The Gardens Race 10 - Mark Hughes Foundation
CANYA TALKING (6) overcame a slow start to win here last week. Can be risky at box rise but can run near track record times when he jumps. Big show. IT'S A TEASE (2) races well this circuit and can improve sharply here off the good draw. MISS MAXI (8) has early pace and could pinch it if able to cross. FASCINATE ABBY (1) the draw helps. Each way.

Has hit the frame the last two starts, the latest at double figure odds when third (20.04) over 340m at Gunnedah. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks to have the job ahead.
