The Gardens Race 8 - Mark Hughes Foundation
HOUSIE BOB (4) rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when second (23.25) at this track over 400m. Good beginner but will need a little luck from a middle draw. Likely to feature again. WEFFALEE LEE LEE (7) has a strong record here with three wins and three placings from nine starts. Below best last time at Maitland (22.76) in a NG, finishing a 6 length fourth. Can feature in the finish. MY MOON SHADOW (1) put in a much better performance last start when in the placings at Gosford behind Aussie Oscar (22.23) in a Grade 3/4. Has the early speed to land on the pace and can stick on. Good beginner assisted by the inside draw. Expecting another good run. VINTAGE RACER (8) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Big odds last time but hit the ground running with a strong early split, giving a sight but fading only late to finish second (22.23) at Gosford over 388m. Has ability and among the chances.
