The Gardens Race 7

FROM THE DISCO (1) ran below best last time finishing fifth (23.54) over 400m at Dubbo from Box 1. Has a strong record out of this box with four wins and a minor placing from eight starts. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. LAURIE'S FERRARI (3) has a strong overall record having five wins and 11 places from 24 starts including a last start third (22.60) over 388m at Gosford. Has the ability and rates a key chance this line-up. BUNDY BLUE (4) goes very well this trip starting 12 times for five wins and four minors. Scored by 4 lengths last time (22.37) in a Grade 5 over 400m at Maitland. Looks one of the chances. MY MACHINE (2) can run a bold race on best form.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 4.5 lengths third (22.60) over 388m at Gosford and making it two placings on end. Rates highly on best form. Expected to feature.

Was out of placings last time (17.87) at Taree Super Track in a NG, finishing sixth and beaten 9 lengths. Goes well out of this box with a win and two minors. Others appear better placed.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Dubbo over 318m in 18.94. Followed that up with a minor placing over 300m at Taree Super Track at Grade 3/4 two weeks ago. Happy enough to avoid.

Comments

Well supported last time and rocketed out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but had to settle for the minor money, finishing a 5.5 lengths third (22.90) over 400m at this track. Has an exceptional 22.65 best time at this course and distance. Worth including.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
