The Gardens Race 11 - Mark Hughes Foundation
ZIPPING OSAKA (1) has a strong winning strike-rate over this journey with two wins and a placing from four tries. In the money last time at this track (23.15) in a Grade 5, finishing a nose second. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. REMISSION RUN (2) showed good early burn but run over late to finish 7th at Taree Super Track in Grade 5 company. Cannot be underestimated. HEY ZIPPER (8) improved her time on first attempt this course and distance with a 11 length win in 22.71 here latest. Harder here but expected to feature again. LARRIKIN PIONEER (7) scored last time and appeals as a top-three prospect.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2 lengths in 22.76, beating Moonlight Zipper. Last start finished last over 400m at this track beaten 18 lengths (24.01) behind Hey Zipper in a Grade 5 on July 18. Be tough to make an impression against this lot.

Eye-catching performance tracking the speed and going on to score by a nose in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a slick 29.69 over the 515m trip. Expecting another bold showing.
