The Gardens Race 4

Emergency Services Appreciation

Prize Money: $2,655

CHOPPER EXPRESS (7) was in the placings last time but shapes well for this on his swift win the start prior, getting around Taree Super Track over 525m in 30.39. Has the ability and looks a key chance again. MOLLY ON FIRE (1) rocketed out of the inside draw with a strong early sectional and gave a sight but had to settle for a placing, finishing third (30.43) at Wentworth Park over 520m. Leading chance. JASPER DARKE (3) is looking to continue his winning ways off an enormous 22.73 victory at this track. Expecting another bold showing. ARMATREE VIOLET (6) is right in the mix.

Good effort to win last start by 5 lengths over 400m at this track in a handy (23.18), beating Gunnell Girl. Will find this a bit tougher, likely to find this too tough.

Impressive performance to score by 3 lengths in a Free For All last start at this track, clocking an excellent 22.73 for the 400m trip. Has the ability and can measure up again.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (23.12) over 400m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Looking to others.

Didn't make the placings last time at Dubbo (23.57) in a Free For All, finishing a 5.5 lengths sixth. Has two successes and two minors from seven starts from box 6. Looks one of the chances.

Charged out of the boxes with a strong early sectional but bumped into one better when runner up (22.94) at this track over 400m. Has run blistering time here with a 22.62 PB at the distance. Hard to beat.

Snuck into the minor money last time when a 5 length third at this track but did record a fast 22.86 over the 400m trip. This tougher but prefer for a place this time.
