The Gardens Race 3 - Mark Hughes Foundation
WOOPI BLUEBIRDS (1) stalked the lead after a clean break from the tricky draw and went on to finish second (20.04) at Gunnedah in a Grade 5 over 340m. Yet to score from this box but has never missed the frame in two starts. Sure to be about the mark. MY HARLEY (3) spotted a start but wound up strongly late and finished third and beaten 4.5 lengths (23.41) at this track in Grade 5. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Overdue and is among the main hopes. COCO BELLA (7) scored (23.53) last time out over 400m at this track nine weeks ago. Overall form off this box is sound. Has a good overall strike-rate and can find the frame here. QUEEN LOCH (2) is a last-start placegetter who should be thereabouts.

Won two starts back over 400m at this track. Last start she finished 2nd on November 19 over 340m at Gunnedah behind Private Jake beaten 5.5 lengths (20.04) in a Grade 5. Draw likely to suit. Fought on last time. Right in the mix again.

Backs up after winning by 0.8 lengths at this track (16.52) beating Queen Loch in a Grade 5 on November 22 six days ago. Likely to find this a lot tougher and she needs to find another gear.

Resuming from a nine weeks spell and worth noting was a fresh up winner last time in, scoring in 19.81 over 340m at Gunnedah. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Was out of placings last time (23.86) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing eighth and beaten 13 lengths. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from three starts. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won comfortably by 5.5 lengths at Taree Super Track (17.44) beating Keylin in a Grade 3/4 on November 15. Others make more appeal.

Could only manage seventh last time but placed two on end prior to that, the latest at double-figure odds when third (20.12) over 340m at Gunnedah. Will need to find best.
