The Gardens Race 5 - Mark Hughes Foundation 2-4 Win
SANDRA KEEPING (7) goes very well this trip starting five times for two wins and two minors. Scored by 3.5 lengths last time (30.71) in a Grade 5 over 525m at Taree Super Track. Makes strong appeal on best. BLAZING PRINCE (2) was below best at his last start when 8th at Dubbo following a second place finish (30.59) at Taree Super Track two back. Likely to play a prominent role. ZIPPING LARGO (1) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing seventh (30.61) in a Grade 5 at this track. The form out of the last run is proven to be strong. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. FASCINATE JOSIE (3) is another with top-three prospects.

Good win last start as odds-on favourite by 3.5 lengths over 525m at Taree Super Track in a handy 30.71, beating Fools Rush In. Ran one of the fastest times on the program in that last win. Stay with her.

Could only manage fifth last time but the start prior hit the frame when second (19.63) over 340m at Bulli. Boxed out wide but capable of a better result.
