The Gardens Race 1

@Thegardensgrnsw Maiden

Stake: $2,275

SUPER SKUNK (1) Tidy run when 2nd last time here and good career start. Has shown early pace in races to date. Been in the money each start this preparation. Worth consideration. PRINCESS ENERGY (7) Disappointing display when 5th last time at the track and coming back in distance. Genuine winning chance. KILCOY PEARL (8) Couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last time at the track. Is capable of a resurgence and has a positive box. Will be positive in the run early. In the mix. BOTOX CHEVY (2) Was competitive when 3rd last run at this venue and fitter for debut run. Has early speed and positions nicely. Anthony Lucas has been training plenty of winners recently. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value .

Ran well when 2nd last time at the track and gets a favourable draw. Has plenty of early speed. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this campaign. Should be in the finish.

Tidy effort when 3rd last run here and was a debutant last start. Expecting to settle positively. Anthony Lucas kennel are on a hot streak. Strong claims in this.

Was $6.50 and moved ahead of some to finish 4th last run at this track. Betting is the best guide.

Odds of $4.00 and ordinary performance when 5th last time at this track and down in distance. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.

Jumped at $1.75 and faded away to finish 6th last time around here. Is capable of a resurgence and has a good draw. Should race on the speed. Genuine claims.
