The Gardens Race 7

Grnsw Middle Distance Series

Prize Money: $10,500

GOLDEN PHASE (2) boasts strong form at this track having won three times from three starts. Recorded a 5.5 lengths win (29.38) in a Grade 4/5 last time at this track. Expected to go close. WEFFALEE SHIELD (1) is a well performed dog who recorded his 32nd career win last time out at Maitland (22.29). Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Deserves serious consideration again. JOURNEY (8) was bumped in the run and could manage only fourth but in good time (33.06) at Muswellbrook over 571m in a NG. Key chance on best form. EMERALD DANCER (3) will give backers a sight.

Impressive performance showing plenty of speed to post a big 5.5 lengths victory in a Grade 4/5 last start at this track, recording an excellent 29.38 over the 515m journey. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in her races, Last start finished eighth over 525m at Taree Super Track, beaten 12 lengths. Looking to others this time.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 710m at Albion Park. That followed a win two back in 38.57 beating Last To Know over 660m at Grafton. Needs further improvement to feature.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage eighth last time out over 525m at Taree Super Track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Has finished fourth at the last two runs, both at Muswellbrook, the latest when beaten 5 lengths behind West Rock Casey over 571m. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
