The Gardens Race 2 - Mark Hughes Foundation 0-1 Win
ZIPPING AMOS (5) has been in super consistent form recently with five minors on end before missing the frame latest finishing fourth (31.21) at Taree Super Track. Safe beginner but has a tricky box to overcome. Has winning claims on his best figures. TEQUILA GIRL (1) turned in a plain effort last time when sixth at this track over 515m behind Canya Wild (30.61) in a Grade 5. Reliable out of the boxes and should take advantage of the inside draw. Should be in this for a long way. HOT TO RULE (2) had been in super honest form hitting the frame two times on end before finishing sixth (30.13) at this track last time. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. In the mix. JAMATI GIRL (7) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (30.13) in a Grade 5, finishing a 4 length sixth. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. Looks suited and should go close.

Strong performance to win by 1.5 lengths at this track over 400m (23.52) beating Botox Chevy in Maiden on August 15. Other runners look much more appealing.

Tends to be fast away. Produced a good effort last start to finish fifth on August 17 over 450m at Maitland behind Roman Fly, beaten 2.75 lengths (25.54) in a Mix. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
