The Gardens Race 5

Bishop Collins

Stake: $2,495

HARDY RUM (5) is first up since finishing fifth (23.51) in a Grade 5 at Maitland over 400m three-and-a-half months ago. Has a good overall strike-rate and looks a key player. FROGGY DID IT (7) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fifth (23.43) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Can do much better this time. NITTY GRITTY (3) scored (23.39) last time out over 400m at this track four months ago. Rates a winning chance on best. LITTLE WHACKER (2) with some luck can improve on an unplaced run last time here.

Hit the ground running and set it up early clocking 22.54 with a 1.5 lengths win at Gosford over 388m. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.
