The Gardens Race 5

Tg Mark Hughes Foundation 6-15

Prize Money: $2,335

AUSSIE BELL (1) turned in a plain run last time when eighth at this track over 400m behind My Moon Shadow (24.16) in a Grade 5. Safe beginner who draws ideally on the inside. Can make amends. DRINK ROSE (3) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing seventh (19.01) in a Grade 5 at Richmond. Has the ability to give this a shake. CESSNOCK GIRL (2) is a patchy beginner. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on December 13 over 400m at this track behind Daphne Zacapa beaten 8 lengths (23.48). Suited here and expected to run well. XENA LANE (5) has not raced here but still warrants respect.

Didn't finish two back and couldn't make the frame last time when she finished 4th on December 13 over 400m at this track behind Daphne Zacapa beaten 8 lengths (23.48) in a Grade 5. Looks well placed and should prove hard to beat.

Latest effort finished 7th in a Grade 5 on December 28 over 320m at Richmond behind Cochise Squaw beaten 10 lengths (19.01). Tipped to improve sharply. Rates highly on best form.

Facing tougher opposition than she has faced recent starts and current form just not to what is required to figure. Not going well enough to figure in this.

Missed the frame last time but finished in the minors at big odds two back when third (20.31) over 340m at Gunnedah. Awkwardly drawn but capable of a better result.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.61) in a Grade 5, finishing a 9 length eighth. Goes very well from the draw boasting three places from six starts. Makes appeal on best.

Country racer who only starts fairly, coming off mixed results. Was 7th last start over 431m at Gunnedah (25.97) beaten 12 lengths, behind Smart Minx in Grade 5 on December 31. Will have to be at her best; forget the latest effort. Among the chances.
