The Gardens Race 5

The Shorty Hotel

Stake: $3,825

MORNING DAYLIGHT (5) Controlled the pace when winning last run at Gosford in 22.08s over 388m and have to respect the form at the distance. Back over extra ground. Has found what on first sight looks an easy opportunity and will prove hard to beat. HI LO RAIN (7) Was outmuscled when 3rd last time at this track in 30.38s over 515m. Showing great form this preparation. Winning hope. SCATTER DUNN (2) Sub-standard effort when 7th last time at Gunnedah. Underrated. IBROX MAVERICK (1) Lacklustre showing when 6th last run at Wentworth Park but strong performer at the distance. Will be motoring home late. Gets a favourable draw. Can threaten if right today.

Below par when 6th last run at Wentworth Park but solid performer at this trip in the past. Should get going late. Will appreciate a good box. Marginal prospect.

Dictated terms in front when winning last run at Gosford in 22.08s over 388m and proven runner at this trip. Stepping back up in distance. Looks set to run a big race.

Maintained a solid pace but eventually weakened to finish 3rd last time at this venue in 30.38s over 515m. In fine form since returning from a break. Solid chance.
