The Gardens Race 10

Tony Grey Fencing

Stake: $2,495

BUMPY'S LAD (8) produced a moderate performance last time when seventh at Rockhampton over 510m behind Mondo Cortez (31.25) in a Grade 4/5. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from seven starts. Has winning claims on his best figures. SIR TICK (7) has a strong winning strike-rate this journey here having won two of four starts. Missed the frame latest (22.95) when sixth over 400m at Maitland in a Grade 5. Makes strong appeal on best. CRANKY CRUISER (3) goes very well this course and distance starting 11 times for four wins and four minors. Hit the frame latest (23.38) when third at this track in a Grade 5. Suited here and expected to run well. HOW HIGH SPIKE (5) is very honest and looms as a strong winning hope again.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in his races. Last start finished seventh over 400m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Will need to improve to feature.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.47) in a Grade 5, finishing a 2.75 lengths fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Looks one of the chances.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 4.5 lengths third over 400m this track in 23.38. With a good start will take catching.

Ordinary effort last start when sixth over 400m at Maitland. Prior to that won by 0.8 lengths at this track (22.85) beating Maeve Baby in a Grade 5 on April 19. Key chance on best form.

Missed the frame latest (31.25) when seventh over 510m at Rockhampton in a Grade 4/5. Goes very well from the draw boasting one victory and four places from seven starts. Has ability and looks a key chance.
