The Gardens Race 12

Thedogs.com.au

Stake: $2,849

RACCOON WILLOW (8) Improved to place when 3rd last time at Taree in 17.7s over 300m and drawn nicely. Going up in distance. Hard to overlook. DRINK TO THAT (1) Tidy run when 2nd last time at Wentworth Park and can save some energy from the draw. Coming back in distance. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Definite claims. DAYS OF WONDER (2) Didn't find the line when 5th last start at Nowra. Has the talent to rebound quickly but will be down in distance. Shows good early pace. Can win this. KALANI CRUISE (6) Displayed a strong effort throughout the race when 2nd last run at the track in 30.24s over 515m but dropping back to a shorter trip. Should race on the speed. Serious player.

Looked good when 2nd last time at Wentworth Park and gets the perfect draw. Dropping in distance. Form has been improving over recent runs. Strong prospects in this race.

Started at $3.30 and was well beaten when 5th last start at Nowra. Has the talent to rebound quickly but will be dropping in distance. Expecting a strong showing.

Was $12.00 and lost ground in the run home when 6th last start around here. Should muster plenty of early speed. Entitled to be a big price.

Odds of $17.00 and clearly outclassed when 7th last start here. Others make far more appeal.

Good result placing 2nd last run at the track in 30.24s over 515m but down in trip. Won't be far away during the run. Very competitive this campaign. One of the punters top hopes.
