The Gardens Race 4

The Shorty Hotel

Prize Money: $2,335

DROP A STACK (3) led throughout to score two back then drifted back and missed the frame latest finishing a 3 length 5th at this track (23.83). Has winning claims on her best figures. ZIPPING OSAKA (2) turned in a moderate run last time when sixth at this track over 400m behind Zipper Surprise (23.48) in a Grade 5. Was a winner prior to that. The form from her last run stacks up well. Better than last start and can bounce back. RAVEN FLY (1) impressed last time when clocked a fast 22.91 win here in a new PB this course and distance. Smart winner latest and looks a key chance on that form. UNREAL STYLE (8) is in the mix despite finishing out of the placings here last start.

Had been in consistent form with three minors on end before missing the frame last start when seventh (24.29) at this track. Tricky draw to overcome and needs to find best form to feature.
