The Gardens Race 11 - Mark Hughes Foundation
AUNT BRANDY (1) is a progressive dog who scored her 3rd career win last time at this track, scoring by 0.8 lengths (23.29). Has a strong record out of this box with two wins and a minor placing from four starts. Great chance again. KAELIX COMET (2) was a (22.24) winner last time out at Gosford from Box 5. Boasts two wins from three starts out of this box. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. REBORN PASSION (5) in the money last time at this track (23.63) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length third. Can hit the frame with the right run. BOY NAMED BLUE (8) did the right thing for favourite backers last time and is sure to feature again.

Has won her last two. Good effort to score just six days ago over 400m at this track by 0.8 lengths in a Grade 5. Looks well placed to make it three straight.

Strongly fancied last time and hit the ground running with a slick early split, giving a sight but could manage only third (23.63) at this track over 400m. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.
