Gosford Race 9

Mark Hughes Foundation

Stake: $1,969

PRECIOUS GLOW (4) Did well when 3rd last time at Lithgow. Should muster plenty of early speed. Exhibiting good form this campaign. John Buttsworth has been training plenty of winners recently. This suits. TARAWI BANJO (6) Ran on into 4th last run around here. Might take a while to wind up but should be hitting top gear in the straight. Genuine threat. GRAND BLAZER (3) Looked good when 3rd last run at Lithgow. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Can win. WILDFIRE PANDA (1) Mediocre performance when 6th last run at Wentworth Park but have to respect the form at this trip. Drawn beautifully. Each way value for this race.

Odds of $19.00 and average performance when 6th last run at Wentworth Park but strong performer at this distance in the past. Can save some energy from the draw. Genuine claims.

Odds of $20.00 and looked outclassed when 7th last start at Ballarat but strong performer at the trip. Jason Mackay kennel are having a great run of late. Marginal prospect.
