The Gardens Race 5

James Home Services

Stake: $2,840

MOLLY ON FIRE (8) has a strong record here with six wins and three placings from 13 starts. Below best last time at this track (23.09) in a NG, finishing a 8 length fourth. Expected to go close. MAX STAPPEN (4) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at this track over 400m behind Stylish Robbo (23.34) in a NG. Was in the money the start prior. Good beginner but will need a little luck from a middle draw. Should be about the mark. FASCINATE GEORGE (3) was long overdue after two placings in a row before a deserved win (22.90) last time at this track. Has a good record here at this journey. Expected to feature on best form. ZIPPING BERETTA (1) boasts a solid strike-rate from this box.

Comments

Risky starter who put in a fair effort in easier race last start. Looks well drawn here from the rails and will take some catching if jumps well. Is a danger.

Good effort to win last start by 2.25 lengths over 400m at this track in a handy (23.18), beating Rattlin' Impact. Was strong in the market last start won accordingly. Worth following.

Was out of the placings last time but the start prior was just edged out when second (23.04) over 400m at this track. Has a wide draw to navigate but is worth plenty of thought.
