The Gardens Race 4 - Tg Mark Hughes Foundation 6-15
STARLIGHT DUKE (1) turned in a plain run last time when fifth at this track over 400m behind Wreck It Rex (23.77) in a Grade 5. Goes well out of this box with a win and three minor placings. Should be very hard to beat this time. REBORN SCARLETT (4) was out of the placings last time but before that was an impressive winner (22.69) in a Grade 5 at this track. Key player on best and worth another try. MISS ELPHABA (3) spotted a start but wound up strongly late and finished third and beaten 4.5 lengths (23.22) at this track in Grade 5. The form out of her last race has been franked. Expected to be in the finish again. KATIE'S QUICK (6) will have admirers again after placing as favourite last time out.

Produced a good effort last start to finish fourth in a Grade 5 on January 20 over 388m at Gosford behind Nova Lass, beaten 2.25 lengths (22.76). The form out of the last run measures up. Among the chances.

Drawn the outside box and could be suited with some luck. Goes ok at this track and distance but recent form not good enough, prepared to risk.
