The Gardens Race 3

Geoffrey Redden Digital Pix

Stake: $3,186

FLYING MONKEY'S (1) Honest race when 3rd last start at this track and has a nice advantage with a good box. Putting up notable efforts since returning from a spell. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. BELTONE BOY (4) Finished on top last time at this venue. Won last 2 in succession. Should get going late. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . SMART COMET (3) Below standard effort when 4th last time at this track. Has shown early pace in races to date. Putting up notable efforts this preparation. Looks promising in this race. NAUGHTY ZESTA (5) Did well when 2nd last run here. Expected to be flashing home. One of the main dangers.

Finished 3rd last start at the track and gets a favourable box. Running with confidence since coming back from a break. Good chance at a nice price.

Got the cash when winning last time around here. Keeping a perfect win record the last 2 attempts. Should be swooping on the field late. Good potential.

Jumped at $13.00 and only fair when 8th last start around here but will try to take advantage of the draw. Will be facing a significant drop in distance. Need a lot of luck to be close to winning this.
