The Gardens Race 5

Prize Money: $3,415

FEDERAL SENOR (1) shapes well after a swift run last time, finishing second in a Grade 4/5 at this track in 29.68. In form and looks the one to beat. SPIN AROUND BLUE (2) comes off an average effort last start when eighth at Wentworth Park over 520m behind Tennessee Kade (30.27) in a Grade 4/5. Was in the money the start prior. Must be included in calculations. HEY MAC (4) box seated early before forging to the lead turning and lifting to score (29.39) at this track in a Grade 5 over 515m. Has definite claims. SCATTER DUNN (8) is another with top-three prospects.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 29.68 over 515m at this track. Boxed on well to finish runner-up last time. Leading player.

Missed the frame latest (30.27) when eighth over 520m at Wentworth Park in a Grade 4/5. Has three successes and 10 minors from 17 starts from box 2. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Impressive performance to score by 2.5 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at this track, clocking a hot 29.39 for the 515m trip. Hard to top on that run.

Won two starts back when well in the market at this track over 600m. Last start finished 6th over 600m at this track beaten 16 lengths (35.72) behind Blue Storm in a Grade 4/5 on July 18. Not far away last start. Right in the mix again.
