The Gardens Race 12

Ladbrokes Punter Assist

Stake: $2,495

MEGARA (8) drawn the outside box and could get a clear run. Was below best last time when 8th and beaten 14 lengths at Taree Super Track (18.36). Has a strong winning record here at this journey including one wins. Worth another chance. SONGAR SADIE (1) stalked the lead from a middle draw and boxed on well to finish 4 lengths back in third (23.30) at this track in a Grade 5 over 400m. Can measure up. ZULU DRIVE BY (6) finds it hard to win. Better run when finding the frame last time though, finishing second (18.64) at Dubbo. Form here sound including three wins. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings three times from four starts. Expected to feature.

Comments

Struggling to break through but racing consistently, finishing in the minors three starts on end. Last time out flew the lids with a fast early sectional but gathered in and finished in the minors when third (23.30) at this track over 400m. Deserves a win and gets her chance.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.53) in a Grade 5, finishing a 7 length sixth. Yet to win but has placed three times from this draw. Has ability and should be around the money.
