Gawler Race 5

Market In The Gardens Open Stake Pr1 Division1

Prize Money: $2,095

BO CRUZ (1) goes very well this trip starting 25 times for 11 wins and 10 minors. Placed last time (22.77) at this track in a OPEN, finishing second and beaten 3.5 lengths. Looks well placed and should feature. CARRY ON CASEY (7) was prominent throughout when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when 4th and beaten 6 lengths at this track (23.05). Got the money at her only try from this box. Worth another chance. TOWN STRANGER (8) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (22.94) at this track. Solid record here at the distance winning 12 races. Has good speed and can quickly clear the pack out wide. Can measure up this time. GRAND CHIEF (5) failed despite market confidence last time but a better run is on the cards.

Finished fourth (23.11) last start at this track. Prior to that had recorded three minor placings in a row. Has a low draw but appears tested on latest effort.

Comments

Found the going tougher last start when third over 400m at this track. That followed a win two back in 22.77 beating Prime Voltage over 400m at this track. Not one of the leading chances on this occasion.

Comments

Missed the frame latest (19.69) when fourth over 350m at Murray Bridge Straight in a Grade 5/6. Has three wins and four placings from 10 starts from the draw. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

Goes well at this track and trip. At the last outing finished 4th in a Free For All on January 28 over 400m at this track behind Mad Maverick beaten 5 lengths (22.94). Has a very good strike-rate out of box 8, scoring three times. Among the chances.
