The Gardens Race 5

The Shorty Hotel

Prize Money: $2,655

LOCHINVAR GRACE (1) won again in another strong performance after box seating to make it two in a row, scoring by 0.8 lengths (23.24) at this track over 400m. Has performed well from this box with a win and two minor placings to her name from four starts. The hardest to beat again. PAPER SHREDDER (2) was in the minor money with a solid 22.22, finishing second in a Mix 2/3 at Gosford last start. Should be in this for a long way. LAURIE'S FERRARI (4) caught the eye when posting a powerful 24.72 over 431m at Gunnedah three back then has hit the frame in both runs since. Must include on winning run three back. ZIPPING HAGEN (6) won last start in very good time. Sure to run well again.

Has won her last two. Good effort to score just six days ago over 400m at this track by 0.8 lengths in a NG. Safe beginner and drawn to feature off the inside rail.

Did a good job two starts back at Taree Super Track to win by 6 lengths in 17.31, beating Gunnell Girl. Last start finished 5th over 400m at this track beaten 1.75 lengths (23.37) behind Lochinvar Grace in a NG on July 4. Has ability and looks a winning hope.

Showed strong early pace and proved too slick around Taree Super Track over 300m in 17.26, claiming a Grade 3/4 by a nose. Makes plenty of appeal on that latest effort.

Was out of placings last time (18.64) at Richmond in a Free For All, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths. Has two wins and three placings from 10 starts from the draw. Looks suited here and can measure up on best.
