time but prior to that posted a dynamic 29.51 win over 515m at this track. Should be in this for a long way. HOOKED ON JOY (1) was a surprise winner last time, cannot be ruled out.

Scored by 4 lengths last time (29.82) in a Grade 5 over 515m at The Gardens. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and two places from eight starts. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Was out of placings last time (30.10) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from two starts. Expected to go close.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 515m. Last start finished 4th over 515m at this track beaten 9 lengths (30.29) behind Tight Bond in a Grade 5 on November 7. Look for improvement. Not out of it.

Has won four in a row. Good effort to score just five days ago over 515m at this track by 8 lengths in a Grade 5. Flying lately and can score again.
