The Gardens Race 9

The Cheeto Heats - March 14

Prize Money: $2,515

BLAZING WARRIOR (1) comes here after a scorching Grade 4/5 win at this track over 400m in 22.74. Has the ability and expected to go close again. TRICKLE (3) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten one length, (23.29) at this track. Expected to feature. STOP IT ZIPPER (2) was below latest but prior to that a Grade 5 winner in quick time (22.96) at this track in a Grade 5. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. DAPHNE ZACAPA (4) placed last time out at big odds - worth considering.

Comments

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a one length second (23.29) over 400m at this track. Looks a strong winning hope.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at this track over 400m in 23.21. Followed that up with a minor placing over 388m at Gosford at Free For All three days ago. Solid chance with even luck.
