The Gardens Race 9

Ladbrokes Punter Assist

Stake: $3,421

WAY TOO LONG (1) recorded her Best Time this course and distance when a 29.51 winner of a Grade 5 in one of the quickest wins on the program. Top win latest and looms as the one to beat again. POCKET POINT (7) could manage only second last time but ran good time (29.61) at this track over 515m when beaten 3 lengths in a Grade 5. Expected to feature again. SLICK SAND (3) tends to drift back and work into the race, finishing out of the placings two back before charging home into the minors latest when second (29.88) in a Grade 5 at this track last time. Expected to be in the finish again. ZIPPING SYLVIA (2) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Comments

Was far too good after running them ragged to make it two in a row at this track over 515m (29.51). Rates a leading player on recent form and will go close again.

At the last outing finished 7th over 515m at this track beaten 10 lengths (30.59) behind Rapido Vito in a Grade 5 on April 4. Major threat on best form.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage seventh last time out over 450m at Maitland. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.

Finished third at big odds last time (23.03) over 400m at Maitland. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks to have the job ahead.

Hit the ground running with a fast early sectional but found one better when runner up over 515m at this track clocking 29.61. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Pay to follow.

Missed the frame latest (30.01) when fourth over 515m at Gosford in a Grade 5. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Will need the right run.
