The Gardens Race 5

Ladbrokes Quick Multi Max 150 Points

Prize Money: $2,335

SHY HI (8) doesn't have the best strike-rate. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing second (23.08) at this track. The form out of last race has been strong. Top chance in this line up. MAGIC TECHNIQUE (3) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 3rd at Maitland over 400m. Leading player again. SAIL AWAY SAM (6) was out of placings last time (30.32) at Gosford in a Grade 5, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths. Already a winner from this draw. Can hit the frame with the right run. HARDY RUM (5) cannot be written off despite a miss here at his latest outing.

Failed to finish the race over 300m at Taree Super Track last start. Prior to that was beaten 12 lengths over 300m at Taree Super Track in a Grade 5. Faces sharper opposition here. Strong form emerging from the last run. Looks one of the chances.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won easily by 6 lengths at this track (22.82) beating Billy Blinders in a Grade 5 on February 13. Well placed and among the chances here.

Latest effort finished 5th on March 3 over 515m at Gosford behind Messy Boy beaten 7 lengths (30.32) in a Grade 5. Has a fast 22.86 PB at this course and distance. Hard to beat.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior finished in the minors when second (23.30) at big odds over 400m at this track. Tough draw to overcome but is among the better hopes.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when second (23.08) at this track over 400m. Strong form emerging from the that last run. Leading chance.

Hasn't shown any early speed lately and drifts back in her races. The latest effort was a 5.5 lengths eighth over 400m at this track. Thereabouts last time others preferred this line-up.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
