The Gardens Race 9

Pharlap Liam Cup

Prize Money: $2,515

HOUSIE BOB (6) has missed the frame at his last two runs but could not have been more impressive the run prior in his dynamic 22.79 win at this track over 400m. Expected to push the clock again here. DAPHNE ZACAPA (1) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 0.8 lengths into second (22.90) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Has never missed the frame from 11 starts from this draw, including six wins. Expected to be in this for a long way. VINTAGE RACER (2) has a strong record this track and trip with seven wins and three placings from 19 starts. Scored by a nose last time (22.85) in a Grade 5 over 400m at this track. Looks suited here and can measure up. CHLOE'S COMET (8) won as punters' elect last time and is a major player again.

Strong performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by a nose in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a fast 22.85 over the 400m trip. Expected to go close again if runs up to latest time.

Got back last start and could only manage seventh but before that won by 2.25 lengths at this track (23.04) beating Stock's Gift in a Grade 5 on March 27. Looking to others this time.

Missed the frame latest (23.02) when fourth over 400m at this track in a Free For All. Goes very well from the draw boasting two victories and three places from nine starts. Can hit the frame with the right run.
