The Gardens Race 8

Vale Johnny Farrell

Prize Money: $2,655

NAUGHTY ZESTA (2) lines up chasing another win after sizzling around this track over 400m in 22.78 on June 12. Expected to push the clock again here. AUSSIE OSCAR (1) is worth forgiving for his last effort when fourth (20.15) at Grafton over 350m. Solid record at the distance winning eight races. Expected to give a good account. THEO THE GREAT (3) was well fancied last time and led throughout to score (23.07) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. One of the key runners again. MAEVE BABY (4) missed the placings here last start but is well-placed to make amends.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 4th on June 14 over 350m at Grafton behind Federal Senor beaten 6 lengths (20.15) in a NG. Capable of improvement on latest effort. Well placed and should feature.

Returns from a four months break and only other fresh up run was on debut, when a 22.81 winner over 400m at this track. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Good effort at double-figure odds last time when third (23.26) over 400m at this track. Jumps from a wide draw. Has to do a bit more.
