The Gardens Race 9

Mkm Signs

Stake: $3,421

HERE WE GO (6) shapes nicely here coming off a superb 29.47 victory at this track over 515m. Hard to top on the time from last start. BLAZING WARRIOR (3) was a last start winner (29.73) from Box 5 at this track. One of the key runners again. TALK ABOUT REX (2) has shown good improvement at his last two starts, most recently finishing 2nd at Gunnedah over 527m. Ran one of the fastest times on the program last start despite finishing in the minors. Overdue and gets his chance. HURRICANE HUXLEY (8) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Flew the lids with a fast early split last time, hitting the frame with a 3.5 lengths second (30.71) over 527m at Gunnedah and making it two placings on end. Expected to go very well.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at this track over 515m in 29.73 last start, beating Limbunya. Looks the one to beat again.

Impressive performance to post a big 12 lengths win at this track over 515m (29.47) beating Sugar Jack in Grade 5 on January 11. That last win was in the quickest time on the card. Stick with him.

Form has been strong, including a victory two starts back. Last time out finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on December 20 over 400m at this track behind Raging Saige beaten 9 lengths (23.18). Solid chance with even luck.
