The Gardens Race 12

Photographer's Last Chance

Prize Money: $2,630

SHINTARO (7) comes here off a placing in respectable time (22.77) over 400m at this track when beaten 1.75 lengths in a Free For All. Hard to top on the time from last start. TAKE ON WILL (5) has been a little hard to follow, missing the frame last time but was a Grade 5 winner three back and returns to 400m where he tends to run well. Well placed here and should do much better. WALTER AVENUE (1) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (18.20) last time in a NG at Richmond Straight. Form here sound including two wins. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minor placings. Should play a prominent role. BIG RUSH (8) is always hard to beat when he races here at this trip.

Missed the frame last time but was in the minors two on end prior to that, the most recent when second (23.02) over 400m at this track. Drawn a inside box but looks tested this line up.

Didn't make the placings last time at Wentworth Park (30.49) in a Grade 5, finishing a 11 length fifth. Has two wins and five placings from 10 starts from the draw. Has ability but looking elsewhere this time.

Missed the frame last start when eighth and beaten 21 lengths at Wentworth Park. Form solid prior to that including a win at Wentworth Park three back. Suited here and expected to bounce back.

Comments

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 1.75 lengths third (22.77) over 400m at this track and making it two placings on end. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Should get a clear run from the wide draw. Wasn't impressive last start but does have a great record at this track and distance, capable of taking this out.
