The Gardens Race 12

Stake: $2,495

NUKKUNYA (8) showed blistering pace early and gave a sight when in the minors, beaten 4.5 lengths over 400m this track in 23.00. Good beginner but will need a little luck early crossing from an outside draw. Can measure up this time. SHE'S ELABORATE (7) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fourth (23.38) in a Grade 5 at this track. Safe beginner but wide box to overcome and will need some luck. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. FLYING DAMIRO (3) trailed the lead and fought on well to be beaten 5.5 lengths into second (22.98) at Maitland in a Grade 5 over 400m. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Can feature again. NITTY GRITTY (2) is worth another chance despite missing the top-three here most recently.

Solid performance to win by 2.25 lengths at this track over 272m (16.01) beating Home Schooled in Maiden on May 9. Has hit winning form and is worth thought again.

Working his way into winning form after claiming his maiden success on April 23 at Gunnedah over 340m. Last start was second over 400m in 22.98, behind Ruination. Found one better last time. Well placed and worth following up.

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and drifts back in her races. The latest effort was a 2.75 lengths fifth over 400m at this track. Doesn't profile as a likely winner.

Missed the frame latest (23.38) when fourth over 400m at this track in a Grade 5. Starts from box 7 for the first time here. Looks a leading chance.

Placed last time (23.00) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing third and beaten 4.5 lengths. Yet to win but has placed two times from this draw. Looks hard to beat with even luck.
