The Gardens Race 9 - Mark Hughes Foundation Pathways
TEAPOT SCANDAL (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (23.41) last time in a Mix 2/3 at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and eight minor placings to her name from 18 starts. Has ability and is a key runner. MY OCTAVIUS (2) turned spotting a big start finishing eighth (20.68) last time in a Grade 5 at Grafton. Should be about the mark. HOOKED ON HOPE (8) comes off an average effort last start when fifth at this track over 400m behind Petite Fernando (23.63) in a Grade 5. The form out of her last race has been franked. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. ZIPPING SEVERUS (6) was unplaced here last start but gets his chance to atone.
