The Gardens Race 9

Minmi Hotel

Stake: $2,495

FASCINATE GEORGE (6) is progressing well and looks close to another win after hitting the frame from Box 3 last run (23.14) at this track. Likely to feature again. SWEET STREET (2) boasts a strong record this journey here with four wins and three minors from 11 tries. Was out of the placings last time (16.22) at this track in a Grade 4/5, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths. Looks well placed here and among the chances. DIVA'S DELIGHT (5) goes very well this course and distance starting 20 times for seven wins and five minors. Missed the frame latest (23.89) when seventh over 400m at this track in a Grade 5. Can feature with the right run. ASTON ROJA (1) is worth some thought after placing last start.

Hit the ground running last time with a strong early split and tried to lead throughout but had to settle for the minors when third (23.17) at this track over 400m. Right in the mix here.

Missed the frame last time but was narrowly beaten two back when second (19.84) over 336m at Muswellbrook. Has a wide draw to navigate but is in the mix.

Comments

Found the going tougher last start when third over 400m at this track. That followed a win two back in 23.21 beating Big Rush over 400m at this track. Happy to risk this time.

Expected Early Speed:Midfield
