The Gardens Race 10 - Mark Hughes Foundation
MODEST MAN (1) was below best last time at this track (30.11) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 4.5 lengths fourth. Has already won three times from this draw. Expected to be in the finish. PRIMAL BOOST (6) is a well performed dog and winner of seven races who is worth forgiving after finishing out of the placings at Wentworth Park (29.71). Cannot be taken lightly. DRINK TO THAT (7) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and two minors from nine tries. Placed last time (29.96) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 3.5 lengths. Can feature with the right run. SUNBURNT KEEPER (4) has hardly put a foot wrong of late and will be competitive again.
