The Gardens Race 6 - Mark Hughes Foundation 1-3 Win
DEADLY VENOM (1) shapes as hard to beat after winning last start over the 400m at this track in a useful 22.92. Has the ability and looks hard to top. MONEY PIT (2) was the fastest winner on the program last time out, running away to score by one length (22.78) at this track. Form should stack up again here. DON'T DO IT (7) broke from this box and proved too strong when a 1.3 lengths winner in fast time (16.05) in a Grade 5 at this track. Rates a leading chance again. REBORN SCARLETT (4) is always a threat when she races at this track and distance.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 272m in 15.96. Followed that up with a minor placing over 388m at Gosford at Grade 5 a week-and-a-half ago. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Good effort to win last start by 3 lengths over 400m at this track in a handy (22.91), beating Midnight Mohawk. Has claims if at her best.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 2nd over 400m at this track beaten 2.75 lengths (23.20) behind Whisky Bent in a Grade 5 on February 27. Has ability and can run well.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 272m in 16.05 last start, beating Imogene Pass. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (23.34) at this track over 400m. Top-three hope with the right run.
