The Gardens Race 8

Minmi Hotel Masters

Prize Money: $2,310

YOUNG IVAN (2) Showed a good turn of foot when 2nd last time at this venue in 23.01s over 400m and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Better hope. MURRURUNDI BOY (1) Resuming. Competed in a tight contest last time at Taree in 17.7s over 300m and drawn the rails. Should race on the speed. Returns to an increased distance. Rates well in this race. WINLOCK PIPER (8) Faded at the finish when 2nd last time at this venue in 22.92s over 400m and has a positive draw. Won't be far away during the run. Strong claims. FAT BOY'S CHARM (7) Came on strongly to finish 2nd last start at Maitland in 22.54s over 400m. Possesses very good closing speed. One of the chances.

Back from a break. Close up last time at Taree in 17.7s over 300m and back to a longer distance. Shows good early pace. Drawn beautifully. Major player who should go very close.

Applied plenty of pressure when 2nd last time at the track in 22.92s over 400m and will try to take advantage of the draw. Has early speed and positions nicely. Solid chance.
